Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
She has complex lesion in right kidney that has compress pelvicalceal system and caused its dilatation and that has follwing possibilities.
1.Cystic lesion with inflammation, infection or haemorrhage into it.
2. Xanthogranulomatous lesion
3. Renal cell carcinoma
In order to reach at final diagnosis she needs CT abdomen with contrast.
There is no problem with travel as her kidneys have normal size and morphology and there is no risk of hypoxemia.
However the diagnostic dilemma should be settled soon as possible.
Hope it helps best.
