Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service...
I've gone through your query in details...
Well, the ultrasound abdomen reveals the following things:
1. There's fat tissue deposition to the entire area of the liver (fatty liver) along with an area of an unclear image adjacent to the gallbladder (could be due to infection/inflammation or some collection of fat/fluids)...
2. The right renal pelvis (of the Kidney) is enlarged (dilated), which could be due to some structural anomaly (from birth) or could even be due to some structural anomaly of the ureter (the pipelike structure which drains urine from the kidney)...
3. There are cysts in both the kidneys, which are generally harmless, but if they grow big they can give rise to pressure symptoms inside the kidneys as well as enlargement, which can be ascertained after some further investigations...
So, the mild right Pelviectasis may or may not be related to this, further evaluation is required...The ultrasound didn't mention anything regarding the urinary tract, bladder... In order to get a clear idea about it, further investigations (namely CAT-scan of the abdomen with special focus to Kidney, ureter, and bladder) should be performed...
Please discuss this with your doctor...
Let me know if I can assist you further...
Take Care
Kind Regards
