Hi,
as per your reports there is obstruction at pelviureteric juction leading swelling of kidney which now level 3. Surgical intervention is needed asap. Otherwise kidney may become non functional due to back pressure of urine. Obstruction needs to removed. Medical treatment is of no use in this case.
If there is subsequent pregnancy then both nephro surgeon and obs/gyn need to be consulted.
