Hello,
Mild hydronephrosis does not cause any problems and only close monitoring is required. You can go for a renal function test(RFT) to check the functional status of kidneys.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family physician
