Urologist,  's  Response
Hello Han and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.
On ultrasound or CECT(CTscan),a minimal (R).p.c system prominence, is of no significance.As long as the kidney isn't affected, there's nothing to worry.
In the majority, this is a congenital(by birth),finding.
Only if the p.c.system is significantly dilated,an isotope scan is done.
That would give us an idea about individual kidney function.
But at your age,with no symptoms,don't bother.Rest of the scan is normal.
