Should I Be Concerned With One Kidney Removed And The Other With Tapering At PUJ With Kidney Functioning Normal?

I had my right kidney removed due to RCC in 2009. I have cystineuria and now after regular check up my remaining kidney has mild to moderate dilatation (3cm transverse diameter) with tapering at PUJ. I have had ultrasound, contrast CT and now have to have a nuclear renal scan. Should I be concerned. My kidney function appears normal

Hi,
Absolutely! You have to take utmost precaution and if required treatment to ensure normal functioning of the residual kidney. Be in continuous touch with your nephrologist and with the urologist if required.
