Hello
Your findings suggests small doubtful calculus in mid pole of both kidneys.
As there is diagnostic dilemma,I suggest for non contrast CT scan of KUB region.
CT scan can assess exact position of calculus.
If it is diagnosed as parenchymal calcification then you may not need further treatment.
If it is found in collecting system then you may need treatment.It may be in the form of conservative treatment.
You may also need routine hemogram,random blood sugar,urine RE/ME.
As size of doubtful calculus is small in your case,it may be flushed out with hydration and sodium,potassium citrate syrup.
Get well soon.
Take Care
