Nephrologist,  's  Response
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Looking to history, your son has stomachache and left lower pole calyceal dilation.
Calyx dilation in children requires evaluation with basic urine report, S. creatinine, Kidney sonography and sometime micturatingcystouethrogram(MCU) to rule out VUR (reflux).
Don't get worried. Sometime it can be congenital findings and require no treatment.
I think this would be helpfu; to you.
Best wishes. TC.
