Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.
Mild dilatation of both pelvio-calyceal systems,isn't anything to worry about.
You must check your creatinine levels and do a CECT(contrast CT scan).
That will show function of the kidneys and if it's affected.
Further treatment can be decided,after seeing these films.
Only if there's moderate to severe p-c system dilatation,treatment is needed.
If you want my expert opinion,send all reports,as a direct question.
