What Is Meant By Mild Right Renal Pelviectasis ?

Hi; I m 48. Did ultrasound and got Mild right renal pelviectasis. No demonstrable cause. No calculis or hydronephrosis on either side. This may simply be physiological. I sometimesdo have very low back pain on my right side, and do have symptoms of IC, frequent urination, painful urination lately, but no bacteria in urine. Please help me how can I treat this.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There is slight dilation of your renal pelvis (the broadened top part of the ureter into which the kidney tubules drain). This is an absolutely harmless condition and does not indicate any disease condition. The symptoms are not related to this condition and probably due to an associated infection. You can take drugs like Cyclopam for symptomatic relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
