Hello

Fullness of pelvi-calyceal system may indicate obstruction in drainage part of kidney through which urine is excreted out.
It may be calculus,PUJ obstruction etc.
Since ultrasound of KUB doesn't mention about any calculus,other causes should be searched.
You may need IVP(intravenous pyelography).
IVP is important in assessing PUJ obstruction,function of Kidneys etc.
You may need some intervention depending upon findings.
Empirically you are rightly advised to take plenty of water.
CT urography may be needed after evaluation.

Get well soon.
Take Care
