What does mild pelvicalyceal fullness of RH kidney and LH kidney shows mild hydronephrosis mean?
Patient: I had undergone a abdomino-pelvic sonography, it reads that I have stones measuring 6-7mm in both kidneys... however it also reads mild pelvicalyceal fullness of RH Kidney and LH Kidney shows mild hydronephrosis. What does it mean? and can the stones be dissolved? The stones are of calcium oxilate? Doctor: HelloThanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have no obstructing stones of a size of 6-7 mm in both the kidneys.Fullness of the Rt kidney is not significant Hydronephrosis of Lt kidney suggests obstruction to flow of urine from kidney into bladder and is most likely to be due to presence of impacted  stone in left ureter which need to be evaluated further by dong radiological test called IVP.There is no medicine that can dissolve the stones.They will either pass down over a period of time through ureter into bladder and urinary passage or may need endoscopic fragmentation in case you get repeated episodes of pain,vomiting and fever ..Ensure to repeat your scanning every month .Ensure to drink more water .Dr.Patil.
