Patient: hi Dr.i  am 30 years old man.i had stones in my kidney from the last 2 years but i take the treatment for it and i don't now if its go outside of or not.yesterday  i was so tired and i have make an ultrasound which shows minimal left sided PC dilatation what does this mean?and what should i do regarding this? Doctor: HelloYour findings suggests minimal left PC dilatation,it means there is minimal back pressure changes in left kidney may be due to calculus in kidney etc.Your report doesn't mention about calculus etc. Your condition need to evaluate about underlying cause.You need proper evaluation by a urologist,Treatment of renal calculus depend upon many things like composition,position,size of calculus etc.You may need CT scan of KUB region or IVP(intravenous pyelography)to investigate the underlying cause.Treatment depend upon findings.Get well soon.Take CareDr.Indu Bhushan
