hi.. i had my ultrasound yesterday and its says that "theres a moderate separation of pelveocalyceal system, bilateral. More pronounced on right side.", i want to know what does that mean, is it something serious? and what are the possible treatment for it. I had my ultrasound because im experiencing mild pains on my right side tummy. Last year, i was diagnosed to have kidney stone on my right kidney but it was treated with medicine. Im 24 years old, female, 52kgs in weight and 5ft in height, I hope to get help from you soon. Thanks in advance!
Dear patient, this is a usual finding in general population. The only real influence of this condition may be an increased likelihood of stone formation, although this is not true for all patients. On the other hand, make sure to do a complete stone workup (PTH, total serum calcium, vitamin D) and possibly the stone analysis (if you collected it). Let me know, An Chat Doctor.
