Hi my mom has had a surgery on her right kidney 30 years ago. she has had stone in her kidney. now she has pain in kidney and a little bit of skin swallows under her eyes. she has done ultrasound today and according to the report there is a fullness in right kidney as well as extra-renal. what does it mean?thank you in advance
HelloYour mother findings may suggest fullness of pelvi-calyceal system in right kidney. It is the dilatation of collecting system in right kidney. Extra renal pelvis generally doesn't require any treatment. Fullness of P-C system may be due to many causes like obstruction due to calculus, reflux,PUB obstruction etc. It is most likely not related to calculus as it is not mentioned in the report. Other causes should be investigated and treat accordingly. She may need MVP(intravenous paleography) etc. Treatment depend upon findings. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
