I'm a bit worried about some results I got from an ultrasound. It mentioned something called hydronephrosis on the right side, but it says the corticomedullary differentiation is okay on both sides. It also notes that the cortical parenchymal thickness is normal. There's a small calculus, like 9 mm, in the lower part of my left kidney. I'm not really sure what all this means. Should I be concerned about the hydronephrosis or the stone? Could this lead to something serious?

I'm feeling concerned because I've been having a cold fever since my double J stent was removed from my kidney. Is it normal to experience a cold fever after this procedure, or should I be worried? My doctor mentioned it might be malaria since this type of fever isn't usually expected after stent removal. Could you help clarify what's going on?
