The report mentions calculus in the urinary bladder and a PVR of 85ml along with an enlarged liver. Does this mean I have stones or pathri? Is surgery the only option for treatment?

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?
