Question 1

I have been experiencing pain on both sides of my abdomen, near the kidneys and ribcage. My physician advised an ultrasound, and the report indicates a left renal calculus and bilateral renal pelvis dilation, suggesting UTI or cystitis. Other organs like kidney, liver, and bladder appear normal. What should be my next step? Should I consult a kidney specialist or continue with a general physician?

Question 2

Two months ago, I experienced stomach pain and underwent an ultrasound scan. The report showed that the pelvicalyceal system in my left kidney is prominent, possibly due to a lower ureteric calculus (stone). The liver appears normal in size and shape, with no focal lesions or other abnormalities.
After medication, my pain has reduced to minimal levels, but I want to be sure that there are no remaining stones. I am willing to consult at a good hospital for further evaluation. Please advise on how to confirm the absence of stones and what steps I should take next.
Thank you.

Question 3

Dear Sir, my sister is suffering from swelling on her face and legs due to protein leakage in urine. Her 24 hour urine report shows protein 7.43. She does not have high blood pressure or diabetes. Please suggest treatment. She is 34 years old and weighs 50 kg.

I have some problem with my urinary system and also PCOD. My ultrasound report shows mild fullness of the right renal pelvicalyceal system and both ovaries are enlarged in size. What is the actual problem in the right kidney?

Mild fullness may indicate early hydronephrosis, possibly due to transient obstruction. Enlarged ovaries are typical in PCOD. Please do the required kidney function tests and a urology consult.
