hi i had an ultrasound on my kidneys the results where i had hydrophrosis on my left kidney which was also large 14 cm but also my right was small 8cm and the wall was slightly thinned i went for further tests ct scan and 2 other scans a renagram and mri i think when i went to talk about my results whith the urolagist he was not concerned with my right and didnt say much about it and the left kidny will require surgery to remove a blockage he also said i was born with this but i am worried because i have read many things on the internet saying that slightly thinned cortex is kidney disease can you help me ?
Good day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor ! The Ct scan and the genogram would say a lot about renal function and since your Urologist is not concerned with your right kidney then I wouldn't be worried as well. On your left kidney you have a condition called ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJV) which would require surgical correction. I am thinking maybe the thinned renal parenchymal is on the left side which is common on UPJV.yours truly, Chat Doctor.
