This can be due to various reasons such as obstruction, infection, or kidney stones. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
"Ptotic of right kidney" refers to a condition known as nephroptosis, where the right kidney is abnormally positioned lower than its normal anatomical location.
