What is the difference between mild bilateral pelviectasis and hydronephrosis?
Pelviectasis is a general term used to describe dilation of the renal pelvis, or collecting system of the kidney. Hydronephrosis also refers to dilitation of the renal pelvis, but has the added connotation that the pathology was caused by an obstructive process, such as a kidney stone.
What is mild bilateral renal pelviectasis?
Mild bilateral renal pelviectasis refers to a slight dilation of the renal pelvis in both kidneys, which is the part of the kidney that collects urine before it moves to the ureter. This condition can be caused by various factors, including urinary tract obstruction or reflux, and is often detected through imaging studies such as ultrasound. While mild cases may not require treatment, monitoring is essential to ensure that the condition does not progress or lead to complications. It is important for individuals with this diagnosis to follow up with their healthcare provider for further evaluation.
What is bilateral pelviectasis?
This is a condition in which there is dilatation of the renal pelvis, the kidney part that is in direct connection with the ureter. The ureter is in direct communication with urinary bladder. If urinary bladder infection occurs, transmission through the ureter to the renal pelvis may occur resulting a more serious infection known as pyelonephritis which was reported to be more common in children born with pelviectasis. Pyelonephritis can cause chronic renal damage. Pelviectasis is usually diagnosed in the prenatal period or shortly after in newborns and is thought to be a self limited that resolves later. Dilatation in the renal pelvis in adults occurs when obstruction below the kidney level occurs either in the ureter or in the bladder near the ureteric orifice (like stones, fibrosis). Back pressure will cause changes in the kidney usually in the form of renal pelvis dilatation and calcyeal dilatation.
What is mild right sided pelviectasis?
Mild right-sided pelviectasis refers to a slight dilation of the renal pelvis on the right side, which is the area where urine collects before it moves to the ureter. This condition can result from various factors, including obstruction or anatomical variations, and is often identified through imaging studies like ultrasound. While mild pelviectasis may not cause symptoms or complications, it requires monitoring to ensure it does not progress or lead to kidney issues. In some cases, it can resolve on its own, especially in pediatric patients.
What is trace pelviectasis?
Well I know pelvi = pelvis and ectasis = expansion but I don't know what trace means.

Are renal pelvis and renal calculi the same?
The renal pelvis and renal calculi are not the same. The renal pelvis is a normal part of the body. Renal calculi are kidney stones and are not normal.
