The ureter joins the kidney at an area called the renal pelvis.
The renal Pelvis
The ureter.
The inner layer of the kidney that leads to the ureter is called the renal pelvis. It collects urine from the kidney's collecting ducts and funnels it into the ureter, which carries the urine to the bladder for storage.
This finding suggests that there may be some dilation or swelling in the kidney and upper part of the ureter on the left side. It could be due to various reasons such as a prior infection, kidney stone, or other obstruction. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider may be needed to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

The kidney pelvis is a funnel-shaped structure that collects urine from the kidney's calyces and funnels it into the ureter for transport to the bladder.
