Renal pelvic dilatation

Abdomen & Pelvis

Renal pelvic dilatation is a widening of the collecting system inside the kidney, the area that gathers urine before it passes to the bladder. It can happen from a blockage or other causes and may be present without symptoms. An MRI may show changes in the kidney's collecting system consistent with widening. Finding renal pelvic dilatation early allows for investigation into the cause and management that may help protect kidney function.
