[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The ultrasound report suggests that there is dilatation of the left pelvis and left ureter. Dilatation of pelvi-calyceal system is seen in case of obstruction at level below the region of dilatation. The most common cause of obstruction is kidney stones. Other common causes include an intramural mass or an extra-mural mass compressing the ureter. Further investigations are required to find out the cause of obstruction. Consult a surgeon or a urologist for relevant investigations and further management. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
