This is an ultrasound (USG) of the abdomen and pelvis for Mr. Vasudev Lokhande (80-year-old male), done at Kamal Diagnostic Centre, referred by Neha Hospital. Here's what each part means in plain terms:
Normal findings (no concerns):
Liver, gallbladder, common bile duct, pancreas, spleen: All normal in size, shape, and texture - no stones, masses, or inflammation.
Bowel loops and lymph nodes: Normal, no swelling or abnormal nodes.
Urinary bladder: Normal, empties well (only 10 cc left after urinating out of 103 cc - a negligible residual, meaning the bladder is emptying properly).
Findings that need attention:
Kidney stones (bilateral, non-obstructing):
A tiny 3.3 mm stone in the right kidney and a 3.1 mm stone in the left kidney.
"Non-obstructing" means these stones are not blocking urine flow (confirmed by "no hydronephrosis" - no swelling/backup in either kidney). Stones this small often pass on their own or can simply be monitored with hydration.
Simple cortical cysts in the left kidney (largest 10 x 10 mm):
Fluid-filled sacs on the kidney surface. "Simple" cysts are benign, extremely common with age, and almost never require treatment - just periodic monitoring.
Prostate measures 3.9 x 3.7 x 3.3 cm, volume 25 grams - slightly above normal for a man his age, but only "borderline," consistent with benign age-related prostate enlargement (BPH), which is very common at 80 years old.
Calcification within the prostate (10 x 5 mm):
This shows "posterior acoustic shadowing" and a "twinkling artefact" on colour Doppler - both are classic ultrasound signs of a calcified/hard structure (like a stone).
The radiologist is not 100% certain whether this is:
A simple prostatic calcification (very common, usually harmless calcium deposits in the prostate), OR
A urethral calculus (a stone actually sitting in the urethra, which could cause urinary symptoms like blood in urine, pain, or difficulty urinating).
Because of this uncertainty, the doctor has recommended an MCU (Micturating Cystourethrogram) - a specialized X-ray test done while urinating, to clarify whether the calcification is in the prostate tissue itself or within the urethral channel.
Bottom line / what to do next:
Most findings (kidney stones, kidney cyst, mild prostate enlargement) are common in men of this age and generally not urgent on their own.
The main thing to follow up on is the prostate/urethral calcification - the referring doctor should arrange the suggested MCU test to determine its exact location and decide if any treatment is needed.
The report itself notes it is a professional opinion, not a final diagnosis, and should be interpreted alongside the patient's symptoms and clinical exam (e.g., any urinary symptoms, blood in urine, pain, or difficulty passing urine) - so please discuss these results and next steps with the treating urologist/physician at Neha Hospital.
