Hello there,
Pelvocaliectasia means the absolutely the same thing as hydronephrosis and hydronephrosis is condition where the urine collecting system of the kidneys is dilated. Sometimes this is happening because of underlying illness and sometimes because of some other medical condition.
Since this condition is occurring due to some obstacle or blockage during the urine flow to the urethra the treatment usually depends on the cause of the problem. Causes can be numerous and some of them are kidney stones which are usually easy to treat.
But some causes such as bladder stones or even worse bladder cancer are much more serious conditions. When your doctor figures out what is causing hydronephrosis he will suggest the best treatment option to restart the flow of the urine from the kidney.
