Not sure I see pathology

Not sure I see pathology here.

The images are a bit grainy and dark on my end.

I don’t see any pyelectasia and the increased density in the renal pelvis looks like fat.

Looks like good differentiation betwee the cortex and medulla.

I guess we will see what others have to say.

Medulalry rim sign which can

Medulalry rim sign which can be idiopathic and innocuous or also FIP so if inflammatory sediment in the urine I would consider a renal fna looking for granulomatous inflammation or better yet renal bx if you have nothing else to go on.
