According to the guidelines anything more than 5mm is considered as hydronephrosis or dilation in kidney they can again divided into mild moderate and severe as per your son's report he's in the mild one and we don't intervene till they have severe with urinary symptoms or have uti symptoms
Next Steps
has your son ever had a uti if so it's always better to do a mcug to rule out a VUR.
