iam 42year old lady. 12years before i had renal stone and got it operated in the left kidney. now when i underwent the tests the report came like hydrouretronephrosis in the left kidney due to the formation of calculus.iam scared whether this will affect the function of the kidney. can i get the stone removed with out causing any problem to the kidney. do you have any medicine to remove the stone other than operation.
Hello welcome to Chat Doctor Thanks for your query. Yes HY Chat Doctor. . Normally kidneys produce the urine and flows from kidney, ureter, bladder and urethra. If any obstruction in the outflow like calculus flow stops and the created back pressure exerts its effect on the kidney. Due to this kidney enlarges in size and in due course of time kidney will go into failure. You didn't mention in the query about the size of calculusCalculus of less than 5 mm size,there is no medication required.
