Hi, Thanks for writing in. An 8 mm stone in the left kidney is a concern for urinary obstruction. It is important to know the exact location of the stone at present and for this you might require repeat ultrasound scan. You should be under treatment of the urologist. They will decide if you require a procedure called lithography to break the stone in to smaller parts and allow it to be passed out in urine. If there is HY Chat Doctor.  Doing regular kidney function tests is important. Please continue
