Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thalessemia Trait is milder form of Thalessemia. Unlike the 'Major' variety, beta thalessemia minor / trait form doesn't cause serious complications. This patient will be able to lead a normal life just like any other normal individual. In other words Thalessemia minor / trait has normal prognosis.
Renal colic occurs due to presence of renal stone (calculus). It is known to be recurring condition and therefore can recur again. The current stones are less than 10 mm in size and in most cases it will pass off without any issues. If you are able to extract the stone, get it evaluated at the lab to understand the type of stone - cholesterol / uric acid stone or any other variety.
Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards
