Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

The kidney stone is blocking urine output from the left kidney. This situation is dangerous for his left kidney and should not be left alone. He should consult urologist as soon as possible. The stone should be either crumbled or removed.

Please do not wait with it.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
