default
Posted on Tue, 17 Jun 2014
Question: I recently had a large kidney stone (staghorn0 removed. there are still pieces of stone. Am now taking an antibiotic for urinary tract infection. Have had several infections in the past and on Dec. 30th had surgery on a kidney which was full of pus. Consequently was in the hospital for 16 days while doctors were trying to get rid of the infection. My urologist takes x-rays often. Do they indicate whether or not I have another kidney infection?
