Brief Answer:
It may be a technical error.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXXX
I have gone through your query in detail.
Findings are not suggestive of acute renal failure.Don't be so worried.
Since,you don't have diabetes mellitus and hypertension,it is most likely a technical error during measurement.
You should wait for complete reports.Echotexture of kidney is not mentioned in the query.If it is alright,there is no need to worry.
Latest renal size is still within normal limit.You should wait for blood report.
Get well soon.
Hope i have answered your query.
Further queries are most welcome.
Take Care

You have rightly stopped herbal medicines.These are not scientifically proved.
Treatment of choice for gall bladder calculus is surgical removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy).
