Hi welcome to HealthcareMagic
ESWL is new technique for the removal of kidney stones, it produces high frequency shock waves which will break the stones to smaller size and the remains will get expelled in the urine.... till now no side effects seen...
Yes you can do the ESWL for kidney..
Hope I have answered your question..
