Can Kidney Function Normally After Removing All The Stones?
I have multiple stones in my right kidney, and have passed many, and lately had kub ultrasound, found out that there are still about 14 to 15 stones left... with hydronephrosis. The radiologist says my kidney looks bad already and said i should have it removed. I went to the nephrologist to show my result and he asked to have a ct stonogram, which i haven t done yet. If i pass all the stones, will my kidney still be ok?
the answer is: it depends. In fact, if in your life you had lot of episodes of hydronephrosis, kidneys may be suffering this past. Otherwise, kidney stones can be eliminated without reliquaries for kidney function. For sure, you should study the type of stone you produce, perform PTH, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, urinalysis and suprasaturation of urines. This may give us an hint on the underlying cause, and hopefully stop the process. Let me know,
