Hi do i have to see a urologist just found out on ultrasound that herez a 8mm cortical calcification in my upper pole of right kidney(i went in for a liver and abdominal ultrasound originally cuz i am a hep b carrier so my hepatologist wanted the ultrasound to make sure everyhing was ok) i have right flank and rib and right lower thoracic pain around the kidney area that wakes me up but i had a hockey related injury about 1 1/2 yrs ago where i sublixed my last 2 ribs on same side so ive always attributed my pain to that injury and didnt think anything of it unitl now

hai,

from your relevant history possibility of the injury may cause the calcification in the right kidney.
pain may be because of that too(calcification in kidney.)correlating with your associated symptoms will help in ruling out the cause.
however ,i do suggest a urologist for your ultrasound report for further opinion and management.

thank you
hope i answered your query
