How Can The Kidney Aneurysm Eruption Be Avoided?

My Mum has been diagnosed with an anurism on her kidneys...4.1. She has to wait for a scan until December 2011. Is there danger of this anurism erupting at any time. What can she do to avoid an eruption? She is still having occasional cigarettes and is worrying herself sick. She is 77 years old and had a bowel/colon op 6 months ago which successfully got the cancerous tumour.

Urologist,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your anxiety.
A renal aneurysm can potentially have a rupture.
This can be prevented by several techniques.
She should stop smoking at once.As she had surgery for cancer colon,she needs to be examined by an Urologist and then do the following tests :
Blood routine,creatinine,RBS,LFT,platelets,CT-IVU or a MRU.
An abdominal CT scan and angiography is needed,with a chest X-ray.
The aneurysm can be blocked by interventional techniques,using coils.
