How Long Does It Take To Clear Sludge From Kidney?
How long can it take to clear sludge from a kidney? My grandson is 8 and had surgery for a blocked ureter (it was a vein) twice. Now almost a year later he has similar pain. An ultrasound shows no frank hydro nephrosis. Surgeon suggested it is sludge. Can a CT scan show the presence of this?
