Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
You've to remember to do an annual ultrasound-KUB,to check for stone.
A stone formation in a solitary kidney can become an emergency situation.
As far as fatty liver is concerned,tell him to test lipid profile and LFT.
In some cases,in hereditary hyperlipidemia,this kind of fatty change is seen.
According to the reports,further treatment can be advised.
If you've any doubts,send all reports to me,as a direct question.
