Hello Kimberly and welcome to HCM.
Your question doesn't say anything about the Left kidney.
A 7mm kidney stone is not a problem at all to cause any worry or lead to kidney failure.As an Urologist, i've treated so many patients over the years with much larger stones, with endoscopy only,lithotripsy or laser.
Please send the report of your U/S scan,blood creatinine, urea, uric acid, sodium-Na,K-potassium,and anymore tests done.You can contact me by name for an expert opinion.
