Hello
Thanks for query.
Your brother in law has Diabetes with kidney stone of a size of 7.2 mm with infection .

I would suggest following line of treatment
1) Control his diabetes with Insulin and proper monitoring of sugar levels.
2) Treat UTI with appropriate antibiotics after doing his urine culture
3)The stone of a sizeof 7.2 mm is likely to pass down spontaneously.
4)Once his diabetes and infection is well controlled repeat Ultrasound scanning after 2 weeks and if the stone is in a same position he may go for Extra Corporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy to frament the stone so that the gravel will pass out through urine.
