What Causes Growth In Kidney While Diagnosed With Kidney Stone?

I was diagnosed with a large kidney stone yesterday. Saw urologist today. He wants to get a MRI of my kidney before addressing the stone because he said my kidney has a hump on it where it rounds. They want to see what the hump is. He thinks it s genetic since birth but wants to make sure. My question... what could cause this if not genetic?

Hi
It is possible that the hump may be due to irritation caused by the stone. However it is always better to rule out other causes such as associated non cancerous or cancerous growth in the kidney and hence the request for MRI scan from your urologist.
