What Does 4mm Calculus Seen At Lower Pole Of Kidney Indicate?
hi doc, I was admitted to the hospital because of the stomach infection and dehydration and discharged yesterday and while looking to the complete report everything is normal except the report says something about a 4mm calculus seen at lower pole of the left kidney which I came to know is a kidney stone, please advise me through and how dangerous it is.

Hello
Thanks for query.
Your ultrasound Scan has revealed presence of stone of a size of 4 mm in your left kidney.
Normally in majority of cases the stone of a size of 8 mm can pass out through urine .You can expect it to pass down through ureter down in to bladder and then outside through urinary passage .
Please ensure to drink more water to pass ore urine .
Take pain killers whenever you get pain.
Be in touch with your family Physician.
