Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must advise you that, a white spot in kidney, is likely to be a stone. But, as the junior doctor isn't sure, the Urologist may want to clear any doubt, regarding less common condition,like a tumor.
This is because, he also has spots in his lung according to you. Were the spots in chest, seen on a X-ray or CT scan.
If you can send the scan to me, i can give you an expert opinion.
