Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It means, there is a small 4mm stone in the upper part of left kidney.
2. As it is present in kidney, endoscopic removal may be necessary.
3. In future, take plenty of fluids and depending on stone, you can modify your diet, to prevent further stone formation.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
