What is my sonography report of kidney showing?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Please interpret the sonography report.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have a stone in left kidney, lower calyx, 8.9 mm stone (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Go for serum creatinine test and you have to undergo CECT KUB and CT urogram as well to come to a conclusion regarding diagnosis and further planning. Make sure to get a CT urogram done. Accordingly we will plan further management.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Is there any serious issue?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Kidney stone needs treatment. 8.9 mm stone is not a small stone. It is of moderate size. Hence do a CT urogram and inform me. I will guide you. Or else consult with your local urologist.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I consulted urologist who suggested test X-ray KUB test CBC, kidney function test. I have attached reports here. In blood examination, creatinine level came at 1, last two years it was 0.80. Everything else in blood were elevated WBC and RBC, what is the option for me to get rid from this stone and creatinine reverse 0.80 if I get rid from this stone. Shock wave lithotripsy and other surgery have injured my kidney.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Your creatinine is within normal limits (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You need to do either a CT Urogram or IVU. I need the film or photograph of the CT plate or IVU plate (not the report). I need to read the film to get into a conclusive diagnosis and further management plan. Please upload your X-ray KUB film at least. And one more thing. Do not get upset. Your disease has got several treatment options. You need not bring down your creatinine to 0.8 as both are within normal limits. 0.8 or 1.0 does not make any difference. Please do a CT urogram or IVU and inform me. Further management plan will depend upon these reports. At least upload the X-ray KUB. I can give some idea regarding management by seeing that X-ray plate.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I have attached X-ray photocopy.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You have a left sided lower polar kidney stone. Please get one IVU or CT urogram done. I have suggested this on the very first day. We have to know the exact calyceal positikn of this renal stone. Then we can comment about the treatment options. However, by seeing this X-ray, I guess you will need either PCNL or RIRS. ESWL will not work in lower calyceal stone.
