I am 55 years old. Last five months suffering from kidney calculus 7 mm with hydronephrosis and hepatomegaly with fatty infiltration. What should I do. Suggest home treatment.

Question

A calculus which obstructs the outflow causes hydronephrosis due to backpressure. Hydronephrosis is the dilatation of the urinary collecting system. If the hydronephrosis is allowed to stay for longer time, It may cause thinking of the kidney cortex, which is the important functioning part of the kidney. It it catches infection it may lead to pyonephrpsis which is a worse condition as well. It is recommended to get the obstructing stone removed. Generally stones Of the size less than 7 mm do pass through urine, naturally. But if the stone does not leave the obstructing position it is recommended to be removed. The procedure chosen depends on the various factors. Consult Urologist. He will help you get rid of the problem.
