Hey, I recently got some kidney measurements from an ultrasound and Im a bit concerned. My right kidney is 79x32mm and my left kidney is 83x33mm. Im 22 years old, so Im wondering if these sizes are normal for someone my age? Should I be worried about anything here, or is this within the typical range?

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

-It seems like your ultrasound shows a 6.5 cm size in the upper calyx of the left kidney and a 4 mm stone in the middle calyx. While the larger size might need monitoring, the 4 mm stone is small and could pass on its own. K Mac B6 syrup is generally safe

Question 5

Hi doctor, I wanted to check if my creatinine level is normal and if my kidneys are functioning properly. Should I be worried or consult a doctor? Can you guide me on this?

Accepted Answer

A creatinine level between 0.6-1.2 mg/dL for males and 0.5-1.1 mg/dL for females is considered normal; if your level is within this range, your kidney function is likely normal;

Question 6

I have an 11mm kidney stone on the left side, and my doctors have suggested Laser Surgery (RIRS). I want to know if lithotripsy can be done instead of RIRS for my kidney stone.

Accepted Answer

Lithotripsy can be a suitable option for treating kidney stones, including stones of 11mm size. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is a non-invasive procedure that uses shock waves to break down the kidney stones into smaller pieces that can be passed out in the urine. However, the effectiveness of lithotripsy depends on the composition and location of the stone. It is best to consult with your doctor to determine the most appropriate treatment option for your specific case.
