  5. I had an ultrasound yesterday, and the results showed that my left kidneys upper calyx is 6.5 cm and the middle calyx is 4 mm. Could this cause any problems in the future? Ive been taking K Mac B6 syrup for kidney stones regularly. Are there any side effects I should be aware of? What do you suggest?

-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
