My recent CT stonogram revealed that I have a non-obstructing nephrolithiasis in the left kidney. It is a rod-like calsific density noted at the inferior calyx of the left kidney which measures 1.6 x 0.7cm (+746HU). I knew I had kidney stone measuring 1cm way back in the mid-90s but I was told by my nephrologist that it s non-obstructing and just let it not grow or increase in size, by drinking more fluids.

A high RBC count would indicate you have some bleeding somewhere, like cystitis or nephrolithiasis. A high WBC would indicate you inflammation from somewhere. And a few bacteria is of no concern, all of us have some bacteria down there. However if a culture grew 100,000 CFU of a single bacteria that would be an indication of UTI, but that's not your case. So, yes, your UA looks normal.

Hello, Yes bilateral nephrolithiasis i.e. stone formation in both the kidneys can be present at the same time. Kidney stones are of four types: calcium oxalate stones, struvite stones, uric acid stones or cystine stones. Potassium citrate is used for the treatment of stones.

The interaction has also been reported with atazanavir/ritonavir. A case series describes three patients who experienced excessive opiate effects of buprenorphine during concomitant antiretroviral therapy with atazanavir, ritonavir, and various nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Two of the patients had been on their antiretroviral regimen for several months and reported doped-up feeling, dizziness, and feeling high following initiation of buprenorphine 8 mg/day.

No significant change hepatic hemangioma. I'm wondering since this is my 3rd ultrasound (the hemangioma was discovered during a CT scan incidentally a year ago) and things have been stable. Do I need an MRI still? I asked last year and was told that since I had the CT and we followed up with an ultrasound MRI would be too much to do. I was also told that if an ultrasound came back questionable then an MRI would be ordered. Is it safe to rely on ultrasound for this?

In your case as kidney stones are present, so these definitely need evaluation as nephrolithiasis or kidney stones are known to cause hematuria. My sincere advice would be to consult a urologist.

Hello, in your case the nephrolithiasis ( stones in kidney) are responsible for causing the pain, blood in urine and difficulty in urine. I’ll suggest consulting a urologist for the same and seeking treatment depending on the size of the stone. If the size of the stone is small, it’s usually treated with ESWL in which shock waves are given from outside and stone breaks into small pieces. On the other hand, if the stone is quite big, then the surgical removal of the stone is a better option.

Hello, What you have described is the colicky pain of nephrolithiasis (kidney stone). It could have struck in the ureter also.

Most patients with MSK remain asymptomatic throughout life. However, complications such as infection, hematuria, and nephrolithiasis may happen and this is prevented by periodic ultrasound. This is because ultrasound findings can demonstrate complications related to calculus disease. I hope this helps. Take care and keep us posted.

If one of my patients had similar symptoms I would also evaluate them for nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) and inflammatory bowel disease. Ask your physician about basic blood work (CBC and comprehensive metabolic profile), urinalysis, and most importantly a CT scan (94% sensitive and 95% specific for diagnosis of appendicitis. Very Respectfully, Dr.
