kidney stones pictures ct scan

He had a cat scan a few years ago for a different injury, so they don't want to do another because of the radiation. He's had two different MRIs though. Wondering if kidney stones would have shown up on those pictures? I will look into that, thanks.

I have had soft stool, sometimes watery for about a month now. I am also having pain on my right side. It started under my rib in the front and is now on the actual side and sometimes radiating up the back. My doctor sent me in to have an ultrasound of my abdomen. 4 years ago I had one and they found polyps in my gallbladder. In this ultrasound, they were still there. However, he also ordered an abdominal x-ray and found calcifications.

I have screenshots/ exported images from a renal ultrasound done 8/2011, a CT scan done 7/2011, and a CT scan done 12/2009. The 2011 images are of a kidney stone in my left kidney, and the images from teh CT scan in 12/2009 are of a kidney stone in my right kidney that was elsewhere when the CT scan in 7/2011 was done. http://community.webshots.

So four days later i went back again. Well this hospital preforms a ct scan looking for kidney stones. They found the kidney stones they were looking for. However they left me with this overwhelming fear after telling me that they seen a shadow on my lower left lung. I had 3 pictures taken so for the radiologist to say he didnt like what he seen, does that mean it was on all 3 pictures and does that mean there is something there. I'm a 25 year old mother of 2.

If they did a urinealysis and found that your urine was clear (your words) then they probably meant that you had no blood in your urine and therefore you did not have a kidney stone. Usually with a kidney stone, although many times you can't see it with your naked eye, there will be blood in your urine. That is probably why they didn't do a Cat Scan, as they felt there wasn't a kidney stone causing your pain and problem.

The pain could be new stones or due to stones passed down from the kidney. If they are radio opaque they can be picked up by X rays. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Doc ordered me a CT scan... scan was normal, no kidney stones. 2 days later, I got really hot and sweaty and sick feeling then felt something moving from my kidney to my bladder. Pain went down a little... For the last 4 months, I have had an occasional sharp pain mainly in my right kidney... maybe a really sharp pain about 4-5 times a week. Very occasional dull pain that would last for a few hours. Well, 2 weeks ago, the pain came back again... a little more severe than last time.

Maybe ask for an STD/vaginal infection test to rule this out and maybe an X-ray/CT scan just in case you think this might lean towards kidney stones. I hope everything gets resolved soon; sounds like you've been dealing with this for a long time. This is a long shot, but apparently problems with your liver can also alter the appearance of your urine, but I think since you are having cramps the issue might be more confined to the feminine/bladder/kidney area.

Now last Thursday I pass blood in my urine again so the doctor sent me for a ct scan and they found I have a 4mm located in the lower ureter about 10cm about the pelvic inlet, I have little attacks of pain nothing to outrageous they start from my back and work do to my groin but when I do I Am passing tiny bit of sand look stuff that's kind of grey looking. Is this the stone breaking up or something else?

Hi my husband has been suffering from kidney stones for 20 years now and his last bout was September 2013 were he had yet another blockage which had to be removed in October after a stent being inserted again. Ct scan after op in October 2013 showed another 2 x 2mm stones in left kidney always same kidney. He took renal colic pain beginning of March 2014 and got an emergency appointment with consultant who organised ultrasound.

I recently had a ct scan of the abdomen and pelvis for blood in the urine. The only things it mentioned were mild thickening of the bladder, and segmental thickening of the colon (especially rectosigmoid). The "impression" of both stated that they may be due to incomplete distension. My urologist said he wasn't concerned with the bladder remark, as he had already done a scope to check my bladder.

I ended up going to the hospital for the pain. They did another CT scan and told me that the stones had not moved at all from the last CT. They gave me a shot of Torodol and sent me home. I was miserable for the rest of the night. How is it possible to have that much pain and blood in my urine if the stones are still in my kidney and have not moved?

•burning or painful urination •pain in the back, lower abdomen, or groin •cloudy, dark, or bloody urine •foul-smelling urine •fever and chills •vomiting To confirm the diagnosis, the doctor may order an x ray called an intravenous pyelogram (IVP). In an IVP, dye is injected into a vein. The dye travels through the blood to the kidneys. As the dye is filtered into the urinary tract, it makes urine visible on the x ray and shows any blockage in the urinary tract.

I am a 60 yr old female with extensive history of kidney stones since 1978 (before lithotrypsy), recurrent infections & blood in urine. I am prone to both calcium stones & uric acid stones. First kidney stone was size of a walnut & could not pass so was removed by actual surgery. Over the yrs I experienced more stones that would not pass so more surgeries. Have developed scar tissue in both ureters & have had 2 stents. Extreme pain so stent removal.

For the echogenic mass, further investigations like kidney function tests and CT kidney, urinary bladder should be done. I suggest you to get it evaluated from a urologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Kind regards.

Hi i had a ct scan for kidney stones and the dosage was 149.69mgy.cm. Can you please tell me if that is a high dosage.

I have had half a dozen kidney stones in the last year or so. This definitely sounds like it could be a stone. The pain generally happens as the stone goes into the ureter and travels to the bladder. Once in the bladder, it doesn't usually hurt too much but may cause frequent urination, etc. If you don't have anymore pain, i would just strain your urine for awhile and wait to pass the stone. If you have more pain, you can go to the ER and have a scan done.

I agree with pixiepie they cannot move from one side to another. you probably passed the one on the right without knowing and new one formed on the left. Also a kidney infection will have the same symptoms as a stone, the only reason you have pain is because of blocked urine flow and swelling of the kidney which happens in infection and stones. If you haven't already you should really be seen by a doctor and have a CT scan done to tell which it is.

I recently had a CT scan of the Abdomen and pelvis. I cannot get an appointment for the results for two weeks but in the meantime I have asked for a copy of my results of the CT. I just want to know what "Pelvic Pleboliths, Cholelithiasis and benign sclerosis of the left femoral head" means. The report also reads " benign appearing cystic change within the right ovary - No free fluid".

When they did the CT Scan to check for kidney stones - it showed that one of his lungs is FLAT on the bottom. WHAT does this mean? He's a reformed smoker - quit cold turkey, 30 years ago when our son was born. He has no overt respiratory symptoms. Please help?

I went to the emergency room and they did a ct scan on me for possible kidney stones. The ct scan showed nothing. And a couple months later the pain faded. Well about 4 months ago in march or april it came back, still a dull pain, but mostly hurts the worst in the morning, but when i get up and move around it tends to fade a little. But is still there. Then one morning i passed a couple small kidney stones, and i figured that was the problem. But the pain didnt go away.
