He had his kidney removed 8 years ago, he had RCC stage 2. He had follow ups that were all clean. Last year he had his prostate removed too. And a month ago, we found the recurency in his column and in his lungs. He is 69 years old.
I am his son, and had my kydney removed last year with a RCC stage 1, I´ve had 2 ct scan since, and all are clean.

Have a 7mm and the pain is intense. Confirmed by wet CT-scan. Waiting to see urologist.
Just wanted to know if there was a chance it could pass.
Primary Care physician said they don’t usually pass.

My husband has been haveing terrible back pains and went to the Dr. His blood work showed very high protein in his urine. He also had a CT Scan and has either an infected cyst of an infarction on his left kidney. What does this mean as far as treatment , prognosis, in other words is he going to be ok? I am wondering why he wasn’t started on antibiotics. He has been in pain for approx. 3 weeks. He is to have a biopsy this coming week. He does have Diabetes and high blood pressure.

April 2nd. I was in the emergency room with severe pain to only find out I had kidney stones. The large one I passed that day or afterwards little did I know. The doc gave me demeral, vicodin, and flomax and sent me home. The flomax has terrible side effects, I’m debating whether I should even take it anymore! I am still having problems with stomache cramping and gurgling and sometimes my urine is orangeish colored. I am drinking plenty of fluids like gatorade lemon juice and water. When I had my CT Scan, my big stone was no longer stuck in my ureter and had passed it. But the CT scan showed I had 2 other stones that were around 6mm previously which were shrunk down to around 2 or 3mm. I am still awaiting. How will I know if I’ve passed them for sure?
