Question 1

can a kidney stone be 7 cm?

Accepted Answer

Check with doctor: I have never seen a 7 cm kidney stone before, but I have seen a 7 millimeter stone accidentally reported as 7 cm. Having said that, i guess anything is theoretically possible.

Question 3

i have a 7 mm kidney stone will it pass on its on or will it get stuck ? i'm due to fly in aweek scared with the stone !

Accepted Answer

Depends: Is it still a kidney stone of has it passed into the ureter and is now a ureteral stone? If it is just sitting in the kidney it will probably stay there for some indeterminate time, maybe, "forever". If in the ureter, it can cause pain and blood in the urine as it makes it way down.  The chances of stone passage  for stones 5-7 mm, 60%; for stones 7-9 mm, 48%.
Good luck.
