When do i know i definitely need to get my dad's kidneys checked? can i afford to wait a few days to see if it gets better? is kidney stones curable?

Check kidneys?: To get a meaningful answer to your question, ask the physician(s) (p) involved in his care your questions. His p knows him better than any one else, so go and give them a call. Good luck.
