A member asked:
Kidney stones since i was 10. ct shows multiple stones greater in right with shotty retroperitoneal lymph nodes. will stones cause lymph node problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LIkely unrelated: Shotty or mildly enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes noted on ct is a non-specific and not uncommon finding and usually of no clinical significance in an otherwise healthy person. Otherwise, causes include infection, inflammation, and malignancy. Unless you have had recent or recurrent episodes of painful stone passage with associated inflammation, i suspect the two findings are unrelated.
