A member asked:
An x-ray showed a 6mm mid-left renal calculus stone in my 17 years old daughter. is this in the kidney?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: The term renal indicates that the calculus is in the kidney. Mid refers to the midpole, or near the center of the kidney, as opposed to the upper or lower poles. If the stone were to pass into the ureter, it would be reported as a ureteral stone. A 6mm stone may pass on its own, but chances decrease above 5mm. If there are no symptoms it may not need treatment, but many options are available.
