A member asked:
Punctate nonobstructing calcific fleck found on left kidney pelvis. i must control stone-mkg w/ urocit-k. will this fleck get bigger or pass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stone passable: If stone is described as punctate it is likely only a millimeter or two in diameter which makes it a good bet to pass if it moves into the kidney tube (ureter). If you are on Urocit K (potassium citrate) I assume that you have been diagnosed with a low citrate level and this medication supplements the level which can prevent certain calcium crystals from forming. Key is to have stone monitored, with good hydration
