Renal stone: Renal concretions are kidney stones. They ca be diagnosed on xray, ultrasound (sometimes) and CT scan. If it is a large stone then they may need to remove it by surgery or lithotripsy. If it is small she may pass it on her own. Only if it blocks the outflow of the urine will it cause kidney damage in the future. She needs to always drink plenty of water and avoid calcium supplements.
