A member asked:
Just discharged w/nephrostomy tube. ct and scope both show mass/stone in l kidney, irregularly shaped, jagged edge and is 6.9mm . 2nd sepsis treatment?

Antibiotics = sepsis: The antibiotics are used to treat sepsis or infections in the kidney; the nephrostomy tubes are used to relieve blockages, in this case probably caused by the masses or stones. The two problems may be related, but are treated separately; and u can get one (blockage) without the other (sepsis). TTYD and Urologist to see what shd be done. Good Luck, Thanks for your question.
