A member asked:

Hello. i have 7mm echogenic cortical nodule in right kidney what does it mean and how to cure is that any emergency to see specialist?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No emergency: You should see a urologist in the future. It could be a number of things. Depending where in the cortex the nodule is located it, could even be a stone. See a urologist in the next month or so.
