A member asked:
There's a chalk spot in my kidney, what's the cause and harm of it?!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask doctor...: How do you know a spot in kidney being chalky, by x-ray or CT or MRI? If yes from either one, why did you have it? But, in many laypersons' mind, a chalky spot could represents the presence of non-moving stone in the kidney. More? Ask your doctor timely for details since s/he possesses more info about you than anyone online.
