A member asked:
Could you tell if you had pkd or other kidney problems with a ct scan or ultrasound?have had same kidney stone for years and i thought theycane out

Some (larger): kidney stones do not "come out" or are a part of the kidney's structure, CT or ULTRASOUND is/are good tests to disclose kidney STONES but are not generally sufficient to study kidney disease which requires blood/urine tests and sometimes renal BIOPSY! Hope this is helpfu Dr Z
