A member asked:
I have a 1.5 cm stone at the bottom of the left kidney. will it pass down through the tube?how far will it get before it gets stuck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A stone that size: is unlikely to enter the ureter ..stones of less than a mm (1.5 cm=15 mm!!!!!!!!) are usually passed..... The chances are your stone is "stuck" in the tubular tissue of the kidney. Hope this is helpful Dr Z
