A member asked:

Ct scan showed tiny punctate left lower pole renal calyceal stones which measure 1 mm or less in size. what does it mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pyelonephritis: Sounds more like a kidney/upper genitourinary infection rather than ureterolithiasis (“kidney stone”). check urinalysis for infection and treat with antibiotics if necessary. kidney stones may or may not ever cause problems until they pass into the ureter and cause obstruction.

Incidental finding on CT scan says multiple hypoattenuating renal lesions too small to be characterized as some subcentimeter in size. Multiple right renal calculi measuring up to 0.4 cm in the righty lower pole. Is this concerning or ignorable?
