A member asked:

Should i be concerned about kidney stones on both sides?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: It depends on the size, position and composition of the stones in the kidneys. Bilateral ureteral stones on the other hand are an urgent matter. If both ureters obstruct, acute renal failure can result.
