A member asked:
Can kidney stones by chance cause hives on the skin? have had calcium oxolate stones, have a ct scan scheduled tomorrow but it is without contrast to check on stones doesnt it need to be with contrast? pcp had to order due to insurance issues w/ uro?

Unlikely: Kidney stones are not a likely cause of hives. It is good that the CT is going to be without contrast and you should go ahead with that.Ddrink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless to suppress formation of new stones. Wish you good health!
