A member asked:

Might it be possible that a a kidney stone go away by itself, how would you know?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: A kidney stone may pass without your knowing. The only way to know this would be to obtain an x-ray, ct, or ultrasound that showed that a stone that was there before is gone now.
