A member asked:
I think i have a sand in my kidney. is it curable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sand means stones: If you see gravel in urine, these are miniature stone. It is curable by drinking 10 or more cups of liquid daily. If you have a known stone history or a family history, check with your doc to decide on specific therapy. Decrease salt in diet and take no calcium pills as a general measure.
