A member asked:
I have stage three kidney disease. have been passing small black masses the size of kidney stones but cannot be analyzed. dr. has no clue. any ideas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Collect them: The small black masses could be clots, fungal balls, tumors, tissue from the urinary system. I suspect that stone analysis did not look at these other possibliities. Suggest submitting them to pathology for evaluation with a history and specific question.
