Hello Kimberly and welcome to Chat Doctor. Your question doesn't say anything about the Left kidney. A 7 mm kidney stone is not a problem at all to cause any worry or lead to kidney failure. As a Urologist, I've treated so many patients over the years with much larger stones, with endoscopy only, lithotripsy or laser. Please send the report of your U/S scan, blood creatinine, urea, uric acid, sodium-Na, K-potassium,and anymore tests done. You can contact me by name for an expert opinion. Chat Doctor.
