I had a renal ultrasound that showed a possible kidney stone. The doctor said no further testing is needed as it could be a shadow if not a small stone. My concern is that it is a misdiagnosed tumor. The doctor offered to request a CT scan to ease my mind, but I am not sure how to proceed. Thoughts?
1.first, I would request you to be relaxed...its natural for all f us to be worried about d tumor ...but these are scenarios where in tumors are the least possibilities, like this one.renal stones are so, so common, that if there is a shadow, doctors first would wish to rule DS out. There are multiple predisposing factors (both acquired and genetic) responsible for it.....so ct scan would be fair enough to rule out once there is a doubt about renal calculi.2.you can get a urine routine and microscopy as well with c/s to rule out associated UTI(if you have associated fever, pain abdomen and body aches)meanwhile Chat Doctor. All d best, dont worry...we are here.get back to us with the reports.
