Yes, stones can remain in the kidney for years without causing any symptoms.

Is there a test to see if I have kidney stones?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My report mentions a solitary intraluminal mobile calculus with posterior acoustic shadowing, measuring 10.9 mm. Will I need surgery to remove it?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

As per ultrasonography two months ago I had a lower ureteric stone on the right side. Today I did another ultrasonography and the report says no calculus found on either side but mild right renal PCS dilatation and proximal hydroureter?
