Yes, if the stone is smaller than 7mm then it can pass via urine within 45 days to 3 months. If it is larger than 7mm then it has to be surgically removed.

Take a Xpert Annual Health Check-Up with Smart Report Test or Take a INSULIN (PP) Test

Are kidney stones dangerous?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have two kidney stones. My ultrasound scan shows a 10.3 mm stone in the right kidney and a 6.3 mm stone in the left kidney. The scan also notes mildly increased renal parenchymal echogenicity, suggesting medical renal disease, with bilateral non obstructing calculi. My urine and blood tests show a creatinine level of 1.65 mg/dL, urea of 31.9 mg/dL, blood urea nitrogen of 14.9 mg/dL, and protein 1. I would like to understand what this means for my kidney health and what steps I should take next.
