A 7mm kidney stone lodged in the right pelviureteric junction (the junction where the kidney connects to the ureter) is unlikely to pass naturally and often requires medical intervention. While medications can help with some types of kidney stones, they are generally ineffective for calcium stones, which are the most common type. Surgery is often recommended for stones of this size and location

I'm a bit worried about my recent urinalysis results. Everything seems normal except for the RBC and hemoglobin levels. A few years back, I had some issues with sand and crystals in my urine. Should I be concerned about the RBC levels? Is this harmful, or could it be related to my previous issues?
