Question 1

Ive got these three kidney stones, around 10mm each, and Im a bit worried about them. One has already moved into my bladder and looks like the other two are on their way.

Question 2

So, I'm a bit worried about my 7-month-old son. He's got hydronephrosis in his left kidney and there's this PUJ obstruction. The doctor is saying he might need surgery. I'm just wondering, how can we tell if this is getting worse? Should we consider ...

Accepted Answer

To monitor the progression of your son's hydronephrosis with PUJ obstruction, your doctor may recommend regular ultrasound scans (every 3-6 months) to assess kidney function, drainage, and signs of deterioration; additionally, nuclear medicine studies like MAG3 or DMSA scans may be performed to evaluate kidney function and obstruction; surgery is often recommended for PUJ obstruction to prevent long-term kidney damage, but the timing depends on the severity of the obstruction, kidney function, and your child's overall health

Question 5

I'm hoping to get some clarity about something that came up in my sister's recent ultrasound. It mentioned a mild prominence of the bilateral pelvicalyceal system. I'm a bit concerned about what this actually means for the baby and how serious it cou...

Accepted Answer

mild prominence of bilateral pelvicalyceal system  is typically not serious and often resolves naturally. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor for ongoing monitoring to ensure the babys kidneys are developing properly. After birth, if necessary, the baby may undergo further tests to assess kidney function.

Question 6

I'm a 64-year-old guy, and I've had this high fever since yesterday. I'm also dealing with frequent Urination every couple of hours, but it feels like I have to go more than what actually comes out. My doctor suggested Citralka and Dolo, but I'm wond...

Accepted Answer

CT value of 32 in your husband's RT-PCR test result indicates that the test detected a relatively low amount of viral RNA. This suggests that the infection is likely mild, and he may be less contagious .

However, it's essential to note that CT values aren't always a perfect indicator of infectivity or symptom severity. Some studies have shown that people with high CT values (above 30) can still be infectious, although the likelihood decreases  .

Given your husband's mild symptoms, such as a cough and sore throat, and a high oxygen saturation level (SpO2 of 99), it's likely that he's experiencing a mild case of COVID-19.
