Left kidney shows mild hydronephrosis due to 17.5 mm calculus in upper ureter. This is my report. Doctor says to do laser operation quickly to pass the stone as the other kidney may get damaged because it swells up due to the stone.

A 17.5 mm stone is large and likely to cause urine blockage, leading to kidney swelling known as hydronephrosis. This condition needs timely intervention, as delay may damage the kidney. If your doctor has advised surgical removal, it is best to proceed without delay to prevent further complications.
