I recently got an ultrasound done, and it showed that my left kidneys upper calyx is 6.5 cm and the middle calyx is 4 mm. Should I be worried about this causing future problems? Also, I've been taking K Mac B6 syrup for my kidney stones. Could there be any side effects from using this syrup regularly? Would really appreciate some advice.

-It seems like your ultrasound shows a 6.5 cm size in the upper calyx of the left kidney and a 4 mm stone in the middle calyx. While the larger size might need monitoring, the 4 mm stone is small and could pass on its own. K Mac B6 syrup is generally safe
