Hello,
With the question "Right kidney stone 9mm, does grade 1 pyelonephritis need urgent treatment?" , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Currently, to screen for ureteral stones, there is ultrasound and abdominal CT scan to check the size, number of stones and see if there are any other complications. With your condition is a 9mm stone with grade 1 fluid retention, you should go to the hospital for an examination with a Urology - Nephrology specialist for advice and treatment of this stone in the best way. If left untreated for a long time, it will lead to chronic kidney failure or will experience renal colic due to large stones and cause urinary obstruction.
If you still have questions about kidney stones, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
