Feeling Tired And Dizziness. Ultrasound Of Kidney Done. What Does The Report Suggest?
Question: Hi, I'm 41 year old. Just had a Ultrasound of KUB, the results is "A 4.0 mm sized calculus noted in lower calyx of the right kidney" what does that mean? Also Why I am feeling tired, dizziness during day.
Hi
Welcome.
4 mm renal calculus is categorized as small.
Needs only plenty of oral fluids, reduced red meat intake if you happen to take them and restriction of alcohol, if you take.
You need repeat check scan every 6 months to one year.
The other symptoms are unrelated and need careful history, general examination with BP CHECK and specific check up towards possible causes and treatment.
Possible causes are
1. Anemia.
2. Thyroid problem
3. High blood pressure
4. Diabetes
This is not complete list and you will be guided by your physician.
Life style changes that would help are
1. Multiple small meals instead of two to three large ones.
2. Regular exercise and yoga.
3. Plenty of oral fluids including water.
Hope this helps. Kindly get back for doubts if any---
Regards
