As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.

So sorry...kidney stones are 1.5mm not 1.5cm. I didn't notice my mistake until I read your answer. Can you re-evalute my question with this new info?

Hi XXXX ,
Well, 1.5 mm stones, doesn't need any active treatment, except drinking 3 litres fluids daily.
It may have already flushed out by now.
It's difficult to even diagnose these on a scan.!!
They don't affect the kidney in any way,so don't worry.
You don't need to carry out any tests also.
Wish you well.
