Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, let me assure you that creatinine of 1.3 is nothing worrisome.
You don't need to feel scared either.
Your numbness is probably due to anxiety, more than anything else.
Drink 12-15 glasses liquids daily.
Syrup K-cit should be replaced with Syrup Potassium Magnessium Citrate, which helps dissolve stones, much faster. Check your uric acid level also.
After a month of starting treatment, take an ultrasound scan of abdomen, which will give information regarding clearance of stones.
Many people with 6mm stones flush it out with this treatment.
Hope your stones flush out quickly.
Nothing to worry about.

Brief Answer:
Continue Tamflo. uric acid stones are also seen.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
Tamflo should be continued in the same dose. It helps stones to flush out.
Take the same syrup 15ml., twice daily. You can mix it in lime juice or water.
Meals is not a problem.
There are stones formed, due to excess level of uric acid, in the blood and urine.
If it's level is high, you'll need treatment to control it and prevent further stone recurrence.

Brief Answer:
Kidney function and uric acid level is normal. Continue advice.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Very pleased to know your kidney function as reflected by creatinine is 1.1.
Perfectly normal.
So is your uric acid level; 5.1. Again normal level.
Just continue with the medication advised earlier, and hopefully, your stones should shrink in size and flush out. Avoid taking milk and dairy products in excess.
Repeat an ultrasound scan after one month of starting treatment.
Wish you well.

Thank you doctor for your valuable reply.
When i visited by doctor near residence, he was asking me to undergo lithotripsy to break 7.2mm stone on left kidney.
Is this mandatory or should i go with only medicine that was prescribed?
Thank you,

Brief Answer:
You're welcome.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
If there's no left flank pain or blood in urine, you may very well wait for one month, repeat the ultrasound scan, and then decide.
Continue with medication for dissolution of stones.
The 7.2 mm stone may reduce in size, and lithotripsy can be avoided.
Wish you well.
You're welcome.
