Brief Answer:
No need to worry about Kidney

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read the reports.
The finding of kidney is suggestive of a scar in the left kidney due to - may be infection in past and there is nothing to worry about it now.

A bit worrisome is the stones in the gall bladder.
Although it is not showing any signs of infection or inflammation, it needs to be removed, if you do not want complications to occur at a later date,.

Not to worry about the left kidney at the moment.

Brief Answer:
No medicines help

Detailed Answer:
When the gall stones are present, the only treatment is removal of the gall bladder by surgery.

Since the stones are foreign bodies, this will cause infection and if a small stone passes into the lower duct can cause pancreatitis and obstructive jaundice.

There are no know medicines which can dissolve the stones.

Avoid things which have more oil and cheese, you can certainly have a normal diet.
