Hello and welcome to HCM,
Kidney stones with back pressure changes is a dangerous condition if not treated in time.
If the back pressure continues, it can lead to atrophy of the renal parenchyma and thus deterioration of renal functions.
Thus, you need to consult your surgeon or nephrologist for management.
You also need to get renal functions done to assess the status of renal functions.
Thanks and take care
