Hello
Your wife's findings suggests small calculus in right kidney.
Treatment of renal calculus depend upon many things like composition,position,size of calculus etc.
Small calculus may pass spontaneously with adequate hydration.
Drink lot of water and initially she may need syrup like sodium and potassium citrate.
She may also need routine hemogram,random blood sugar,urine RE/ME.
Since size of calculus is small in your wife's case,it is likely to be flushed out with hydration and sodium,potassium citrate syrup.
She may need need further treatment like lithotripsy etc if findings and symptoms persists.
Get well soon.
