Uncomfortable Urination. Pulmonary Hypertension Patient. USG Showed Mild Cortical Scarring With Focal Parenchymal Thinning. Fear?

Hi I m a pulmonary hypertension patient. My pressure is 75. I ve not been urinating too comfortably. So did a USG abdomen pelvis lately with couple of other blood tests. My s. creatine , bun , liver tests,urine tests, all fn. only my USG shows mild cortical scarring with focal parenchymal thinning mainly seen in upper and mid pole region measuring 3-4 mm. No evidence of intrarenal calculus. N the left kidney has a tiny stone measuring 4mm. What does this mean. Am I in danger of renal failure in few years. What s caused the thinning of my kidney.

Cardiologist 's  Response
hi,
as you having pulmonary hypertension, discomfort of urination may be because of fluid retention in right heart failure. If you have any other symptoms of heart failure you consult a cardiologist.
And for renal calculus meet urologist , meanwhile drink plenty of water .
