Hello
Thanks for query .
Thinning out of cortex with presence of large stone of a size of 42mm is strongly suggestive of a long standing obstruction to urine flow from kidney in to ureter .This could be due to Pelvis Ureteric Junction Obstruction (PUJ Obstruction) resulting into damage to your kidney ...

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Intravenous Pyelography or Contrast C.T scan of Kidney ureter and Bladder
2) DMSA scan.

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
