What Does This Renal Scan Report Signify?

May I know if there should be any concern when a report mentions a 0.3cm echogenic focus in the right mid renal mid pole, suspected to be calculus or calcification.

Patient is a chronic UTI patient, 72 years old, with 3 cases of bladder stones removed. Will the stone at the renal move the the bladder and cause bladder infection again? what are the few causes of calcification or stone/cysts in various organs? thank you. Ms Lee

Nephrologist 's  Response
Hi,

nothing has to be done for the stone, stones less then 5 mm generally come out by itself. stones do not cause bladder infection. bladder infection is due to bacteria entering the urine system from blood or from urinary opening.
