Hi there. Yes you definitely need to consult a physician or a nephrologist and see if it is still salvagable. Also have to see the current sizes of your kidneys on ultrasound abdomen which will give us a fair idea if it can be salvaged and also to see if you still have stones left.
I recommend that you consult a physician or a nephrologist at the earliest and start treatment for the complications you already have.
hope this helps!
