hi
thank your for the query
sir/madam , after going through your query I would like to suggest you to see your urologist and get an appointment for surgery....sir renal stones of size 6 mm are an indication for surgery in your case size of the calculi is 8 mm and along with complication of swelling of the kidney which in my opinion could be an hydrouretero nephrosis..this would worsen your renal function if delayed further..get a CT abdomen done to check for any stones lower down in ureter..
hope I have answered your query
wish you good health
thank you
regards
DR Alekhya

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Apart from the size, the exact location will dictate the treatment approach..
Consult an Urologist... Ureteroscopic extraction / stent will clear...
Need further tests for the cause and prevention of future stones... hydration, diet and a few drugs are helpful...
Discuss with your doctor.

Take care     
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
