Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
A non-functional kidney,with less than 10 % GFR,must be removed.
A kidney stone must be treated,depending on it's size.
Stones less than 6mm size,can be treated medically.
Treatment is medical dissolution drugs and drinking 3 liters fluids daily.
Larger stones are treated by lithotripsy,with ESWL,RIRS or PCNL.
If you've any doubts,send a direct question to me,in my name.
