I have been diagnosed with some sludge in my left kidney. Because the wait to see a urologist at the local hospital can be up to 6 mnths I want to ask what I can do myself (apart from drinking lots of water) to flush this sludge out - perhaps before I see a professional. Thank you P
hi thanks for posting in HCM I have understood your concern
1.if the sludge is causing obstruction to urine flow and leading to increased size of the kidney I.e.hydroureteronephrosis, you need to undergo ureteroscopy and Double J stenting. this stenting ll drain the sludge material . 2.during ureteroscopy possible amount of sludge can be removed 3. you need to drink lot of water 4.needs evaluation for sludge formation like serum uricacid levels, serum calcium, urine routine .
after 3 months stent should be removed.
hope this helps you any further questions please let me know thanks
