Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your condition needs proper investigation like routine hemogram ,LFT,urine RE/ME and Ultrasound of abdomen.
Ultrasound of abdomen can detect gall bladder and renal calculus.
You can also go for X-ray of KUB region.
CT Scan can be done in certain conditions.
Treatment depends upon clinical findings and investigation reports.
Take Care
