What Does "left Renal Calculus" In Ultra-sonography Of Lower Abdomen Indicate?

After going through ultra-sonography of lower abdomen, my report shows that there is an echogenic calculas with posterior acoustic shadowing measuring 4 mm noted in the upper pole of the left kidney.
Impression: Left renal calculas. What does this mean?

The doctor has advised me to undergo endoscopy.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It means, there is a small 4mm stone in the upper part of left kidney.
2. As it is present in kidney, endoscopic removal may be necessary.
3. In future, take plenty of fluids and depending on stone, you can modify your diet, to prevent further stone formation.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
