What Does Shadow On Kidney Indicate?

I had severe pain at the side of my back where my right kidney is located. I lost strength after a while and was given pain relieving injection. The pain subsided in time, but scan result showed shadow on my kidney. An IVU scan is to be carried out, but will like to know more about this shadow on my kidney.

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .
Severe pain in flank is mostly due to presence of stone .The shadow detected on ultrasound is mostly due to stone in kidney or mass in kidney .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Intra Venous Pyelography (I.V.P)
3) C.T Scan wiof abdomen and pelvis (If required )

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
