    Stones

    Couple questions--do you have a history of stones? If this is not your first stone, have they analyzed the make-up of the stone? 

    I have Medullary Sponge Kidney, so my my kidneys look like bird shot.  Too numerous stones to count in both kidneys.  The kidney with my tumor had the most stones, so the chunk they took out certainly had a few of them with it.  I'm pretty fortunate in that I pass stones all the time, but few bother me.

    Take care and good luck.
