How to treat kidney stones?
Patient: Liver transplant 11 years ago - colon removed 9 years ago - no appendix no gall bladder - labs done every month - last month all ok - labs drawn on Monday - liver numbers elevated - bilirubin 7.5 enzymes elevated - no fever - no chills - a little jaundice in eyes - just finished an ultra-sound - does not seem to be an obstruction - but quite a few kidney stones - what do you think Doctor: Hi,Thanks for asking.Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Possible hepatitis. Require a hepatitis liver serological study to rule out any viral causes.2. Kidney stones management depends on the size. If smaller, large amount of fluids can be useful. If large and in kidney, might require surgery.3. Take plenty of fluids. Get yourself evaluated for possible hepatitis. Hope it helps.Any further queries, happy to help again.
