Nephrologist (Kidney Specialist) Questions Kidney Stones

Are kidney stones serious?

I'm 37 years old and female. My doctor thinks I have kidney stones after I was complaining of pain on my left side and has scheduled an imaging test. Are kidney stones serious?

Not really. Now there are many ways to pass a kidney stone:

-Apple cider vinegar
-Drinking lots of water every few hours
-Herbs
No, not dangerous. If this is your first time, you may have been dehydrated or eating a high salt diet. Hopefully it should pass on its own if it is < 6 mm. You need drink 2 L of water daily.
Yes
