Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HealthcareMagic..
I thank you for posting your query here and I am definitely going to help you out.

I read your question completely and have understood it well enough..

Please note..

1. What scan was it? If ultrasound and it says concretion then it may suggest that there is some sludge

2. Is there Hydroneprosis!? Of the left kidney.

3. All in all, I strongly suggest that she needs a plain CT of KUB region.

4. With this report, we can guide the further treatment.

5. Also, please let me know if there was a history of Renal Stone disease anytime in the past?

Hope to get the answers soon..
Take care..
