Could The Problem In Kidney Be Due To The Removal Of Stones In The Past?

Within the past 4-5 months I have had bowl accidents without feeling them come on. I have had problems with my kidneys and the right kidney is good and the left works approx. 14%. Within the last 4 years I have had 2 surgeries for very large stones. Do you feel this has anything to do with my kidney s and should I make an apt w/ my kidney specialist? Both time the kidney stones were discovered by accident. There was no pain involved.

Hello
Thanks for query .
You had undergone surgeries for removal of stones in left kidney twice in last four years .
Function of the left kidney is detected to be only 14 % .This suggest damage of the kidney due to long standing presence of stones in kidney what is called as calculus kidney failure

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) DMSA scan to assess kidney function
4) Renal function tests.

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