Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Renal calculus 9.8 mm +40 mm cyst +hypertension + serum creatinine 3.5(normal less than 0.76nmol per day)+ E S R increased.
All these sign & symptoms are an indication of chronic renal failure .
As you state in your query that there was edema ( swelling over legs few days back) ,so in my opinion consult a Urologist and get in his opinion.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
Good luck for your father.
