Is Kidney Spotting Controllable Through Medication?
My husband has two spots on his kidney, the sizes are 1.7 cm and 2.1 cm. The expected growth in 12 months on both is 1 cm. The Dr is suggesting watching the growth and when they reach 3 cm remove the kidney. Is there anything else that can be done before they reach 3 cm?

Your concern is true but it is very difficult to adress it and given a very limited information , the only advice that can be given confidently is to visit a doctor
