What Does Shadow On Kidney Signify?
My husband found out he has a large kidney stone. They did a cat scan in the ER yesterday. Today the doctor called and said he has a shadow on the kidney. What could this be? He is scheduled for an ultra sound. Is this cancer or could it mean something else.

may be he would simply indicate the shadow that is observed after a stone is under an ultrasound beam (which is diagnostic for stone). Otherwise, please post the US report. Take care,
