What To Do For Spots On Liver, Spleen And Left Kidney Along With Small Hiatal Hernia?
yes please. I have been experiencing abdominal pain and back pain with a huge change in bowel movements for over a month. Went to urgent care, they found 9 kidney stone on right side and 3 on left and said I had been backed up. They sent me for a ct scan with no contrast and it showed a contracted gallbladder and the kidney stones. Over the next 2 weeks symptoms became worse and had uncontrollable diarrahea(constantly yellow) from 5 to 11 times a day. I went to the ER the other night and all they said at first was they found the kidney stones. Blood clear, urine clear, ultrasound clear and all ct scan saw was kidney stones. I have not passed any stones. Two days later I received a call from hospital stating they went back over ct scan and saw I have spots on my liver, spleen and left kidney along with a small hiatal hernia. Any idea what is going on with me? Thank you

Hi and welcome to HCM.
It depends what kind of spots are these. it sounds to me more like some benign cystic disorder then some serious maligannt disease but further tests are necessary- Your symptoms are in most cases caused by IBD but hiatal hernia can be reason for it as well. You should start with antiacid medicines and change your dieatry habits. You should repeat ct scan in 6 months to see progression of these spots and do tumor markers.
Thanks for the query. Wish you good health. Regards
