Whom Should I See For Sponge Kidney?
I have a kidney stone 4mm - ended up in emergency with severe pain. CAT scan revealed many calcifications ib both kidneys so they told me to see a specialist as I may have a congenital thing called spongey kidney. Do I see a urologist or a nephrologist? They said if I have that I may end up with more stones over time and need to get a final diagnosis from specialist.

Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!
I would suggest seeing a Nephrologist since they will be taking care of your kidneys over time. They will also prescribe a diet for you to decrease the stone recurrence.
