I have attached the reports kindly check... Doctor told us the small kidney(55mmsize) is of no use it isn't Working it will only spread infection to another kidney and will damage it with time patient already has infection in the urine and creatinine levels are also high doctor gave a course of medicine for 15 days and told us to wait and repeat the tests if medicine worked he will priscribe medicines for life and if medicine will not work infection is still there she suggested us to save another kidney from infection and remove the small one as she has 3 stones in it and she gets pain even worse sometimes she doesn't have diabetes but her bp gets high sometimes.

Hi.. If there is repeated infections in the kidney, or some abnormal growth , or uncontrolled blood pressure then the kidney needs to be removed. However consult the nephrologist and discuss with him in detail regarding the same. He will be able to guide you for the same after reviewing the patient and examining her and reviewing all her records and reports.
