Nephrology

I’ve had recurrent urinary infections and intermittent left lower back pain for the past three years. I was consulting a government medical college urologist and now seeing a private urologist, who has advised an abdomen and pelvis CT scan with contrast. Due to breathing issues, I’ve already undergone 5 CT scans and am concerned about further radiation exposure. I understand CT KUB (non-contrast) is best for kidney stones. But can I opt for CT KUB (for stones) + MRI abdomen and pelvis with contrast (for soft tissue evaluation)? Would this approach provide what the doctor needs in more detail, with lower radiation? Or should I proceed with the recommended CT abdomen-pelvis with contrast, as it may offer the most detailed imaging? Looking for professional guidance on whether this alternative is suitable.

I have a kidney creatinine of 6.01.how could I manage my blood pressure without dialysis.please help me

Hi Doctors, I’ve been experiencing lower back pain and I suspect it might be due to a kidney stone. Unfortunately, I can’t undergo a CT scan as I’ve already had multiple chest HRCTs recently. An ultrasound (USG) didn't reveal anything conclusive, and an X-ray can't detect small stones. Are there any other reliable options to detect the size and location of a kidney stone without a CT scan? Can ureteroscopy be used as a diagnostic tool to detect stones near the kidney? If yes, what is the approximate cost for diagnostic ureteroscopy? If not, what alternatives can accurately detect kidney stones in such cases?
