Renal calculus or kidney stones are hard, mineral deposits that form in the kidneys. These stones can form in either or both kidneys. Stones that form in the left kidney are referred to as left renal calculus. These stones can form for a range of reasons, and the exact cause can differ from person to person. There may be a difference in the composition, size, shape, and number of stones.
Renal calculus is categorized into calcium oxalate stones, calcium phosphate stones, struvite stones, cystine stones, and uric acid stones. All these stones can cause different symptoms, and the intensity of the symptoms may also vary. Left renal calculus isn’t dangerous in all cases and may not even require treatment if the stones are too small, and there’s a possibility that they can pass on their own. However, there’s always a chance of complications in the case of kidney stones, and therefore, it is advisable for patients to seek medical intervention in time. The treatment for these stones also differs depending on the size, number, and type of stone and consists of both surgical and non-surgical methods.

Treatment options for left renal calculus range from non-surgical to surgical. The treatment that would work best for a particular patient depends on how complex their renal calculus condition is, their overall health, etc. When the stones are small and the symptoms are manageable, non-surgical treatments can work just fine. But, if the renal calculus accompanies discomforting symptoms, the patients may require surgery for removal. We will further discuss the different treatment options for left renal calculus.
Non-conservative treatment
To prepare for the treatment and ward off all apprehensions, patients must ask the doctor some important questions regarding treatment. Getting all the queries answered beforehand is a great way of being prepared for the treatment. Listed below are some questions you can ask the doctor before your left renal calculus treatment:

While anyone can develop left kidney stones, there are several factors that can put you at an increased risk of developing left renal stones. These may include:
It depends. In some cases, left renal stones don’t cause severe symptoms and pass through the system on their own.
