Left renal concretions are solid masses made of different minerals that form in the left kidney. They are the same as right renal concretions, but they form in the left kidney. Anyone can get these stones, but certain lifestyle choices put some individuals at an increased risk of developing them. While renal concretions are typically harmless and pass through the system on their own, they can sometimes lead to complications as serious as kidney diseases and failure. The size of the stones varies, and they can be as small as a grain of grain to as big as the size of a tennis ball.Â
Renal concretions also differ based on their composition. Calcium oxalate stones, calcium phosphate stones, struvite stones, uric acid stones, and cystine stones are the most commonly found renal concretions, which form due to different reasons. If an individual has left renal concretion, he will most likely experience pain in the flank area, i.e., the side areas of the lower back that extends to the sides and the abdomen, fever, chills, vomiting, smelly or cloudy urine, feeling of burning while urinating, etc.Â

Several factors can contribute to the formation of left renal concretion. The cause of the condition is bound to differ for all individuals. Renal concretions can form due to hereditary factors such as having a family history of the condition, as well as due to lifestyle habits and underlying health conditions. Some factors put individuals at an increased risk of developing left renal concretions. Some risk factors for renal concretion are as follows:Â
Left renal concretions are sometimes asymptomatic but typically accompany several discomforting symptoms. The symptoms and their severity can vary for each individual, based on the type of stone the patient has, its location, and the patient’s overall health.Â
Patients with left renal concretions can experience mild to severe pain in their flank area that can radiate to the sides, abdomen, back, or groin depending on the severity of the disease. While some patients complain of mild, persistent pain, which is always present, some experience fluctuating pain that comes and goes and may differ in intensity.Â
Aside from pain, urinary symptoms are also a common indication of left renal concretion. For example, if you have an increased urge to urinate, discolored urine, pink, red, or brown blood in the urine, or discolored urine, you may have renal concretions. Fever and chills may also occur if the patient has developed a stone infection.Â
The doctors suggest a combination of tests to diagnose left renal concretion. These tests help the doctors understand the severity of the condition and rule out any complexities that might complicate treatment. The doctor begins the diagnostic process with a physical examination of the patient, which involves an assessment of the patient’s symptoms, their medical history, etc. The doctor also checks the flank area for inflammation or swelling. After the physical assessment, the doctors suggest some standard diagnostic tests for kidney stones, including:Â

As with any other surgery, preparing for left renal concretion treatment helps in many ways. It brings down the risk of surgery-related complications and also helps patients remain calm and composed during the procedure. So, here are important guidelines that you must follow to receive a hassle-free treatment for left renal concretions:Â
For left renal concretions that are relatively small in size, conservative treatments can give effective outcomes. If the doctor suspects you may have small or medium renal concretions and surgery isn’t necessary, they may suggest the following:Â
Along with these medications, the doctor may also suggest patients increase their fluid intake, as doing so can help stones pass naturally through the system.Â
When the renal concretions become enlarged, and patients find it to pass them naturally, non-surgical and surgical procedures may be suggested. Some common non-surgical and surgical procedures for the treatment of large renal concretions are as follows:
After all left renal concretion treatments, the doctor will advise you to make some lifestyle modifications such as increasing your intake of water and healthy fluids, eating the right foods, maintaining a healthy body weight, and adopting other healthy habits. This will not only help pass the remaining stone fragments easily but will also help prevent stone formation in the future.
Typically, it can take a few days to several weeks to recover after left renal concretion treatment. Recovery time is based on the type of procedure performed, underlying conditions, and the patient’s overall health. Here’s how long recovery takes after different left renal concretion treatments:Â
Getting timely treatment for left renal concretion has several benefits. The potential advantages of getting the stones removed in time are as follows:Â
It is natural for patients to have some questions before the left renal concretions treatment. The questions can be regarding the severity of their condition, the treatment, recovery, and so on. Your doctor will resolve all your queries beforehand to help you remain calm during surgery and resolve any apprehensions you may have about treatment. Here are some questions you can ask the doctor before your left renal concretions treatment:Â
Renal concretions, left or right, can exhibit multiple symptoms, and it is essential for the patients to recognize these symptoms in time. Recognizing these symptoms in time can help patients prevent the condition from aggravating by seeking timely treatment. Here are some signs to see a doctor for left renal concretions treatment:Â
Renal concretions can be treated through a range of methods, and different methods work differently for individuals. Therefore, there’s no single ‘best’ method of left renal concretion treatment. While medication can give the desired results for one person, surgery may be the most suitable option for someone else.Â
Yes. Renal concretions increase the risk of kidney disease in individuals, especially when they’re left untreated. Therefore, to avoid the risk of kidney disease, and other complications, such as stone-related infections, kidney damage, and renal failure, patients must seek timely treatment for the condition.Â
The cost of left renal concretion treatment depends upon the type of treatment you’re receiving, in addition to other factors. Here’s a treatment-wise bifurcation of the cost based on the type of procedure:Â
Yes. With large renal concretions, there persists a risk of obstruction of the ureters, which can ultimately affect urine flow. Therefore, if the doctor suspects the patient may have large concretions, they may suggest timely treatment.
In most cases, renal concretions pose no threat to the patient’s life and pass through the system without causing any discomfort to the patient. But, in some cases, these stones can lead to kidney damage and renal disease that can be potentially life-threatening.Â
