I had to go to the emergency room last night because of abdominal pain and bleeding. They said I had a bad urinary tract infection and a kidney stone about two centimeters. I only have  one kidney. I had to have the right kidney removed in April of 2013. They found a mass on it. I just wanted to know if the kidney stone will damage the kidney I do have because they told me I needed to go back to my kidney doctor within the next day or to. I was wandering why.
Hello, Untreated kidney infection and a kidney stone would keep on damaging your kidney unless and until stone is removed and infection treated. This becomes all the more important since you are having only one kidney. You must learn from your kidney doctor, how to keep your remaining kidney healthy. Consult the doctor as early as possible. Once this remain kidney gets damaged, you have no other option except to go for kidney transplant. Thanks
