| Question about my brother
Guys,
I have a question about my brother. Recently, he was experiencing some abdominal pain and now yesterday he was diagnosed with Kidney Stone. He already has high blood pressure and he is taking some medicines for that but it seems like its not working very well. Doctor told him that there is some swelling into his kidneys and he has to do an operation to remove kidney stones. I came to know about this today and now I am very tensed. I was thinking that swelling in the kidneys can be because of high blood pressure but I am not sure.
Do any of you guys know if this thing can be cured without an operation? What are the chances of successful operation? Any piece of information or personal experience will be very useful. Also, can he eat a high protein diet in this case…currently he is on high carb diet.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sam
