Kidney Stone Symptoms
About an year ago, I came to know that I have stones of few millimeters in both of my kidneys. I took medicines, and after nearly 6 months ultrasound showed that, my one kidney was free of stones. But the other one still had few. Now, from a month, I am having wetty stools. One of my friend suggested that may be my 1 kidney has failed that’s why I am so much watery content in my excretion.
So, I just want to know that what are the symptoms if only 1 kidney fails…?

you should see your docter imediatly, most likely both of your kidneys are functioning, mabye one is infected or it could be any host of other things, if you have only one functioning kidney then you are more sesptibal to infections and fatigue and I have read that your overall quality of life goes down and that your life expectancy goes down the drain too,

The kidneys help to filter the urine. Watery stools usually mean a blockage in your intestines or your body isnt absorbing any fat from the food you eat. Go for a colonoscopy and get some blood work done.

Do see your Doc immediately. But, just read that if your kidney fails, the moisture in either form of excretion dries up. So, if you are having wetty stools, it could be the side effect of the various medications that you have had. It still may not be that bad.
