[|Human|] I was told I have kidney stones. this was a shock to me due to the fact I have no symptoms. I went to get an ultra sound because under my ribs was hurting bad and I had a lot of weight loss. They are having me strain my urine and all I see are little black things that look like splinters. what is going on
[|AI|]  Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I can understand your anxiety. An ultrasound scan can detect stones in the kidney. A CT scan can accurately detect the stones on a plain film. An urine routine may give an indication of possibility of a stone. You need to get following blood tests done, in view of weight loss :1. Blood routine, RBS,LFT, creatinine and platelets.2. Fasting blood lipid profile, free T4 and TSH. You may send the reports here for an expert opinion.
