my friend wont operate

[Algis]

hello, my friend female who is 14 years old and is like a little sister for me has 6 stones in her kindey and after spending some time in the hospital ( due to strong pain ) it got better, so she was checked out. Now she is refusing to have the operation to remove them, I am not sure if it is serious, but I red the doctor report it said there are 6 stones one of them is 16mm big, 9mm big and others were in between 2-4mm's. How is that serious? how can I make my friend take the operation? she tells me it didn't hurt anymore, but when I was visiting her and at night when we slept she started moaning ( pain moaning ) she started to bend in to a baby form ( how babies are show in a womans bellies, sorry my Englis isn't perfect ) and keep restless moaning for a few hours, I tried waking her up and asking what's wrong, but when she woke up she said it's nothing, just a bad dream when I obviously saw she was lying. It's not like I am her parent or even a real brother, I can't FORCE her to take the operation, the mother says that she is refusing to as well and that she never noticed her having strong pains. I am extremely worried about her, she is one of the people left that I extremely care about. She didn't have any problems before that ( at least ones I know of ) she doesn't smoke, drink, but her mother smokes so sometimes she gets the second-hand smoking, but the mother avoids to. If it matters she's the first out of 3 children of the family. She's 157cm high and weights around 50ish kg's ( she has big breasts and bottom for her age if that matters ).

thank you for your time, waiting for an answer.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Besides the pain, the stones can block the a single or multiple out flow tracts, leading to hydroneohrosis, which is ballooning of the collecting system. This in turn can compress on the kidney and compromise the kidneys. Also, there are increased chances of infections. So, adhere to therapy to prevent these complications.


Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Hi,  if you are accurate in the dimensions of these stones they can actually become life threatening!  Please please have her see a doctor and do whatever needs to be done if, indeed, they are > 1.0 cm as indicated ... and the other almost a cm  ( 16mm big, 9mm  ) .. From what I've read, smaller stones (those less than 5.0 mm) will pass on their own usually and for me that has been the case.

A large stone like those two can block and cause sepsis just to name one life threatening complication.

I am not a doctor, just a patient with a lot of kidney stones and a mom who almost died from sepsis (blood poisoning) from a large stone she never knew she had.

Keep us posted... I am not sure why they seem to be in denial about this ?

Best,
