Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 We saw the pediatrician this am and he got a final copy of the x-ray report from the ER and stated point blank he had a kidney stone. Jake is 11. He said kidney stones in kids are unusual but more common in metabolic kids and also crohns kids - FUN FUN FUN. As jake is not in pain right now - he said hopefully it passed or he is passing it BUT if it happens once likely to happen again. So we will be following up with a renal specialist. Also he wanted me to call Clay and jakes Mito/metabolic specialist Dr. Kelley to talk to him about has he seen this in mito kids and also what type they tend to be as there are apparently 4 types of kidney stones. Also he wants him to see the renal and Dr, Kelley again soon o try to see what we can do to avoid them in the furture. Just looking for some input and if anyone has dealt with kidney stones in children. hugsSharonI ran the Marine corps marathon on 10-31-04 and I am running the Las Vegas Marathon on 1-30-05 - If you believe you can do it -- YOU CAN!!!
