Through medical history exploitation, the patient had previously dilated kidney stones through the skin at a medical facility abroad but was unsuccessful, the stones still exist and continue to progress.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dam Van Cuong recommends that coral stones are kidney stones that develop silently, and can occupy almost the entire kidney basin system. If not treated thoroughly, patients can suffer from kidney failure, recurrent urinary tract infections, or sepsis.
In particular, people need to pay attention to going for examination early when stones relapse or have been treated in many places without recovery; have underlying diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure; or signs of infection such as fever, back pain, painful urination, cloudy urine.
Examination at a specialized medical facility helps choose appropriate treatment methods, minimize complications and preserve kidney function.
