My Brother has a *7.1 mm kidney stone in the right ureter* that's causing mild swelling of the kidney (hydroureteronephrosis). This stone is triggering inflammation in his body, which is why his blood work shows elevated neutrophils (80.1), high monocytes (25.0), and elevated ESR (28.0)—his immune system is actively responding to the inflammation from the stone.
It’s essential that your brother consults a urologist promptly, as a ureteric obstruction with inflammation can progress to infection or kidney damage if not treated in time. He should avoid taking any medications on his own, as self-medication may worsen the condition.
