A 0.9 cm kidney stone can be dangerous because it may obstruct the urinary tract, leading to hydronephrosis, which is the swelling of the kidney due to a build-up of urine. This obstruction can cause severe pain, infection, and damage to kidney tissue if not treated promptly. Additionally, larger stones can be more difficult to pass, increasing the risk of complications. Regular monitoring and potential medical intervention are essential to prevent serious harm to kidney function.
A 2 cm x 2 cm kidney stone is approximately the size of a large marble or a small grape. It is considered relatively large for a kidney stone, as most stones are typically smaller than 1 cm. Such a size can potentially cause significant pain and complications, often requiring medical intervention for removal or management.
Ask a doctor to be sure - but I would guess it is not dangerous in itself, but it may be a symptom of some health problem.
