kidney stone

[Cookiebaker]

Is it common for MPN patients to have kidney stones? I had one last week . So painful. I had never had one before and am 73 .

I had not heard of a link between MPN an kidney stones but did find this potential link.

While HU can cause renal impairment, I have not heard of it causing kidney stones. HU can raise Uric Acid levels so perhaps there is a link.

Suggest you review your question with a MPN Specialist.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I am going to see a new doctor next month and will inquire. You are so good about helping all of us Hunter with questions. Your wisdom is appreciated.

I'm on my 4th bout of kidney stones, however my WBC and platelets are low.
