Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis)
My sons kidney stones were due to high calcium levels. He is now on a diuretic and a low calcium diet. Not sure if this would work for him.
I have found that since my son does not speak doctors assume he cannot communicate. My son understands everything you say to him and communicates via some sign language and body language. I told the doctors for over a year that I believed he had kidney stones and they would not even check him. I finally took him thru emergency at another hospital and a simple xray showed a stone in the right kidney as large as the kidney itself.
He now has the ongoing infections and I am going thru the same thing with the doctors. I have found that I have to diagnos him and them convince the doctors and I have never been wrong about it.
