Kidney Stone

Feb11,

Anda pernah jumpa batu karang sebesar ini? Macam mana la agaknya hidup dgn bende ni berada kat dlm badan dia tu..

The 1.13Kg kidney stone the size of a coconut

The largest kidney stones most doctors ever get to see is the size of a golf ball.

So surgeons in Hungary were taken aback when they removed a stone the size of a coconut

from a man earlier today. Sandor Sarkadi underwent an abdominal operation in Debrecen,

150 miles east of Budapest, after doctors discovered he had a kidney stone inside him that

was 17 centimetres in diameter.

Mr Sardaki was rushed into an operation theatre in the Kenez Gyula

Hospital when an X-ray revealed he was carrying around the gigantic lump.

The delicate procedure to remove the stone, which weighed a staggering 2.48lbs,

passed without incident. Kidney stones vary in size.

They can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball, which makes

Mr Sarkadi's stone all the more remarkable.
An X-ray earlier in the day revealed the sheer size of Mr Sardaki's stone.
