Hi,

Thank you for submitting your question.

A phlebolith is a small area of calcium deposits within a vein. These are very common in the veins of the lower part of the pelvis, and they are of no clinical importance.

The calcified irregular shaped denisities in the right kidney most likely represent small kidney stones..

As you mentioned, topamax has been shown to increase kidney stone formation. Topamax appears to inhibit the body's natural ability to excrete calcium. As a result, calcium accumulates in the kidneys and form stones.

It sounds like you do not have any symptoms at this point. I would urge that you talk to your doctor about using a different medication for epilepsy. If the stones become larger, they can cause painful symptoms as well as affect your kidney function. Your doctor may also want to do a blood test to check your blood calcium level.

Meanwhile you should keep yourself well-hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids.

Studies have shown that drinking lemonade can be helpful in dissolving kidney stones. Lemonade increases the levels of citrate in your urine, and citrate helps prevent stone formation.

 

I hope this answers your question.
