What do I take to my AME exam if I have or have had kidney stones?
According to the FAA AME Guide, if you have a history of kidney stones, the information you need to provide to your Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) will vary based on how long ago your most recent episode was and complications. See Kidney Stone(s) (Nephrolithiasis, Renal Calculi) or Renal Colic
If you had a kidney stone within the past 5 years with no complications you will need:
- A detailed clinical progress note from your treating physician regarding your history of kidney stone(s). The progress note should address all items on the CACI worksheet. You may want to bring a copy to your physician. CACI – Retained Kidney Stone(s) Worksheet
