Hi, more details are required. I think your friend had a blocked kidney tube due to stones and so a tube has been put into her kidney from the flank to Chat Doctor.  This is done to reverse the kidney swelling and prevent further kidney damage due to blocked kidney tube. It is also done in case the urine in kidney is infected or pus-like (hydronephrosis or infected IN). If tube gets blocked, check that it is not getting twisted or kinked, it is not getting compressed while lying down. If still gets blocked, probably changing to a larger size tube will help. Her urologist will be the best person to help. Good luck.
