Kidney Stones

Kidney stones form when minerals and salts in the urine combine to create solid crystals. Under normal conditions, these deposits pass easily through urine. However, if urine volume is low, minerals become concentrated, crystalize, and form stones that may be difficult or painful to pass.

Stone-forming substances include:

  • Calcium
  • Oxalate
  • Uric acid
  • Phosphate
  • Cystine (rare)
  • Xanthine (rare)

Small stones (<4 mm) often pass naturally through urine without symptoms.

Larger stones (>4 mm) can obstruct the urinary tract and cause severe flank/back pain, vomiting, fever, and swelling of the kidney. These stones usually require laser-based surgical removal.

Treatment options depend on stone size and location and may include:

  • PCNL / RIRS / ESWL – Laser-based kidney stone treatments
  • URSL – Laser ureteric stone removal
  • CLT (Cystolithotripsy) – For bladder or urethral stones

Kidney stones, medically known as nephrolithiasis, often cause intense abdominal or back pain, blood in urine, and pain while urinating. Factors like dehydration, genetics, and certain diets increase risk. Early diagnosis and personalized treatment are crucial, especially for those seeking the best kidney stone treatment in Hyderabad. Preventive strategies such as proper hydration and a stone-specific diet are essential.

What are the Causes of Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones develop when minerals and salts in the urine accumulate and crystallize. Understanding these causes can help with prevention and early management.

💧 Dehydration

Low water intake leads to concentrated urine, increasing the chances of mineral crystallization and stone formation. Staying hydrated helps flush out excess minerals.

🧂 High-Sodium & Protein-Rich Diet

A diet high in sodium, animal protein, and sugars disrupts mineral balance in urine. Processed food, red meat, and sugary drinks increase stone risk.

⚖️ Obesity & Weight Gain

Excess body weight, especially around the abdomen, alters urine composition, making stone formation more likely. A healthy weight reduces this risk.

🩺 Medical Conditions

  • Renal Tubular Acidosis
  • Hyperparathyroidism (high calcium in urine)
  • Cystinuria (genetic high cystine levels)
  • Recurrent UTIs leading to stone formation

💊 Medications & Supplements

Excess intake of Vitamin C, calcium antacids, laxatives, and supplements increases mineral levels in urine and may trigger stone formation.

What are the symptoms of kidney stones?

Kidney stones can cause various symptoms, including:

  • Severe pain: This is typically felt in the back or side below the ribs, and it can radiate to the lower abdomen and groin. The pain can come in waves and be intense.
  • Painful urination: You might experience discomfort or a burning sensation when urinating.
  • Urinary urgency and frequency: You may feel the need to urinate more often than usual, and you might have to urinate in smaller amounts.
  • Blood in the urine: The urine might be pink, red, or brown due to the presence of blood.
  • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine: The urine might appear cloudy or have an unpleasant odor.
  • Nausea and vomiting: Some people with kidney stones experience nausea and vomiting, especially if the pain is severe.
  • Fever and chills: In some cases, kidney stones can lead to infection, which may cause fever and chills.

If you experience severe pain or any of these symptoms, it's important to seek medical attention.

How do we diagnose kidney stones?

Doctors use a combination of laboratory tests and advanced imaging to diagnose kidney stones accurately. These methods identify the stone’s size, location, and cause.

🩸 Blood Tests

Blood tests such as CBC help check for infections, while serum creatinine assesses kidney function. High calcium or uric acid levels may indicate stone risk.

🧪 Complete Urine Analysis (CUE)

A urine test checks for infections and identifies minerals that form stones. A 24-hour urine test measures calcium, oxalate, uric acid, and phosphate levels to detect abnormalities.

🖥️ Imaging Tests

CT-KUB (CT scan) is the most accurate test to detect even tiny stones.
Ultrasound is quick and noninvasive, ideal for identifying kidney stones.
X-ray (KUB X-ray) may miss small stones and cannot detect all stone types.

These diagnostic techniques help in planning the best treatment for kidney stones.

How do we diagnose kidney stones

What is the treatment of kidney stones?

The treatment of kidney stones depends on their size and location. Below are the commonly recommended treatments:

Observation

Small stones (< 4mm) often pass naturally through urine without active treatment.

Medications

  • Pain relievers (Paracetamol, IV analgesics)
  • Antiemetics (Ondansetron for nausea)
