What is Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are solid formations made of minerals and salts that develop in the kidneys. They vary in size and can obstruct the urinary tract, causing severe pain. Common types include calcium oxalate, uric acid, and struvite stones. Symptoms may not appear until the stone moves into the ureter, leading to intense pain, nausea, and urinary issues. While some stones pass naturally, larger ones may require medical intervention, including medications, lithotripsy, or surgery. Proper hydration and dietary adjustments can help prevent their recurrence.

Causes of Kidney Stones

Kidney stones form due to the accumulation of substances like calcium, oxalate, and uric acid in the urine. Dehydration is a significant factor, as concentrated urine increases mineral crystallization. A diet high in sodium, protein, or sugar can also contribute to stone formation. Genetic predisposition, obesity, and certain medical conditions like hyperparathyroidism or chronic UTIs further increase the risk. Medications such as diuretics and antacids may also influence stone development. Lifestyle changes, including proper hydration and dietary modifications, can help reduce the likelihood of kidney stone formation.

Diagnosis of Kidney Stones

Diagnosing kidney stones involves medical history evaluation, physical examinations, and imaging tests. Doctors often begin with urine and blood tests to check for excess minerals or infections. Imaging techniques like X-rays, ultrasounds, or CT scans help locate and determine the size of the stones. In some cases, a 24-hour urine test is conducted to identify mineral imbalances. Once diagnosed, treatment is planned based on stone size, type, and location. Early detection is key to preventing complications, ensuring proper management, and reducing pain and discomfort.

Symptoms of Kidney Stones

The most common symptom is severe pain in the lower back or sides, often radiating to the groin. Other signs include blood in the urine, frequent urination, and burning sensations while urinating. Nausea, vomiting, and fever may indicate an infection due to a blocked urinary tract. Some stones remain asymptomatic until they move through the urinary system. If symptoms persist or intensify, immediate medical attention is necessary to prevent complications such as kidney infections or damage.

Treatment of Kidney Stones

Treatment depends on stone size and severity of symptoms. Small stones often pass naturally with increased fluid intake and pain management. Larger stones may require medical procedures such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) to break them into smaller pieces. Ureteroscopy is another option where a thin tube removes or breaks the stones. Severe cases may need surgical intervention. Medications, dietary changes, and hydration play a crucial role in preventing recurrence. Consulting a specialist ensures proper treatment and long-term kidney health.

When to See the Doctor?
