Symptoms and Signs of kidney stone
If you have a larger kidney stone, you may notice any of the following symptoms:
- No symptoms if stones are small and lying inside the kidney without causing any obstruction to the flow of urine
- Pain – Usually in the flank
- Blood in urine
- Nausea and vomiting
Types
- Calcium – most common – made of calcium and oxalate or phosphate
- Uric acid – when urine is too acidic.
- Struvite – by urinary tract infections in which bacteria make ammonia
- Cystine – rare – happens in people who have a genetic disorder that causes cystine to leak into urine
Kidney stones can be very small to almost entirely fill up the kidney. Kidney stones can slip into the ureter and get stuck inside it or may pass further into the urinary bladder. Some small stones may pass out through urine. A moving stone or a stone that causes obstruction to the flow of urine usually causes severe pain.

Treatment of Kindey Removal
- Small stones – Plenty of fluids and painkillers (if there is pain) may push the stone out of the urinary system. Large stones or if small but not getting flushed out and causing obstruction – Some type of surgical treatment may be necessary.
- Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) – uses ultrasonic shock waves to break stones into small fragments to let them pass through the urinary system. One sitting may take 45 to 60 minutes and may need repeated sittings.
- PerCutaneous NephroLithotomy (PCNL) – a tube is inserted directly into the kidney to remove the stone. This has replaced large incisions which used to be used for kidney stones in the past. A small cut of about 1 cm is usually enough for this procedure and hospital stay is just 1 to 3 days. Recovery is very fast and pain very less.
Prevention
The best way is to drink enough liquids every day (8 to 12 cups). Once the stone is removed, its examination in the laboratory can tell which type of stone it is and the doctor may recommend a specific diet for the same.
