Diagnosis and treatment of kidney stones

Diagnosis

Kidney stones, or renal stones, are diagnosed using the following tests:

  • Blood tests: Blood tests are necessary to assess the calcium and uric acid levels in the blood. These tests also help assess kidney health and help determine the cause of kidney stones.Urine tests: Generally, a 24-hour urine collection test is performed to assess if the patient’s urine contains any excess or lack of
  • stone-forming/preventing substances. In some cases, the doctor may request urine collection over a period of 2 days for better samples.
  • Imaging tests: Imaging tests like ultrasounds and high contrast CT scans help find out the exact number and location of kidney stones, which helps the urologist in planning the best course of treatment for the patient.
  • Kidney stone analysis: In patients with a large number of stones, it is common to pass small stones with urine. You can use a strainer to catch the stones, and lab analysis of these stones can indicate the etiology of the condition.

Treatment procedures

Based on the location and number of stones, their etiology, etc., there are different treatment procedures that the doctor can adopt to eliminate the stones effectively. Common treatment procedures for kidney stones are:

  • ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy): It is a non-invasive procedure that is very effective in breaking down stones in parts of the urinary system, pancreas, and bile ducts. In this procedure, shockwaves are guided using an X-ray and as they reach the stones, they break them down, which makes it easier for them to pass. Kidney and ureter stone fragments pass through the urine while bile duct and pancreatic stones are removed using an endoscope.
  • URSL (Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy): Ureteroscopic laser stone fragmentation procedure is performed using a ureteroscope. The scope is passed through the urethra and bladder to the ureter. Once the stone is located, it is broken down using shockwaves or a laser. The scope is also used to place a stent in the ureter to keep the ureter open and prevent swelling. It is best performed for kidney, gallbladder, or ureter stones.
  • RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery): It is a minimally invasive surgery for kidney stone removal using a fiberoptic endoscope and a laser without making any incisions on the kidney. It is performed under either local, spinal, or general anesthesia. It is usually performed if lithotripsy treatments have been ineffective or if the patient’s kidney has strictures or tumors.
  • PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy): The procedure is used to remove kidney stones by creating a passageway from the skin on the back to the kidney. It is performed for larger stones when lesser invasive procedures have proven ineffective.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are kidney stones a serious issue?

Small kidney stones often pass on their own while urinating, but large stones can get stuck and lead to severe pain and bleeding. Symptomatic kidney stones need to be treated without delay to prevent irreversible kidney damage.

What is the cost of kidney stone surgery in Bangladesh?

The estimated cost of kidney stone operation in Bangladesh is from ৳ 55000 to ৳ 80000. However, this depends on the medical condition of the patient. Get in touch with us and meet the best Urologist in Bangladesh.

Can kidney stones cause sexual problems?

Yes. Patients with kidney and bladder stones show a high incidence of erectile and sexual dysfunction. Loss of sex drive and impotence are common in patients with large kidney stones and renal damage. However, since kidney stones do not actually affect sperm production or passage, asymptomatic or small kidney stones do not cause any sexual problems.

Can kidney stones cause urinary tract infections?

People with urinary tract blockages are more likely to get urinary tract infections as kidney stones block urine passage and cause a buildup of toxic substances in the blood. Moreover, the relationship is inverted as well, i.e., people with frequent UTIs are more likely to develop kidney stones as well.

Do kidney stones result in digestive issues?

Kidney stones often result in gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, stomach discomfort, etc. This is because kidneys and the GI tract share the same nerve connections, and discomfort from one can transfer to the other.

Can kidney stones dissolve on their own?

Kidney stones are often made of salts and minerals, so for small or asymptomatic stones, the patient can take certain medicines which will promote their dissolution. Small stones can even pass naturally without any pain or discomfort.

Can smoking or alcohol consumption result in kidney stone formation?

Various research studies have confirmed that smoking and drinking alcohol can increase the chances of kidney stone formation, especially in women. Therefore, most doctors recommend patients with kidney stones cease smoking and alcohol consumption immediately.

How to Prevent Kidney Stones

You can prevent kidney stone formation by following the given tips:

  • Stay well hydrated: Drink lots of water to maintain your urinary output. Low urine output is a sign of concentrated urine which is less likely to dissolve urine salts that form kidney stones. In addition to water, you can add electrolytes, fruit juices, lemonade, etc., to your diet.
  • Eat calcium-rich foods: Contrary to popular opinion, calcium does not help kidney stone formation normally. In fact, a low calcium diet can even worsen the problem by leading to osteoporosis. To avoid calcium supplements from contributing to kidney stones, you should take them with your food or add low-fat milk, cheese, or yogurt to your diet.
  • Decrease your sodium intake: High sodium levels in the blood prevent calcium reabsorption from urine to blood and increase kidney stone formation. Avoid processed or canned foods, condiments, etc.
  • Decrease intake of oxalate-rich foods: Oxalate help urine bind with calcium to form kidney stones. Limit consumption of oxalate-rich foods like spinach, chocolate, sweet potato, peanuts, coffee, etc.
  • Limit consumption of animal proteins: Limit or completely avoid consumption of animal proteins like beef, poultry, fish, pork, etc.
  • Avoid Vitamin C supplements: Vitamin C supplements can double the risk of kidney stone formation, especially in men.
  • Try herbal and ayurvedic remedies: Various herbal remedies, like Chanca Piedra, etc., have proven successful in dissolving kidney stones without any side effects. Explore other treatment options.
  • Talk to your doctor about your medicines: Some medicines, like decongestants, diuretics, anticonvulsants, steroids, etc., can result in kidney stones. So, consult your doctor regarding your medicines and change them if you need to. If you have risk factors for kidney stones, you should talk to your doctor about taking preventive measures.

What are the stages of passing a kidney stone?

The time to pass a kidney stone depends on the size of the stone. Generally, small stones pass within 1-2 weeks, but large stones can take up to 4 weeks to completely pass. There are 4 stages that occur when passing a kidney stone:

  • Stage 1: During this stage, the stone passes through the kidney. There may be severe pain in the back and side that may last for a long time and or occur in waves.
  • Stage 2: During Stage 2, the stone enters the ureter. The degree and amount of pain during this period depends on the size of the stone.
  • Stage 3: The pain usually subsides completely when the stone reaches the bladder. The urge and urinary pressure increase at this time, especially if the stone gets stuck in the urethra, which completely blocks the flow of urine.
  • Stage 4: During the final stage, the stone reaches the urethra, and you need to pass the stone with the urine through the urethral opening.
