What Are Calcium Phosphate Stones?

Calcium phosphate stones are a less common type of calcium stone found in the kidneys. These stones generally grow faster and larger compared to other types of calcium stones found in the kidneys. The cause of calcium phosphate stones isn’t known yet, but they are mostly linked to a high urine pH. 

The symptoms caused by calcium phosphate stones may include severe pain, nausea, vomiting, blood in the urine, chills, fever, etc.

Are you going through any of these symptoms?

Diagnosis Of Calcium Phosphate Stones

  • Imaging tests: Imaging tests performed before calcium phosphate stone treatment include X-ray and MRI. The purpose is to get 3D images of the stones, locate the stones in the abdomen, and determine their size. The doctor may also suggest a CT scan in some cases. 
  • Blood tests: Blood tests for calcium phosphate stones help in determining the content in the blood that may have led to their formation. The doctors generally look at the presence of phosphorus, calcium, uric acid, etc, through blood tests. 
  • Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine test: This test is performed to check the amount of nitrogen in the blood, which is generally formed due to the waste product called urea.
  • Urinalysis: This test is performed to look for crystals, bacteria, or other agents in the urine that may have caused kidney stones or associated complications.

Treatment For Calcium Phosphate Stones

Treatment for calcium phosphate stones  includes pain relievers and drinking lots of water to help pass the stone. Medical procedures may be required to remove or break up larger stones. Some treatment options include: 

Citrate therapy: This is an oral therapy that binds with calcium, and inhibits crystallization by increasing urinary citrate levels. This helps in preventing the formation of stones and even helps in curbing their growth and aggregation. 

Non Surgical Procedures

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)

ESWL is a non-surgical procedure of kidney stone removal in which an equipment called a ‘lithotripter’ is used to target the stones and break them into smaller pieces. The equipment generates shock waves, which reduce the stones into small pieces or dust, which flushes out of the system on its own. In some cases, the fragments may be removed with the help of an endoscopic procedure. This non-invasive technique is generally suggested to patients with small-sized stones.

Surgical Procedures

Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy (URSL)

When small to medium-sized stones do not respond to non-surgical treatments, the doctors may suggest ureteroscopic lithotripsy or URSL. In this minimally-invasive surgery for kidney stones, the surgeon inserts a ureteroscope into the urinary tract through the urethra to reach the kidneys. Once the stones are located, a laser is used to break the stones into smaller fragments, which can be easily flushed out of the system through urine. This minimally-invasive surgery doesn’t involve any incisions and is generally performed on an outpatient basis. 

Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)

RIRS is another minimally-invasive surgery for calcium phosphate stones treatment. In this technique, the surgeons use an optic endoscope to reach the kidneys through the urethra. Then, a laser is used to break the stones and remove them. RIRS is generally suggested when the stones are too large in size or the condition is too complex to be treated with other methods. The success rate of this treatment is quite high, and it accompanies minimal complications. 

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)

A PCNL surgery is suggested when the stones are too large or too dense and can not be treated through other, less invasive methods. In this method, a small incision is made in the flank area, and a nephroscope is inserted with X-ray guidance. It allows the surgeons to locate the stone precisely. Upon locating the stones, the surgeon uses a thin needle to access the kidney’s urine-collecting system. Then, the surgeon begins the stone-extracting process with the help of microforceps. When the stones are too large, a laser is used to reduce it to smaller pieces, which are then extracted. Finally, upon ensuring that no stones are left in the system, the surgeon closes the incisions and may even place a drainage catheter and DJ stent.

Preparing For Calcium Phosphate Stone Treatment

Before any treatment, it is always wise to be prepared. Being prepared for treatments can prevent complications during the procedure and even help patients remain calm throughout. Here’s how you can prepare for calcium phosphate treatment:

  • Make dietary modifications as per your doctor’s instructions. If you’re having surgery, avoid eating for 8 hours prior to the surgery. 
  • Inform your doctor about any medication you’re taking. Discontinue the medicines for some time before the surgery if the doctor has advised doing so. 
  • Make arrangements for commuting on the day of surgery and discharge. At Pristyn Care, we provide free pick-up and drop-off to patients on the day of the surgery.
  • Get all your queries about the procedure answered beforehand.

Recovering After Calcium Phosphate Stone Treatment

Complete recovery after calcium phosphate stone treatment can take from days to weeks, depending on the type of treatment the patient has received and their overall health. Here are some tips that can help you recover quickly after the procedure and avoid complications: 

  • Make sure you eat the right foods and consume ample fluids. Drinking enough fluids throughout the day, consistently after surgery, will allow any remaining stone fragments to flush out of the system. Ensure your diet is rich in fiber to avoid constipation. 
  • Avoid lifting heavy weights and indulging in strenuous exercise after treatment. Take your doctor’s advice before returning to your day-to-day activities. 
  • If you’ve had a PCNL surgery, make sure you take care of the incision site to prevent infections. You must get your dressing changed as directed by the doctor. 
  • If you experience any discomfort, or notice any abnormal symptoms post-surgery, contact the doctor immediately. 

Benefits Of Calcium Phosphate Stones Treatment

Getting treatment for calcium phosphate stones in time can benefit you in multiple ways. Some benefits of getting treatment for calcium phosphate stones are as follows:

  • Prevention from potential complications such as loss of kidney function, kidney and bladder damage, etc. 
  • Improved quality of life of the patient. 
  • Minimally-invasive treatments that alleviate symptoms without complications, and have a shorter recovery period. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Does insurance cover the cost of calcium phosphate stones treatment?

If calcium phosphate treatment is medically necessary, i.e., essential to prevent potential complications, it is covered under both health insurance and mediclaim policies. The coverage provided by both these plans generally differs. Additionally, the coverage you’ll receive may also differ depending on your insurance provider and the specifics of your policy. Reach out to your insurance provider in this regard, and obtain clarity on the coverage, terms and conditions, and insurance claim procedure to avoid last-minute hassle. 

What is the cost of calcium phosphate stones treatment in India?

The cost of calcium phosphate stones treatment in India varies depending on various factors, including the part of the country you’re seeking treatment in, your choice of hospital, doctor, etc. Listed below is a cost estimate of the most commonly performed procedures for kidney stones removal: 

  • ESWL- Rs. 40,000 – Rs. 50,000
  • PCNL- Rs. 65,000 – Rs. 75,000
  • RIRS- Rs. 95,000 – Rs. 1,05,000
  • URSL- Rs. 40,000 – Rs. 65,000

What are the leading causes of calcium phosphate stones?

Calcium phosphate stones generally occur due to hyperparathyroidism i..e, a condition involving high parathyroid hormone production. In addition, renal tuber acidosis, which involves a build-up of acid in the body, and urinary tract infections can also cause calcium phosphate stones. 

How harmful are calcium phosphate stones?

Calcium phosphate stones are less common than calcium oxalate stones and tend to grow faster compared to the latter. Therefore, they can cause more damage to the tissues. In more serious cases, loss of kidney function or complete kidney failure can also occur. 

How to prevent calcium phosphate stones?

To prevent calcium phosphate stones while maintaining strong bones, you must try to get your calcium from plant-based sources such as calcium-based juices, bread, cereals, etc. Also, you must monitor your sugar and sodium intake and drink enough fluids throughout the day on a regular basis. 

Does calcium phosphate stones treatment require a hospital stay?

It depends. In general, most kidney stone procedures are performed on an outpatient basis or require a day’s stay. However, the discharge is only given after assessing the patient’s overall health. If there are complications after treatment, or the doctor suspects that the patient isn’t fit to return home, you may be asked to stay in the hospital for longer. 

What are the complications of leaving kidney stones untreated?

Kidney stones, typically, aren’t very dangerous and flush out of the system naturally. But, sometimes, they can grow in size and may cause various complications. Some common complications caused by kidney stones include: 

  • Hydronephrosis
  • Renal scarring and damage to the kidneys 
  • Loss of kidney function
  • Bladder blockage
  • Severe blood infection or septicemia
