Advanced Treatment for 11 mm Kidney Stone

A kidney stone is considered large when its size is 5 mm or more. Because of the large size, these stones often get stuck in the urinary tract and cause extreme pain in the back and abdomen. In most people, kidney stones grow silently without causing any painful signs until they become large enough and suddenly exhibit severe pain. In some cases, medications can help to alleviate the symptoms and provide relief. However, it may not be a viable treatment option for a kidney stone of 11 mm size. If you have 11 mm kidney stones and you wish to get best-in-class treatment, contact Pristyn Care. You can consult our urology experts and discuss the best treatment option.

Kidney Stone Diagnosis & Treatment

Diagnosis

If you have symptoms of a kidney stone, your urologist may perform the following diagnostic tests to confirm the presence of kidney stones and draft a treatment plan:

  • Blood and urine tests: Blood tests help assess the calcium and uric acid levels in the blood, which helps evaluate the health of the kidneys. A 24-hour urine collection test examines the components of the urine for stone-forming minerals and stone-preventing substances.
  • Imaging tests: Imaging tests like CT scans, abdominal X-rays, and ultrasounds help reveal the size and location of kidney stones.
  • Stone analysis: Often, large kidney stones are associated with small kidney stones. If you collect your urine and pass it through a strainer, you can obtain small renal stones and send them to the lab for analysis.

Surgery

For a kidney stone, you may need one of the following treatments:

  • ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) is a common noninvasive treatment in which shock waves like X-rays or ultrasounds are used to break down stones in the urinary system, pancreas, or bile ducts.
  • RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is an endoscopic surgery in which the surgeon uses a fiberoptic endoscope and a ureteroscope to locate and remove renal stones from kidneys or ureters.
  • Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is performed to remove a kidney or upper ureter stones that are too large to be dissolved through ESWL or URSL.
  • In Ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL), the surgeon inserts a ureteroscope through the urethra to locate the stones, and then the stones are destroyed using shock waves. A urethral stent may be placed at the end of the surgery to keep the ureter open after the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is having an 11 mm kidney stone dangerous?

A 11 mm kidney stone is not a dangerous condition, provided you get treated on time. Having kidney stones significantly increases the risk of developing chronic kidney disease. If not treated, the stone can block the ureter, cause infection, and other serious problems. That’s why it is crucial to see a doctor right away.

Can you pass an 11 mm kidney stone?

Usually, stones that are smaller than 10 mm have a chance of passing through the urinary tract. However, an 11 mm kidney stone may not pass, and you’ll need medication or other treatments.

What size of kidney stone requires surgery?

Surgery is often recommended for the removal of kidney stones that are larger than 5 mm. Typically, surgical removal of kidney stones is required when conservative methods of kidney stones treatment fail. The urologist will use the most suitable method for the stone removal.

What is the most effective way to remove an 11 mm kidney stone?

The most effective and commonly performed medical procedure for kidney stones is Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL). This method involves using high-energy shock waves to break the stones into little pieces so that they can pass through the urinary tract easily.
