5 mm Kidney Stone Treatment

Kidney stones are hard crystals formed from excessive minerals and salts present in the urine. Usually, a kidney stone that is less than or up to 5 mm in size can flush out from the body without causing excruciating pain. But, when left untreated for a long time, the stone may grow in size, increase the chances of complications, and no longer be able to pass through the urinary tract. For patients diagnosed with a 5 mm kidney stone and who are searching for advanced treatment and care, Pristyn Care is a good treatment option. All our urologists are highly qualified and well-trained to perform advanced kidney stone removal treatments. Schedule your free consultation with our kidney stone specialists now.

Kidney Stone Diagnosis & Treatment

Diagnosis

Kidney stone diagnosis includes a physical examination along with the following tests:

  • Blood test: A blood test helps check the amount of calcium and uric acid in the body. The test also helps in evaluating overall kidney health. 
  • Screening tests: X-ray, ultrasound, and CT scan are performed to examine the current condition and location of the 5 mm kidney stone.
  • Urine test- This test is performed to check if there is a urinary infection caused due to kidney stone.

 

Surgery

A 5 mm kidney stone does not need surgical removal unless it gets stuck in the ureter and causes excruciating pain. In such a case, any of the following advanced surgeries can be performed:

  • ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy): In this technique, the doctor uses shock waves to break the kidney stone into smaller fragments that can easily pass out with urine.
  • Lithotripsy (Ureteroscopy): The surgeon passes a ureteroscope through the urethra into the ureter to break down 5 mm kidney stones with laser energy. 
  • RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery): In this procedure, a flexible ureteroscope is placed inside the kidney to remove a 5 mm stone in the kidney or upper ureter.
  • PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy): In this advanced, minimally invasive technique, the 5 mm kidney stone is removed by making a minor incision in the lower abdomen.

What happens if you avoid kidney stone treatment?

 

Many people delay kidney stone treatment without realizing the risks and complications they may face by doing so. Untreated kidney stones may lead to conditions like hydronephrosis, where the kidney becomes swollen due to urine accumulation. Kidney stone obstructs the urine flow and leads to urine retention in the kidneys, triggering kidney infections. Untreated kidney stones can also clog the ureters, affecting the passage of urine. Chronic kidney stones can also cause fever, chills, and blood in urine which can be highly dangerous.
