Kidney Stone Diagnosis & Treatment
If your symptoms indicate the presence of kidney stones, the urologist may ask you to undergo diagnostic tests to confirm your case and recommend a proper treatment plan.
Blood tests – To determine calcium and uric acid levels to check overall kidney health.
Urine test – A 24-hour urine culture is done to find out if there is any kidney or urinary infection.
Imaging tests – CT scans, ultrasounds, and MRIs allow the doctor to assess the size and location of kidney stone in the urinary tract
A 5.6 mm kidney stone requires surgery to be removed. The following are some of the surgical options for kidney stones out of which the kidney stone doctor would determine the best procedure after diagnosing the condition.
ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy): It is a non-invasive surgery involving the usage of high-intensity sound waves which are directed to disintegrate kidney stones into tiny fragments that can further pass out with urine. Doctors recommend ESWL when oral medication is ineffective and is suitable for 6-8 mm kidney stones.
Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy (URSL): It is an advanced procedure to remove kidney stones that are not dissolved by non-surgical treatment. In URSL, the surgeon uses an exact laser treatment to remove the kidney stone lodged in the ureter. It is recommended for kidney stones of 7-10 mm.
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS): This advanced surgical technique removes moderate to large kidney stones (up to 14 mm). This method is preferred to break stones lodged inside the kidney, ureter, or urinary bladder. In RIRS, the surgeon uses a ureteroscope to remove kidney stones with negligible risks.
PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy): It is a minimally invasive technique preferred to remove large stones in the kidneys or upper ureter. In PCNL, the surgeon makes a minor incision that enables the doctor to break stones into smaller fragments. This procedure is performed for kidney stones of 16 to 20 mm.

A 5.6 mm kidney stone cannot be dissolved through oral medication. If you have been diagnosed with a 5.6 mm kidney stone, immediately consult a urologist. Surgical treatment is necessary to get rid of kidney stones permanently. To book an appointment with an experienced urologist, contact Pristyn Care.
It is not advised to delay treatment for a 5.6 mm kidney stone. A 5.6 mm kidney stone can cause severe pain, discomfort, and other complications like blood in the urine. Thus, it is necessary to get immediate medical attention to prevent life-threatening complications.
Generally, it takes 2-4 weeks to recover from kidney stone removal surgery fully. The recovery period is short and smooth for minimally to non-invasive surgeries; however, it may take more than four weeks to recover from open kidney stone surgery.
A urologist may recommend a kidney stone removal operation if it is larger than 5 mm and is causing frequent severe pain. Furthermore, immediate surgery is necessary if the stone gets stuck in the ureter. If the surgery is delayed in either scenario, it may increase the chances of complications like renal scarring, swollen kidney, and even renal failure.
