Advanced Treatment for 6.7 mm Kidney Stone

Kidney stones also known as nephrolith or renal calculi is a common ailment of the kidneys that can cause a lot of discomfort. These stones are made of minerals and salts and are hard in nature. Typically, kidney stones cause little to no discomfort and vanish on their own. However, stones larger than 5 mm in size require medical management. A 6.7 mm kidney stone may or may not clear out on its own. Therefore, we suggest seeking medical attention. If you're seeking quality treatment for 6.7 mm kidney stones, get in touch with the urologists at Pristyn Care. Our doctors have years of experience in diagnosing and treating kidney stone issues and would offer the most suitable treatment for you.

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.

What can help 6.7 mm stone pass easily? 

Passing a 6.7 mm kidney stone naturally can be incredibly painful. Therefore, medical intervention is important. The doctor will prescribe some medicines including alpha-blockers, that will relax and expand the muscles of the ureter to let the stones flush out smoothly. 
In cases where the kidney stone refuses to respond to medicines, the doctors might suggest surgical methods of extraction including Lithotripsy or ESWL, Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy or PCNL, Retrograde intrarenal surgery or RIRS, and Ureteroscopy and laser stone fragmentation or URSL.
