  • What are Uric Acid Stones?

    Uric acid stones are a type of kidney stones that are also considered among the most commonly found kidney stones. As the name suggests, these stones are formed due to the presence of excess uric acid in the body.

    These stones generally form due to a lack of hydration in the body. Patients who’ve had chemotherapy, weight loss surgery, or have a history of kidney stones, are also at risk of developing these stones. These stones exhibit symptoms similar to all other types of stones, and the patients may experience pain in the flank area, sides, or groin,  nausea, vomiting, fever, or blood in the urine.

    Diagnosis for Uric Acid Stones

    Before determining the best treatment option for patients, the doctors perform a thorough diagnosis to figure out the complexity of the condition. The treatment is planned based on the diagnosis. A comprehensive diagnostic procedure also helps doctors determine if the patient has an underlying health condition that may cause complications during treatment. Listed below are some commonly performed diagnostic tests before uric acid stone treatment: 

    • Blood tests: Blood tests help in detecting the levels of uric acid and calcium in the blood. In addition, blood tests can help in ruling out other underlying health conditions. 
    • Urine test: The doctor may suggest a 24-hour urine test. It will involve collecting the urine over 24 hours so your provider can test it for calcium and uric acid.
    • Imaging tests: Imaging tests such as ultrasound and CT scan are generally suggested to locate uric acid stones in the urinary tract. These imaging scans are also helpful in locating small-sized stones. 
    • Stone analysis: In this test, the doctor may ask you to urinate in a special container, which will catch any stones you pass. The stones are then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The analysis is done to assess the type of stones.

    Treatment for Uric Acid Stones

    Uric acid stones that are too small in size pass through the system on their own or with some home remedies. On the contrary, stones that are large in size require a doctor’s intervention. The doctor will run the diagnostic tests to determine the size of the stone and other factors before suggesting conservative or non-conservative treatment for your condition. Read on to find out the different treatment options for uric acid stones. 

    • Medication

    If the stones aren’t too large and the condition isn’t complex, the doctor may suggest medication. The medications are generally prescribed to manage the level of uric acid in the blood and urine, dissolve the stones, keep the urine alkaline, etc. 

    • Non-Surgical & Surgical Procedures

    When the stones don’t respond to medication, the doctor may suggest non-surgical or surgical procedures depending on the requirement of the condition. Listed below are the commonly performed procedures for uric acid stones removal: 

    • Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): This non-invasive procedure uses shockwaves to break the stones and reduce them to small fragments. The purpose is to allow the stones to pass through the system easily. This is an outpatient procedure and does not involve any incisions. 
    • Ureteroscopy: In this procedure, the doctor inserts a ureteroscope, i.e., a thin tube with a camera, into the bladder. Then, surgical equipment and a tiny stone basket are used to extract the stones. Sometimes, doctors use a laser along with the scope to break down the pieces, which are easily extractable. 
    • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL): This is a minimally-invasive surgery. In this procedure, the doctors access the stones by making an incision in the flank area. The stones are then removed with microforceps or fragmented for easy extraction.

    Recovery After Uric Acid Stones Treatment

    Recovery after uric acid stones can take from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the type of treatment you have received. Some tips can help you boost your recovery after treatment, including: 

    -Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and whole grains. You must avoid foods that are high in purine, as it is responsible for the formation of uric acid in the body. 

    -Increase your fluid intake to 8 to 10 glasses a day. You can increase it further based on your individual needs. 

    -Don’t start working out immediately after your surgery. Wait for a few days before you resume exercise or any other strenuous activity. It is best to take the doctor’s advice in this regard. 

    -If you’ve been asked to discontinue some medicine, do not resume it without asking your doctor. Additionally, take the prescribed medicines on time, and do the complete course.
