What are Kidney Stones?

Deposits of minerals and salts that consolidate, forming hard substances in the kidneys are called kidney stones. Kidney stones can range in size from a tiny speck to a ball. Larger kidney stones require immediate medical diagnosis and treatment because they don't dissolve on their own. While kidney stones can occur at any age, they are more common in men in their forties and fifties. To lower the risk of complications like the risk of severely injuring the surrounding organs or obstructing urine flow, renal calculi must be treated immediately.

Identifying the signs of Kidney Stone

Excruciating pain clinically known as renal colic

Blood in the urine (red, pink, or brown urine)

Discoloured and foul-smelling urine.

Nausea, fever with chills

Understanding the causes of Kidney Stone

When the volume of hazardous waste in the urine exceeds the volume of fluid in the bladder, pelvic ureteric junction and ureter, kidney stones develop.

Here are some factors that increase the risk of kidney stones:

Very low fluid intake results in more concentrated urine, leading to the accumulation of minerals and the formation of kidney stones

A high animal protein diet, and high calcium intake also contribute to increasing the risk of kidney stones

Types of Kidney Stones

These are the most common types of kidney stones. These develop when the urine has high levels of calcium, oxalate, or uric acid but low levels of citrate. Oxalates are a chemical that is present in both plants and animals naturally. Beets, black tea, chocolate, almonds, potatoes, and spinach are a few of the foods high in oxalates.

Kidney stones made of calcium phosphate are caused by malfunctions in the urinary system. This form of stone, which frequently develops along with calcium oxalate stones, may be caused by urinary or renal issues. To rule out these possibilities, your kidney stone doctor may prescribe a number of blood and urine tests.

Struvite stones develop as a result of some particular kinds of urinary tract infections, and they are more common in women. These stones frequently develop, grow large, and occasionally take up the entire kidney. They can result in recurrent, occasionally severe urinary tract infections as well as renal damage if left untreated.

Uric acid stones more frequently occur in men than in women who don't drink enough water or who consume a lot of animal proteins. Additionally, they are more likely to develop in patients with gout, who have a family history of these kidney stones, or who have undergone chemotherapy.

Cystine stones are brought on by cystinuria, a genetic condition that runs in families and can result in an overabundance of the amino acid cystine accumulating in the urine. As a result, stones may develop in the ureters, the kidney or the bladder.

Kidney Stone Facts

Mykare Health is committed to providing hassle-free kidney stone removal surgeries in the best facilities with individualized care. It is a patient-centered, technology-driven healthcare service provider. Consult our skilled urology surgeons in Bangalore to choose a stress-free, cost-effective, highly advanced kidney stone removal technique before it worsens. Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery : The cutting-edge procedure known as RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is used to treat kidney stones that are 8 mm to 15 mm in size. The anaesthesia professional will first administer a spinal or general anaesthetic based on the patient's request for kidney stone painless treatment. Under spinal anaesthesia, the patient is numb below the waist while undergoing kidney stone surgery. While under general anaesthesia, the patient is fully unconscious. The urologist then uses an endoscope that is flexible and thin with a tiny laser on the other end. The kidney stone surgeon navigates the patient's body to find the stones using imaging methods. The stones are extracted with forceps, and after being divided into smaller pieces with microscopic lasers, they are removed. Following that, the stone particles are eliminated by the urine. Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy : Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy, often known as ESWL, is a type of shockwave lithotripsy. The doctor uses external shock waves to break down the kidney stone into tiny bits during this minimally invasive technique. A spinal anaesthetic is administered to the patient to lessen the pain after the stones are expelled from the body. It may take several sessions of the conventional technique, ESWL, to completely remove the stones. Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy : A minimally invasive treatment for treating kidney stones greater than 15 mm in diameter is called Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL). It is sometimes known as "tunnel surgery" because of the microscopic incisions. Before the surgery, the anesthesiologist administers a general anaesthetic to ensure a pain-free procedure. The patient will not be conscious during the surgery. The kidney stone surgeon will then make a 1 cm incision on the flank (lower back area). The kidney stone surgeon locates the stones and breaks them up using a nephroscope. The stone can either be flushed out in its whole or, if it is too large, it can be broken up into smaller pieces. Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy : The patient receives a spinal or general anaesthetic during URSL (Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy). A ureteroscope, a small tube with a camera and laser on the other end, is then inserted into the ureter by the kidney stone surgeon. The stones are located by the camera, and the laser then breaks them into smaller pieces.These are then flushed out while urinating. The urologist inserts stents into the ureter to widen the ureter opening and make it easier for stones to flow through.

You will have to undergo several tests to help your kidney stone doctor get a clear picture of your overall health. They include:

Blood tests
KUB X-ray (Kidney, ureter, bladder)
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
Ultrasonography
A CT scan or MRI gives a clear picture of the abdomen and pelvic tissues.

People between the ages of 20 and 50 are most susceptible to kidney stones.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) states that men are more likely than women to develop kidney stones.
Due to the fact that kidney stone occurrence runs in families, genetics may potentially be a factor.
Dehydration, obesity, a diet high in protein, salt, or glucose, hyperparathyroidism, gastric bypass surgery, inflammatory bowel illnesses that enhance calcium absorption, and taking certain medications are some of the additional risk factors.
Consumption of medication such as triamterene diuretics, antiseizure drugs, and calcium-based antacids increases inflammatory bowel diseases.
