What are Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are formed when deposits of minerals and salts consolidate, creating solid substances within the kidneys. Kidney stones can vary in size, ranging from a small speck to a ball. Bigger kidney stones need immediate medical attention and treatment as they cannot dissolve by themselves. Although kidney stones can develop at any age, they tend to be more prevalent among men in their forties and fifties. In order to reduce the chances of complications such as severe injury to nearby organs or the blockage of urine flow, it is necessary to quickly treat renal calculi.

Identifying the signs of Kidney Stone

Severe pain medically termed renal colic

Urine with blood (red, pink, or brown)

Urine that looks strange and smells bad

Feeling nauseous, having a fever, and chills

Frequent urge to urinate in small amounts

Understanding the causes of Kidney Stone

Kidney stones form when the amount of dangerous waste in the urine is higher than the volume of fluid in the bladder, pelvic ureteric junction, and ureter.

These are a few factors that raise the risk of kidney stones:

Very little fluid intake causes urine to become more concentrated. This can lead to minerals building up and kidney stone formation.
A high animal protein diet, and high calcium intake also contribute to increasing the risk of kidney stones.
Excessive salt intake leads to an increase in the kidneys' workload for filtering calcium.

Types of Kidney Stones

These kidney stones are the most frequently encountered types. They form when urine contains elevated levels of calcium, oxalate, or uric acid, but lower levels of citrate. Oxalates are a naturally occurring chemical found in both plants and animals. Some foods rich in oxalates include beets, black tea, chocolate, almonds, potatoes, and spinach.

Malfunctions in the urinary system lead to the formation of kidney stones composed of calcium phosphate. This type of stone, often found alongside calcium oxalate stones, might result from urinary or kidney-related problems. To eliminate these possibilities, your kidney stone doctor might recommend various blood and urine tests.

Struvite stones form due to specific types of urinary tract infections, and they tend to be more prevalent among women. These stones often form, increase in size, and at times can completely occupy the kidney. If not addressed, they can lead to recurring, sometimes serious urinary tract infections and potential kidney harm.

Uric acid stones are more commonly found in men who have inadequate water intake or consume high amounts of animal proteins compared to women. Moreover, there's a higher chance of these stones forming in individuals with gout, a family background of such kidney stones, or those who have gone through chemotherapy.

Cystine stones occur due to cystinuria, an inherited genetic condition that tends to run in families and leads to an excess buildup of the amino acid cystine in the urine. As a result, stones can form in the ureters, kidney, or bladder.

Kidney Stone Facts
Mykare Health is dedicated to providing hassle-free kidney stone removal surgeries in the best facilities with personalised care. It is a patient-centered, technology-driven healthcare service provider. Consult our expert urology surgeons in Chennai to choose a hassle-free, cost-effective, highly advanced kidney stone removal treatment before it worsens. Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery: The advanced method called RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is used for treating kidney stones ranging from 8 mm to 15 mm in size. The anaesthesia expert will start by giving the patient either a spinal or general anaesthetic, depending on what the patient prefers for a painless kidney stone treatment. Under spinal anaesthesia, the patient feels numb from the waist down. In contrast, during surgery with general anaesthesia, the patient is completely unconscious. The urologist uses a flexible tool equipped with a small laser at one end. They guide it through the patient's body to locate the kidney stones using imaging techniques. Stones are extracted using forceps, and once they have been fragmented into smaller pieces using microscopic lasers, they are taken out. Subsequently, the fragmented stone particles are eliminated through the urine. Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy: Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy, commonly referred to as ESWL, is a form of lithotripsy that employs external shock waves to fragment kidney stones into smaller pieces in a minimally invasive procedure conducted by a doctor. The patient is given a spinal anaesthetic to reduce pain following the removal of stones from the body. Multiple sessions of the traditional method, ESWL, may be required for the complete elimination of the stones. Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat kidney stones larger than 15 mm in size. It is occasionally referred to as "tunnel surgery" due to the small-scale incisions. Prior to the procedure, a general anaesthetic is administered by the anesthesiologist to guarantee a painless procedure. During the surgery, the patient will not be conscious. Subsequently, the kidney stone surgeon will create a 1 cm cut on the flank, which is the lower back region. The kidney stone surgeon identifies the stones and breaks them up with a nephroscope. The stone can either be completely flushed out or, if it's too large, it can be crushed into smaller pieces. Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy: During URSL (Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy), the patient is given either a spinal or general anaesthetic. A ureteroscope, which is a small tube equipped with a camera and a laser at its opposite end, is introduced into the ureter by the kidney stone surgeon. The camera is used to locate the stones, after which the laser is employed to crush them into smaller pieces. These smaller fragments are eliminated from the body during urination. The urologist inserts stents into the ureter to widen the ureter opening and make it easier for stones to flow through.

You'll need to go through a few tests so your kidney stone doctor can better understand your overall health. These tests involve:
  • Blood tests
  • KUB X-ray (Kidney, ureter, bladder X-ray)
  • An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
  • Ultrasonography
  • A CT scan or MRI to provide a detailed view of your abdomen and pelvic tissues.

  • Kidney stones are more common in people aged 20 to 50, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), with men being at a higher risk than women.
  • If kidney stones tend to run in your family, genetics might play a role.
  • Other factors that can increase the risk of kidney stones include not drinking enough water, being overweight, having a diet rich in protein, salt, or sugar, having hyperparathyroidism, undergoing gastric bypass surgery, having inflammatory bowel diseases that boost calcium absorption, and taking specific medications.
  • Taking medications like triamterene diuretics, antiseizure drugs, and calcium-based antacids can also raise the risk of inflammatory bowel diseases.

I was advised by my physician for a circumcision for hygienic reasons as well as certain urinary problems. I found out about Mykare Health from Instagram and at first I was a bit sceptical about approaching them as I have never before availed such consultancy services, especially for a medical purpose. Anyway, with a lot of reservations in mind, I decided to take the help of Mykare Health Team. From day one including scheduling the surgery, processing the insurance related paperworks, doctor's appointments etc to the day I got discharged, as well as the follow-up medical checkups later, I have to say the whole experience was totally overwhelming. Mykare representative Ms. Greashma did a commendable job in walking me through the entire journey and, at times, she even went above and beyond her call of duty to address our concerns in a very professional manner and thankfully the entire process was smooth and hassle-free, thanks to her unwavering commitment to the task at hand. Thank you Mykare Health Team for the amazing experience. Keep this going. Kudos. 👍
