What are Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are hard, mineral-rich deposits that form in the kidneys when waste products concentrate and crystallise. They can vary in size and may cause severe pain, especially when passing through the urinary tract. If left untreated, kidney stones can lead to complications, making early diagnosis and management crucial.

Causes of Kidney Stone

Kidney stones form when the concentration of waste products in the urine surpasses the fluid levels in the bladder, pelvic ureteric junction, and ureter. Several factors can increase the risk of developing kidney stones, including

Insufficient hydration leads to concentrated urine, which can foster mineral accumulation and stone formation.

Consuming excessive amounts of these can contribute to a higher risk of kidney stones.

High salt intake increases calcium levels that the kidneys must filter.

These conditions are associated with a greater likelihood of developing kidney stones.

Diarrhea and inflammatory bowel diseases can hinder the absorption of calcium and fluids, impacting kidney stone risk.

A family history of kidney stones can significantly increase the likelihood of developing them, as genetic factors can affect the body’s ability to process waste and balance minerals properly.

Types of Kidney Stones

The most prevalent type of kidney stones, these form when urine contains high levels of calcium, oxalate, or uric acid but low levels of citrate. Oxalates are naturally occurring chemicals found in various foods, including beets, black tea, chocolate, almonds, potatoes, and spinach.

These stones are linked to abnormalities in the urinary system and often occur alongside calcium oxalate stones. They may arise from urinary or kidney disorders, prompting your doctor to conduct various blood and urine tests to identify the underlying causes.

Often associated with specific types of urinary tract infections, struvite stones are more common in women. They can grow large and may sometimes occupy the entire kidney, potentially leading to recurrent urinary tract infections and kidney damage if untreated.

More frequently found in men, uric acid stones typically develop in those who do not drink enough water or have a high intake of animal proteins. They are also more likely to occur in individuals with gout, a family history of kidney stones, or those who have undergone chemotherapy.

Caused by cystinuria, a hereditary condition, cystine stones result from an excess of the amino acid cystine in the urine. These stones can form in the ureters, kidneys, or bladder.

Kidney Stone Facts

Mykare Health is dedicated to offering hassle-free kidney stone removal surgeries in top-tier facilities with personalised care. As a patient-centred, technology-driven healthcare provider, we invite you to consult our experienced urology surgeons in Kochi to explore advanced, cost-effective kidney stone removal techniques before the condition worsens.

Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS): Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is a cutting-edge procedure for treating kidney stones ranging from 8 mm to 15 mm in size. Depending on the patient's preference, the anaesthetist will administer either spinal or general anaesthesia for a pain-free experience. Under spinal anaesthesia, the patient is numbed below the waist, while general anaesthesia ensures complete unconsciousness.

The urologist then employs a flexible endoscope equipped with a tiny laser. Using imaging techniques, the surgeon navigates the body to locate the stones. Stones are extracted using forceps and are fragmented into smaller pieces with microscopic lasers, which are then expelled through urine.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL): Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is a minimally invasive technique where external shock waves are used to break kidney stones into tiny fragments. The patient typically receives spinal anaesthesia to minimise discomfort. Complete removal of stones may require multiple ESWL sessions.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL): Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive procedure for kidney stones larger than 15 mm in diameter, often referred to as "tunnel surgery" due to the small incisions made.The anesthesiologist administers general anaesthesia for a pain-free experience, ensuring the patient remains unconscious throughout the surgery.

The surgeon makes a 1 cm incision in the flank (lower back area) to access the stones. Using a nephroscope, the surgeon locates and breaks the stones into smaller pieces, which can be flushed out entirely or in fragments.

Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy (URSL): During Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy (URSL), patients receive either spinal or general anaesthesia. A ureteroscope, a small tube with a camera and laser, is inserted into the ureter. The camera helps locate the stones, and the laser breaks them into smaller pieces, which are then flushed out while urinating. The urologist may also place stents in the ureter to widen its opening, facilitating easier passage of stones.

Before your surgery, you will undergo several tests to provide your kidney stone doctor with a clear picture of your overall health. These tests may include

Blood tests
KUB X-ray (Kidney, Ureter, Bladder)
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
Ultrasonography
CT scan or MRI for detailed imaging of abdominal and pelvic tissues.

Individuals aged 20 to 50 are most vulnerable to kidney stones.
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), men are more likely than women to develop kidney stones.
Genetics may play a role, as kidney stone occurrence can run in families.
Additional risk factors include dehydration, obesity, a diet high in protein, salt, or glucose, hyperparathyroidism, gastric bypass surgery, inflammatory bowel diseases that enhance calcium absorption, and certain medications.
Certain medications, such as triamterene diuretics, antiseizure drugs, and calcium-based antacids, may also increase the risk of developing kidney stones.

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. 👍
