Kidney stones that are too large to pass on their own or cause bleeding, kidney damage or ongoing urinary tract infections may require more-extensive treatment. Procedures may include: Using sound waves to break up stones. For certain kidney stones — depending on size and location — your doctor may recommend a procedure called extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). ESWL uses sound ...

Patient education: Kidney stones in adults (Beyond the Basics)
A kidney stone can form when high levels of certain substances (calcium, oxalate, cystine, or uric acid) are present in the urine. Stones can also form when these substances are at normal levels, especially if you are not making a lot of urine (eg, not drinking enough fluids). The substances form tiny crystals, which become anchored in the ...

The stages of passing a kidney stone can be long and extremely painful for some people. Here's what to expect in each.
Kidney Stones
What is a kidney stone? Learn about kidney stones and their symptoms, causes, types, and treatment. Symptoms include severe lower back pain, blood in urine, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, and smelly or cloudy urine. Kidney stone types: calcium oxalate, uric acid, struvite, and cystine. Kidney stone treatments: shockwave lithotripsy, uteroscopy, percutaneous nephrolithomy, and nephrolithotripsy.
Kidney Stone Pathophysiology, Evaluation and Management: Core
Kidney stone disease, also known as nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis, is a disorder in which urinary solutes precipitate to form aggregates of crystalline material in the urinary space. The incidence of nephrolithiasis has been increasing, and the demographics have been evolving. Once viewed as a limited disease with intermittent exacerbations that are simply managed by urologists ...
Kidney stones
A kidney stone is a hard object that is made from chemicals in the urine. After formation, the stone may stay in the kidney or travel down the urinary tract into the ureter. Stones that don't move may cause a back-up of urine, which causes pain.
Overview: Kidney stones
Kidney stones are very common, especially between the ages of 40 and 60. These small, hard crystals form in the renal pelvis, and can move down into the ureters. Large kidney stones may be painful and often need to be removed. There are various prevention and treatment options.

Learning Objectives Describe the clinical presentation, laboratory, and radiographic findings of an individual affected by a kidney stone. Compare 3 composition types of kidney stones and their clinical management. Differentiate spontaneous and familial risk factors for kidney stone development.
Renal Stones
Urinary tract stones are a common pathology, affecting around 2-3% of the Western population. They can form as both renal stones (within the kidney) or ureteric stones (within the ureter).
Nephrolithiasis
Kidney stones are concretions of different mineral salts mixed with an organic matrix that form in the upper urinary tract. As a stone moves from the kidney to the ureter, it can present with renal colic symptoms, and may cause urinary tract obstruction and/or infection. In fact, acute passage of a kidney stone is one of the leading reasons for visits to an emergency room. Over the past four ...

The incidence of nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) is rising worldwide, especially in women and with increasing age. Kidney stones are associated with chronic kidney disease.
Kidney Stones (Nephrolithiasis)
A kidney stone is a solid mass made up of tiny crystals. One or more stones can be in the kidney or ureter at the same time.
Types of Kidney Stones: Chart, Comparison, and Treatment

Kidney Stones
Kidney stones come in a variety of mineral types: Calcium stones: Most kidney stones are composed of calcium and oxalate. Many people who form calcium containing stones have too much calcium in their urine, a condition known as hypercalciuria There are several reasons why hypercalciuria may occur. Some people absorb too much calcium from their intestines. Others absorb too much calcium from ...
Nephrolithiasis Clinical Presentation
History Patients with urinary calculi may report pain, infection, or hematuria. Small nonobstructing stones in the kidneys only occasionally cause symptoms. If present, symptoms are usually moderate and easily controlled. The passage of stones into the ureter with subsequent acute obstruction, proximal urinary tract dilation, and spasm is associated with classic renal colic.
Definition & Facts for Kidney Stones
What are kidney stones? Kidney stones are hard, pebble-like pieces of material that form in one or both of your kidneys when high levels of certain minerals are in your urine. Kidney stones rarely cause permanent damage if treated by a health care professional.

Effect of Temperature on Kidney Stones in Children and Adults
The delay between high daily temperatures and kidney stone presentation was short, peaking within three days of exposure to hot days. Read more about the study. Research continues. Extending from this study, Tasian is continuing research on ways to increase water intake for children with kidney stones.
