      What is a Kidney Stone?

      Kidney stones are also known as renal calculi, nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis. A kidney stone is a hard, small material that can develop in the kidneys due to elevated levels of specific minerals and salts in urine. Kidney stones have the potential to form in any part of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Frequently, stones develop due to the concentration of urine, which enables minerals to crystallize and fuse together. The size of a kidney stone can range from as tiny as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball. 

      While passing kidney stones can be extremely painful, timely recognition typically prevents any lasting damage to kidneys.

      All kidney stones are not made up of the same crystals. There are several types of kidney stones which includes:

      • Calcium: Calcium stones are the most common reason for kidney stones. They’re often made of calcium oxalate, though they can consist of calcium phosphate or maleate.
      • Uric acid: The second most prevalent cause of kidney stone is uric acid. It can occur in people with gout, diabetes, obesity, and other types of metabolic syndrome.
      • Struvite: This type of kidney stone is seen mostly in patients with Urinary tract infections (UTIs). It can be larger in size and can also cause urinary obstruction.
      • Cystine: Globally, 1 in 7,000 persons are affected by kidney stones caused by cysts. It can affect both genders with cystinuria, a hereditary condition.

      Symptoms

      • Pain on one side of back or abdomen
      • Red, pink or brown colored urine
      • Nausea and vomiting
      • Discolored or foul-smelling urine
      • Chills
      • Fever
      • Frequent urge to urinate
      • Urinating small amounts of urine

      When and how to identify you need a treatment?

      Many kidney stones disappear on their own without any medical intervention. Surgery may occasionally be required to remove further bothersome stones or stones that become stuck in the urinary tract and can cause pain, fever, foul-smelling urine, frequent need of urination, etc.

      Kidney stones can be removed surgically in the following situations:

      • Stone is very large and cannot pass on its own.
      • Causes severe pain.
      • The stone causing obstruction, preventing the normal urine flow from the kidney.
      • The stone has resulted in multiple urinary tract infections (UTIs).

      Treatment options and utilities of treatment options at TaCa

      Kidney stones are treated with four different kinds of procedures. The first three involve minimally invasive surgery, in which the doctor makes a tiny incision or enters the body through a natural opening (such as your urethra). Below mentioned the surgical procedures for kidney stone removal:

      • Ureteroscopy: This treatment involves inserting a tiny device called a ureteroscope that is inserted in urethra, through the bladder into a ureter. This device identifies the kidney stones, extracts them in a surgical “basket,” or breaks them apart using a laser. These smaller pieces of the kidney stones are then easily able to exit your body through your urinary tract.
      • Shockwave lithotripsy: The patient is positioned on a special type of surgical table or tub for this surgery. Shockwaves with high energy are transmitted to the stones through water. The stones are broken up by the shockwaves, making it easier for them to leave the body.
      • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy or percutaneous nephrolithotripsy: When other surgical procedures are ineffective due to numerous stones, their size, weight, or location, percutaneous nephrolithotomy is considered for treating kidney stones.
      • Open surgery: During this procedure, a longer cut is made. It’s not as common as least invasive procedures.

        Kidney Stones Removal Surgery

        No, Kidney stones are not life-threatening.

        Usually, the hospital stay is for 1–2 nights.

        Yes, kidney stones can run in families.

        TaCa is having a team of skilled or good surgeons that are important because they know the significance of determining when surgery is necessary and when it's not. They recognize that the decision-making process holds more significance than the surgical procedure itself. Ultimately, the aim of any surgery is to serve the patient's well-being.

        It includes: 

        • Sepsis
        • Blockage in ureter
        • Injury in ureter
        • Urinary tract infection
        • Pain
        • Bleeding during surgery

        Several factors are there which are responsible for the cost of kidney stone removal treatment:

        • Type and severity of kidney stone
        • Type of surgery performed
        • Hospital’s type and location 
        • Anesthesiologist fee
        • Medication cost
        • Cost of diagnostic tests

        Every procedure has a different recovery period, although most of the patients return to normal activities within six weeks of complete recovery. During the first week, most patients feel substantially better, but it is important to take precautions to ensure full healing.

        Within five years of developing a kidney stone, chances of developing another one is between 35–50%.

        Understanding the potential causes of kidney stones is beneficial after one has occurred. This is especially true, if someone has experienced more than one, as it is typically an indication that there is a need to change the diet or lifestyle.
