What are the symptoms of kidney stones?

Kidney stones generally refer to stones located inside the kidneys. Kidney stones can be distributed in various parts of the kidneys, such as the upper renal calyx, middle renal calyx, lower renal calyx, renal pelvis and upper renal calyx. Mainly include low back pain, swelling, discomfort, and macroscopic hematuria. There will also be signs of kidney percussion pain. When these clinical symptoms appear, you need to go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time to make a clear diagnosis. Go to the hospital for routine urine tests, urine culture, urinary color Doppler ultrasound, and urinary system CT to make a clear diagnosis, and then carry out targeted treatment based on the test results.

Can urinary endoscopy detect kidney stones?

Kidney stones are a common type of stone in clinical practice, and the incidence of kidney stones is relatively high. Kidney stones generally refer to the stone components in the kidney. Kidney stones can be treated with minimally invasive surgery. The more commonly used surgical methods mainly include ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephroscope. The indications of these two surgical methods are different. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is generally suitable for larger kidney stones because the lithotripsy rate is relatively high, but it is somewhat traumatic. Ureteroscopy is generally suitable for kidney stones larger than 1 cm and kidney stones smaller than 3 cm.

How to treat bilateral kidney stones?

Treatment methods for bilateral kidney stones are used according to the size and number of stones, the degree of hydronephrosis and renal function. 1. Bilateral kidney stones are small, with a diameter of less than 5 mm. They can be treated by drinking more water and combined with stone-expelling drugs. 2. If the stone diameter is greater than 6 mm and less than 2 cm, and there is no hydronephrosis, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is feasible. 3. Simple hydronephrosis and bilateral kidney stones require surgical treatment. Then treat the contralateral stones. 4. Bilateral kidney stones complicated by bilateral hydronephrosis, first operate on the relatively easy and safe side. 5. Bilateral kidney stones complicated by bilateral hydronephrosis, complicated by infection and renal insufficiency, can be treated with percutaneous nephrostomy, infection control, and renal function improvement before surgery.
