Is kidney stone 0.3 serious?

Kidney stones of 0.3 cm are generally not serious. This is a relatively small stone. If there are no symptoms, most of them can be excreted by themselves. Pay attention to adjusting your diet to prevent stone recurrence. Calcium oxalate stones should limit protein intake, such as milk, eggs, calcium tablets and other foods high in calcium. Phosphate stones should use a low-phosphorus, low-calcium diet and take ammonium chloride orally to acidify the urine. Urate stones should eat less foods high in uric acid, such as animal liver, meat, beans, etc., and take sodium bicarbonate orally to alkalize the urine, which helps prevent stones.

What causes kidney stones?

Kidney stones generally refer to stones formed inside the kidneys. The formation of kidney stones is mainly due to a large number of crystals in an oversaturated state, so they will precipitate in the renal pelvis. These crystals will slowly accumulate together to form kidney stones. Small kidney stones are called kidney crystals, and larger stones are called kidney stones. The appearance of kidney stones is mainly related to drinking less water, physical factors, and dietary factors. It is necessary to go to the hospital for relevant examinations and treatments in time.

What are the symptoms of kidney stones?

The symptoms of kidney stones are directly related to the size and number of stones, whether they are accompanied by water accumulation, infection, etc. If it is a relatively small kidney stone found in the early stage, there are generally no discomfort symptoms, which are usually discovered through color Doppler ultrasound examination during physical examination. If the stone is relatively large and causes water accumulation in the kidney, there will generally be dull pain and distension in the waist, and some people will also have hematuria. If the stone is accompanied by infection, there will be obvious waist pain, and even chills, high fever, hematuria and other symptoms. No matter what kind of kidney stone it is, you need to go to the hospital's urology department in time to understand the specific situation of the stone through color Doppler ultrasound, CT and other examinations in time, and then carry out targeted treatment.
