Diagnosis
You should reach out to a urologist as soon as you notice the symptoms of kidney stones. The urologist will discuss your medical history to get a better understanding of your condition. The doctor may perform a physical examination and ask you to undergo some imaging tests for the proper diagnosis of the size and the location of the kidney stones.
In addition to imaging tests, the doctor may also conduct some blood and urine tests to get a detailed insight into the condition of your kidney stones.
Surgery
There are a number of techniques available for the treatment of kidney stones. The modern and effective surgical treatments for kidney stones include laparoscopic treatment, laser treatment and shock wave lithotripsy.
In laparoscopic treatment for kidney stones, the surgeon makes a small incision in the renal pelvis or the ureter, depending upon the location of the kidney stone. A small laparoscopic device is inserted to get a clearer view of the inside of the urinary tract. The kidney stones are then removed through the incision and the incision is closed with minor stitches. It is a minimally invasive procedure and is performed under the administration of anesthesia, which means it is absolutely painless as well.
Laser treatment for kidney stones involves the use of laser energy for breaking the stones into small fragments. The surgeon inserts a device called a ureteroscope into the ureter through the urethra. Then the surgeon looks for the kidney stone and once it is found, high-intensity laser energy is aimed at the stone. The laser energy breaks the stones into small pieces, some of which are removed through a small bucket and the rest are flushed out through the urine.
In shock wave lithotripsy, the doctor uses thousands of shock wave pulses to break the larger stone into smaller pieces. After that, you will be asked to drink a lot of fluids so that the small stone pieces can travel easily through the urinary tract and then eventually get flushed out through the urine.

- Kidney stones are medically known as renal calculi.

What are the different types of kidney stones Disease?
The following are the types of kidney stones-Calcium Stones
80 percent of people are diagnosed with calcium kidney stones, making it one of the most common types of kidney stones. These kidney stones can be further categorized into two types- Calcium oxalate- These stones develop when you eat a lot of high-oxalate food such as potato chips, peanuts, chocolate, beets, spinach. Calcium phosphate- These stones develop due to conditions such as hyperparathyroidism or urinary tract infections.Uric Acid Stones
Uric acid stones develop in 5-10 percent of people. The risk of developing this type of kidney stones increases due to the following factors-- Overweight or obesity
- Chronic diarrhea
- Diabetes, especially Type 2
- Gout
- A high animal protein diet
- Eating fewer fruits and vegetables
- When uric acid (waste matter) does not dissolve in acidic urine, it crystallizes into these stones.
Cystine Stones
These stones develop due to a rare, inherited disorder known as Cystinuria. People suffering from this metabolic disorder have high amounts of cysteine (amino acids) in the urine. These types of stones are more likely to develop in children.Infection Stones
Around 10 percent of people suffer from this type of kidney stones. These stones are also known as struvite. As the name suggests, these stones develop due to urinary tract infections (UTIs). By the time these stones are diagnosed, they are already large enough as they grow very fast. People who suffer from recurring UTIs or face difficulty while emptying their bladder due to neurologic issues are more prone to developing struvites/infection stones.What happens in shock wave lithotripsy for kidney stones?
Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is one of the most common treatments for kidney stones. In this procedure, shock waves targeted at the kidney stones break the stones into fragments. The process is also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy. After the stones are broken into tiny pieces or stone dust, it easily passes through urine. SWL involves no incisions but the treatment is done under the influence of anesthesia, so that the patient does not feel any pain. The doctor might even conduct the procedure under light sedation. SWL is performed as a daycare procedure and the patient can head home the same day if there are no other complications. The biggest advantage of SWL is that it can treat kidney stones without any incisions. The hospital stay in the process is very short and the recovery time is much faster.What happens in laparoscopic kidney stone surgery?
In laparoscopic surgery for kidney stones, the surgeon begins by inducing anesthesia to the patient. The surgeon then makes tiny incisions in the patient and inserts a laparoscope through the incisions. The laparoscope guides the surgeon to the kidney stones which are then removed by the surgeon. Laparoscopic surgery for kidney stones is considered to be one of the best treatment for kidney stones due to the following advantages:- The patient experiences minimal pain
- Shortens your hospital stay
- The patient recovers quickly
- No risks and complications
