Advanced Treatment for 15 mm Kidney Stone

Renal calculi, commonly known as kidney stones, are hard deposits that are composed of minerals and salts present in the urine. Normally, a small kidney stone can be passed naturally but if it grows up to 15 mm in size, it becomes harder to pass the stone naturally. As the first line of treatment, the doctor will prescribe some medications to dissolve the stones. However, if medicines don’t work, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) or other surgical techniques will be the best option. If you are seeking 15 mm kidney stones treatment, get in touch with Pristyn Care. We have expert urologists who have 10+ years of experience in performing all types of kidney stone surgeries with a success rate higher than 95%. Give us a call and book your free consultation today.

Kidney Stone Diagnosis & Treatment

Diagnosis

If you have symptoms of a kidney stone, your urologist may perform the following diagnostic tests to confirm the presence of kidney stones and draft a treatment plan:

  • Blood and urine tests: Blood tests help assess the calcium and uric acid levels in the blood, which helps evaluate the health of the kidneys. A 24-hour urine collection test examines the components of the urine for stone-forming minerals and stone-preventing substances.
  • Imaging tests: Imaging tests like CT scans, abdominal X-rays, and ultrasounds help reveal the size and location of kidney stones.
  • Stone analysis: Often, large kidney stones are associated with small kidney stones. If you collect your urine and pass it through a strainer, you can obtain small renal stones and send them to the lab for analysis.

Surgery

For a kidney stone, you may need one of the following treatments:

  • ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) is a common noninvasive treatment in which shock waves like X-rays or ultrasounds are used to break down stones in the urinary system, pancreas, or bile ducts.
  • RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is an endoscopic surgery in which the surgeon uses a fiberoptic endoscope and a ureteroscope to locate and remove renal stones from kidneys or ureters.
  • Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is performed to remove a kidney or upper ureter stones that are too large to be dissolved through ESWL or URSL.
  • In Ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL), the surgeon inserts a ureteroscope through the urethra to locate the stones, and then the stones are destroyed using shock waves. A urethral stent may be placed at the end of the surgery to keep the ureter open after the procedure.

FAQs Around 15mm Kidney Stone Treatment

Is a 15 mm kidney stone considered large?

Yes, a kidney stone that measures more than 5 mm is considered large. Each stone starts small but when they stay in the same place, more salts and mineral deposits stick to them, thereby making them bigger. Unless the stone starts moving, it won’t exhibit symptoms. 

Can you pass a 15 mm kidney stone naturally?

No, you won’t be able to pass a 15 mm kidney stone naturally. The ureter cannot expand beyond 5 mm. Thus, you are likely to need medicine or surgical treatment to get rid of the stones. 

What is the best treatment method for a 15 mm kidney stone?

The best treatment method for removal of a 15 mm kidney stone is chosen after finding out its size and location. If the stone is in either of the kidneys, the doctor may recommend shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for the removal. However, if the stone has moved, surgical techniques, i.e., ureteroscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), or retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) will be recommended. 

Is 15 mm kidney stone treatment covered under health insurance?

Yes, kidney stone treatment is covered under health insurance. It is a serious condition whose treatment is medically necessary. Leaving the stones untreated can cause life-threatening complications. Thus, all health insurance providers offer coverage for kidney stone treatment in the basic plan. You can claim the same and cover the entire cost of treatment with insurance. 

What will be the cost of 15 mm kidney stone treatment?

The cost of a 15 mm kidney stone treatment may vary significantly depending on the technique being used. The average cost might range from – 

  • ESWL– Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 55,000 
  • URSL– Rs. 65,000 to Rs. 80,000 
  • RIRS– Rs. 90,000 to Rs. 1,05,000 
  • PCNL– Rs. 70,000 to Rs. 85,000

What are the warning signs that you need kidney stone treatment

When kidney stones form, they start to exhibit symptoms that are commonly mistaken for other problems. Here are some early warning signs that indicate that you might have kidney stones-

  • You feel a frequent urge to urinate but urine comes out in small amounts. 
  • If an infection has occurred in your body due to kidney stones, you will get fever and chills randomly. 

If any or all of the above symptoms are present in your case, it is time that you see a doctor as soon as possible. You can contact us and schedule your consultation for free.
