The treatment for kidney stones depends entirely upon the size of the stone. Kidney stones that are smaller than 5 mm usually clear out on their own. Stones bigger than that often require medical or surgical intervention.
18 mm kidney stones can not pass through the urethra on their own. Therefore, medical intervention is requisite. If left untreated, these stones can block the ureters and can cause the kidneys to swell up. On top of that, they can also put you at an increased risk of infections.
If your doctor suspects kidney stones, he/she might recommend the following tests:
Imaging tests- These tests will include abdominal ultrasounds, x-rays, or MRIs. They will help the doctor obtain 3D images of the abdomen, and determine the size and location of the stone.
Blood tests- These tests will help the doctor look for calcium, phosphorus, uric acid, and electrolytes that may result in the progression of kidney stones.
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine test – This test will let the doctor determine the amount of nitrogen in the blood, and identify abnormalities in the kidney.
Urinalysis – This test helps doctors assess the contents of urine to check for crystals, bacteria, or any other agents that can cause kidney stones.
Untreated kidney stones can adversely affect your kidneys and may also lead to permanent damage. However, kidney stones that are treated in time do not cause any long-term consequences.
Here are ways in which you can prevent kidney stones in the first place:
An 18 mm kidney stone would almost always require surgery. The doctor might suggest any of the following surgeries to help you get rid of the kidney stone:
ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy): This non-invasive procedure uses shock waves to break down kidney stones, and other parts. These stones usually clear out on their own after the procedure.
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery): This is another non-invasive procedure, which is performed using a viewing tube called a fiberoptic endoscope. The stones are removed using forceps or fragmented using tiny lasers. The fragments then pass from the bladder with urine.
URSL (Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy): This surgery is performed under anesthesia. In this procedure, a small telescope is passed through the urethra, into the ureter to extract a stone. The stone is usually broken with a laser, and the pieces are then removed with a grasping device.
PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy): In PCNL or tunnel surgery, the surgeon makes minor incisions on the lower back or flank area and uses a nephroscope to locate and fragment the stones. The broken stone is then flushed out.
