Advanced Treatment for 5.1 mm Kidney Stone

Kidney Stones is a common condition of the kidneys which, in most cases, accompanies a lot of discomfort. These stones can be of different sizes and feature a salt and mineral composition. Some stones stay in the kidney and cause no aches and pains. In fact, they usually pass through the urine. However, Kidney Stones bigger than 5 mm don't clear out in the urine easily and require medical intervention or need to be broken down into smaller fragments. In order to get a 5.1 mm Kidney Stone, medical intervention becomes necessary. If you have a Kidney Stone that is 5.1 mm in size, you must seek medical attention. At Pristyn Care, we have a dedicated team of urologists who would perform a thorough diagnosis of your condition and curate the best treatment plan for you.

5.1 mm 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 on 5.1 mm Kidney Stone Treatment

Can a 5.1 mm kidney stone pass naturally?

A 5.1 mm kidney stone may or may not pass naturally. Since a 5.1 mm kidney stone is medium in size, there’s a chance that it would pass naturally. However, if it causes pain and shows other symptoms, we suggest seeing a urologist for extraction. 

What symptoms does a 5.1 mm kidney stone cause?

A 5.1 kidney stone is medium in size, so the symptoms caused may not be very severe. Yet, some people may experience pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and blood in the urine. 

What happens if the kidney stone is not removed?

Kidney stones do not cause any permanent damage to the bladder. However, leaving these stones untreated can damage your kidneys and may also cause recurrent UTIs. 

Does passing a kidney stone hurt?

If the kidney stone is larger than 5 mm, you may face some difficulty passing it. Typically, a kidney stone takes 1-2 weeks to pass through your system. The doctor will prescribe medicines to help you curb the pain. 

How long can a 5.1 mm kidney stone stay in the ureter?

A 5.1 mm kidney stone can stay in the ureter for a long time if it’s unable to pass through the ureter. In this case, surgery may be required.
