Advanced Treatment for 6.8 mm Kidney Stone

Kidney stones, as the name suggests, is a condition of the kidneys that can affect anyone at any given point in time. Research says that 1 in 10 people will get kidney stones at some point in their lifetime. This condition may cause pain, nausea, vomiting, blood in urine, fever and chills, or a foul smell in urine. Kidney stones vary in size, and their treatment is decided based on the size of the stone. Stones that measure less than 5 mm usually don't exhibit any symptoms and clear out on their own. However, a stone that's bigger than 5 mm would require medical intervention to be treated. A 6.8 mm stone, for instance, is most likely to require surgery to be removed.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 6.8 mm kidney stone dangerous?

Most people would find difficulty passing a 6.8 mm kidney stone naturally. A kidney stone of 6.8 mm is not dangerous if treated on time. However, in some cases, it can cause some discomfort and may hamper day-to-day activities.

What symptoms can 6.8 mm kidney stones cause?

6.8 mm kidney stones may or may not show any symptoms. However, in some cases, patients complain of pain, nausea, vomiting, and blood in the urine.

What is the best way of removing a 6.8 mm kidney stone?

A 6.8 mm kidney stone rarely passes on its own, making medical intervention requisite. The doctor might prescribe medicines to help you pass the stone with ease. If the medicines don’t work, the doctor might suggest shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL).

What if the kidney stone gets stuck?

Stuck kidney stones can block the flow of urine, and may cause swelling in the kidneys. This can then cause your ureter to spasm and may cause immense pain.

When to seek treatment for 6.8 mm kidney stones?

6.8 mm kidney stones are classed as ‘medium-sized’ stones. These stones can pass through your bladder naturally. However, the chances are quite low.

Pain in the back, belly, or sides
Burning sensation while urinating
Urgency to pee
Presence of blood in the urine
Foul smell and cloudy color of the urine
Inability to pass urine properly
Fever and chills, if an infection is present in the urinary tract
