Advanced Treatment for 7.8 mm Kidney Stone

Kidney stones are more common than one can speculate and can affect anyone, at any given point in time. The causes of kidney stones are manifold, including obesity, dehydration, weight loss surgeries, etc, but what's important is getting this condition treated in time. In most cases, kidney stones cause mild to severe symptoms and affect your quality of life. A 7.8 mm kidney stone can cause various symptoms, including pain, problems while urinating, blood in urine, etc. Additionally, the possibility of these stones clearing out on their own is low, as they are relatively big. Therefore, surgery may be requisite. If you're looking for effective treatment for your 7.8 mm kidney stone, consult our kidney stones doctors. Our expert urologists have extensive experience in treating kidney stones of different sizes. They use the latest methods, and their knowledge to offer respite to patients, and help them win back their quality of life.

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.
