Understanding Kidney & Ureteral Stones

A kidney stone is a hard, solid mass made of minerals and salts that forms in the kidneys. It develops when certain substances in urine, such as calcium, uric acid, and oxalates, become too concentrated and crystallize. Over time, these crystals can grow and form stones.

When a stone moves from the kidney into the ureter (the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder), it is referred to as a ureter stone. Stones can become lodged in the narrow ureter, leading to more noticeable symptoms. Clinically known as nephrolithiasis, kidney stones can disrupt the natural functioning of the urinary system and cause significant discomfort.

Our Approach to Treatment of Kidney & Ureteral Stone

At Epitome Hospitals, we adopt a patient-centric approach for treatment, offering -

Comprehensive Evaluation

Detailed assessment of symptoms, medical history, and diagnostic tests, including urinary flow & urine analysis, blood test, ultrasound, and CT scan to determine the severity of the issue.

Medical Management

Prescription of medications to alleviate symptoms and halt prostate growth. Depending on the type of stone, the kidney stone doctor may prescribe medicines to decrease stone formation or help break down and remove the material that is causing the stones.

Corrective Surgery

If the stone is too large to pass on its own, is growing, blocking urine flow, causing an infection, or if the pain cannot be controlled, our doctors may recommend treatment options such as shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy, or the placement of ureteral stents.

Frequently Asked Questions

A kidney stone usually will not cause symptoms until it moves around within the kidney or passes into one of the ureters. The ureters are the tubes that connect the kidneys and bladder. If a kidney stone becomes lodged in the ureters, it may block the flow of urine and cause the kidney to swell and the ureter to spasm, which can be very painful. 

At that point, symptoms include -

  • Severe, sharp pain in the side and back, below the ribs
  • Pain that radiates to the lower abdomen and groin
  • Pain that comes in waves and fluctuates in intensity
  • Pain or burning sensation while urinating
  • A persistent need to urinate, urinating more often than usual or urinating in small amounts
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Blood in urine (pink, red or brown discolouration)
  • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
  • Fever and chills if an infection is present

Pain caused may change, shifting to a different location or increasing in intensity — as the stone moves through the urinary tract.

  • Dehydration - Insufficient water intake leads to concentrated urine, increasing the risk of stone formation. People who live in warm, dry climates and those who sweat a lot may be at higher risk.
  • A certain type of diet - A diet high in sodium(salt), sugar, or oxalates can increase the likelihood of stones. This is especially true with a high-sodium diet. Too much salt in your diet increases the amount of calcium your kidneys must filter and significantly increases your risk of kidney stones. Excessive intake of animal proteins can also raise uric acid levels, leading to stone formation.
  • Obesity. High body mass index (BMI), large waist size and weight gain have been linked to an increased risk of kidney stones.
  • Medical conditions - Conditions like hyperparathyroidism, gout, or diabetes can increase the risk. Certain intestinal diseases (e.g., Crohn’s disease) or surgeries can affect calcium and water absorption, promoting stone formation.
  • Urinary tract issues - Recurrent urinary tract infections or blockages can create conditions for stone formation.
  • Medications and supplements - Overuse of certain medications (e.g., diuretics, calcium-based antacids) or high-dose vitamin C or D supplements can contribute to kidney stones.

Genetics - Family history of kidney stones increases susceptibility.

Yes, lifestyle changes can help manage the symptoms of kidney stones and reduce the risk of forming new stones. While they may not eliminate existing stones, these changes can ease symptoms, prevent complications, and support overall urinary health. Here’s how -

  • Stay Hydrated - Drinking plenty of water dilutes urine, reducing the concentration of minerals and salts that form stones. Aim for at least 2-3 liters of water daily. If you are active or live in a hot climate, you may need more. Monitor the color of your urine—it should be pale yellow.
  • Adjust Your Diet - Reduce salt, choose fresh, unprocessed foods and avoid adding extra salt. Balance calcium intake and get calcium from food rather than supplements, as excess calcium supplements can raise stone risk. Limit animal protein and opt for plant-based proteins or lean meats in moderation. Avoid sugary drinks, sodas and sweetened beverages.
  • Maintain a Healthy Weight - Adopt a balanced diet and regular exercise routine to maintain a healthy weight. Be active but avoid overexertion.
  • Avoid Dehydrating Beverages - Tea, coffee, alcohol and caffeinated drinks in excess can lead to dehydration, which increases the risk of stone formation.
