What are Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones: A kidney stone is a hard mineral and salt deposit in the kidneys. They vary in size, and when they pass through the urinary tract, they can cause symptoms such as:
- Sharp pain in the back or the side.
- Nausea and vomiting
- Blood in urine
- Frequent or painful urination
Symptoms of Kidney Stones
Symptoms of kidney stones can vary over a range, and some of them are as follows;
- Pain radiates from the loin to the groin as the stones move through the ureter.
- nausea and vomiting due to the response of the body to severe pain experienced during renal colic
- Fever with chills in case of pre-existing infection, blood in urine when the stone digs into the wall of the ureter, pain or burning sensation during urination
- Decreased output of urine if the stone obstructs the outflow of the urine.
- Foul-smelling urine indicates stagnation of urine in the urinary system as well as the presence of infection.
- Frequent urination if a stone is located close to the bladder as it irritates the bladder wall.
Causes of Kidney Stones
There can be several conditions that can lead to the formation of a kidney stone, such as follows:
- Infection of the urinary tract
- Hereditary conditions like hypercystinuria
- High uric acid levels in blood, such as in gout or during cancer treatment
- Dehydration and poor water intake allow for an easy rise in the concentration of forming substances.
- High intake of protein, red meat, and high salt intake could also lead to stone formation.
- Low dietary intake of calcium can cause loss of calcium in the body via the urine, thus forming stones.
- Certain medications like allopurinol, topiramate, and calcium antacids can also cause increased excretion of minerals in the body, leading to stone formation.
What are the 4 Methods for Kidney Stone Removal in Delhi?
The following are some of the methods used for kidney stone removal in Delhi.
URSL ( Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy )
In this procedure, high-energy shock waves are directed to the location of the renal stones, which are then broken into smaller fragments. Following the breaking of the stone, a stent is placed to let the rest of the stones go out. This procedure is more advantageous for smaller stones.
RIRS ( Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery )
In RIRS, the stone is removed from near the kidney via a technique similar to URSL.
PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy)
PCNL is a slightly invasive technique in which an incision is made in the flank to reach the kidney and remove the stone when the stone is so big that it doesn’t travel down into the ureter.
ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy )
In URSL, a fiber-optic ureteroscope is used to see the stone in the ureter and then break the stone or remove it if the size of the stone is small.

Diagnosis of Kidney Stones
The diagnosis of kidney stones starts with the history taken from the patient, who describes their symptoms and habits as the doctor tries to narrow down the condition. The doctor can also then prescribe some investigations to confirm their doubts:
- blood test to check for levels of uric acid calcium and other hormones like parathyroid hormone that might have a role to play in stone formation
- imaging like an x-ray of the kidney ureter and bladder with or without contrast to try and detect the location of the stone.
- ultrasound abdomen to visualize the kidney bladder and ureter if affected by the kidney stone
- A CT Kidney ureter and bladder scan is used to recognize the exact location of the stone for a surgical procedure or further management.
- urine culture and sensitivity to check for the presence of any organisms causing urinary tract infection
- complete urine examination to check for all the physical parameters of the urine and also crystals and casts in the urine, if any.
Surgical Options For Kidney Stone Treatments
- Open surgery in which an incision is made in the back, and the kidney is approached from the side to remove very large kidney stones
- Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, in which the removal of kidney stones is done via a small 2 cm incision on the skin in the back, which can help to break and remove large stones.
Mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy, in which a still smaller incision is used to remove the stones.
- laparoscopic surgery is also done to remove complicated stones while using small incisions.
- robot-assisted kidney stone surgery in which highly precise robot arms are used along with laparoscopy or PCNL.
