About Kidneystones
A kidney stone, also known as a renal calculus, is a hard, crystalline mineral deposit that forms in the kidneys or urinary tract. Kidney stones can vary in size from tiny grains of sand to larger, golf ball-sized stones. A major complication of kidney stones is the potential obstruction of the urinary tract, causing severe pain and hindering the flow of urine. Common in ages 30-60, more prevalent in males. In India, higher incidence in northern regions like Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana due to dietary habits, climate, and genetics. Risk factors include oxalate-rich diet, low fluid intake, and sedentary lifestyle.
How to diagnose and When to
Consult a Doctor?
DIAGNOSING VARICOSE VEINS
Medical History & Exam: Detailed medical history review and physical examination.
24-Hour Urine Collection: Measures stone-forming substances.
Imaging: CT Scan: Detailed images of the urinary tract.
X-ray: Detects certain types of stones.
Ultrasound: Shows stone presence, non-invasive.
Blood Tests: BUN & Creatinine: Evaluate kidney function and damage.
Stone Analysis: Identifies stone composition if passed or removed.
Urine Tests:Urinalysis: Detects blood, signs of infection.
Pain Assessment: Evaluates pain severity and location.
Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP): Less common, uses contrast dye and X-rays to visualize urinary tract.
When to consult a doctor
Severe and Persistent Pain: Intense and continuous back or abdominal pain.
Blood in Urine: Pink, red, or brown urine, indicating potential bleeding from the urinary tract.
Frequent Urination and Painful Urination: Increased urge to urinate and discomfort or pain during urination.
Nausea, Vomiting, and Fever: Persistent nausea, vomiting, elevated body temperature, and chills.
History or Pre-existing Conditions: Previous kidney stone history or existing health conditions, especially hypertension, diabetes, or a family history of kidney stones.
Symtoms
​Severe Pain: Intense and sudden pain in the lower back, side, or abdomen.
Pain Radiation: Pain that may radiate to the lower abdomen and groin.
Blood in Urine: Pink, red, or brown-colored urine due to blood.
Frequent Urination: Increased need to urinate, often accompanied by urgency.
Painful Urination: Discomfort or a burning sensation during urination.
Blood in Urine: Pink, red, or brown-colored urine due to blood.
Frequent Urination: Increased need to urinate, often accompanied by urgency.
Painful Urination: Discomfort or a burning sensation during urination.
Causes
Dietary Factors: High oxalate, protein, or sodium intake.
Dehydration: Insufficient fluid intake leading to concentrated urine.
Family/Personal History: Genetic predisposition or past stone occurrence.
Medical Conditions: Hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria, hyperuricosuria, or cystinuria.
Obesity: Being overweight or obese.
Certain Medications: Diuretics, calcium-containing antacids, etc.
Metabolic Disorders: Disorders affecting calcium, phosphate, or vitamin D metabolism.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Chronic UTIs creating a stone-friendly environment.
Anatomic Abnormalities: Structural issues in the kidneys or urinary tract.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Conditions like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
​Understanding procedure
-
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS): Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat kidney stones and other urological conditions.
-
It involves accessing the inside of the kidney through the urinary tract to remove or break down stones, without the need for any incisions.
-
URS, or Ureteroscopy: URS, or Ureteroscopy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat kidney stones and other urinary tract issues.
-
The procedure involves inserting a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light, called a ureteroscope, into the urinary tract to visualize and address stones.
-
Double-J Stent: "DJ Stent" is a shortened term for a Double-J Stent, also known as a ureteral stent. It is a flexible, hollow tube commonly used in urological procedures to treat or manage various conditions, including kidney stones

Advantages of kidney Stones
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS):
-
Minimally Invasive: No external incisions, less trauma, and faster recovery.
-
High Success Rate: Effectively treats smaller to moderate-sized kidney stones. Short Hospital Stay:
-
Often outpatient or minimal hospitalization, promoting quick recovery. Precise Stone Targeting: Accurate visualization for effective stone removal.
-
Less Discomfort: Reduced post-operative pain and discomfort.
URS (Ureteroscopy):
-
Minimally Invasive: No incisions, faster recovery.
-
Direct Visualization: Clear view for precise diagnosis and treatment.
-
Effective Stone Management: Efficient fragmentation and removal. Versatile: Suitable for various stone sizes and types.​
DJ (double-J) stent:
-
Ureteral Support: Maintains the structure and openness of the ureter, aiding in urine flow.
-
Post-Surgery Drainage: Assists in draining urine after kidney surgery, promoting healing.
-
Prevents Leakage: Reduces urinary leakage after kidney surgery or trauma.​
​​
Who Should Consider Kidney Stone?
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS):
Individuals who prefer procedures with minimal invasiveness, fewer incisions, and quicker recovery.
Patients with kidney stones located in intricate or hard-to-reach areas within the kidney, benefiting from RIRS's precision.
URS (Ureteroscopy):
Patients with a blocked or obstructed ureter, which hinders the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder, may require a Double-J stent to maintain the passage open.
Individuals who have undergone ureteroscopy or shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) for kidney stones might need a stent to support the ureter during the healing process.
Patients with hydronephrosis, a condition characterized by kidney swelling due to a backup of urine, can benefit from a Double-J stent to relieve the pressure and maintain urine flow.
Proceudre guide
Overview of the Procedure:
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS): After administering appropriate anesthesia and positioning the patient in lithotomy, a cystoscope is guided through the urethra to the bladder. A guidewire is then advanced through the cystoscope into the kidney, enabling access for the ureteroscope—a flexible tube with a camera. This ureteroscope is threaded through the ureter into the kidney, allowing direct visualization of stones. Laser lithotripsy fragments the stones, aiding extraction using specialized retrieval devices or baskets. The kidney, ureter, and bladder are carefully inspected for any residual stones or complications. Depending on the situation, a ureteral stent may be placed to aid drainage and promote healing.
Preparing for Surgery:
Consult your healthcare provider to grasp the procedure, benefits, and risks fully.
Adhere to fasting instructions, refraining from food and drink before the procedure.
Share your medication list and allergies to ensure a safe procedure.
Stay hydrated, unless advised otherwise, and arrange for transportation to the medical facility.
Wear comfortable attire, limit personal belongings, and seek clarification to ensure a smooth procedure and recovery.
Always follow the specific guidelines provided by your healthcare team.
On the Day of the Procedure:
Once registered, you'll sit down with your medical team, revisiting any prior tests and discussing the overall procedure.
Comfort is essential, so wear loose-fitting attire and steer clear of accessories, especially metal-based ones like jewelry.
As a part of routine pre-surgical checks, metrics such as blood pressure and heart rate are assessed.
What Happens During the
Treatment:
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS):
Patients commonly experience preoperative nervousness and anxiety before RIRS.
Detailed counseling helps allay fears by providing a clear understanding of the procedure, risks, and expected outcomes.
With appropriate anesthesia administered before the procedure, patients generally feel comfortable, relaxed, and sometimes drowsy due to sedation.
During RIRS, patients may have mild awareness of the process but experience minimal discomfort due to the anesthesia and advanced technologies used, ensuring a less invasive and relatively pain-free experience.
