The stone may remain in the kidney or break loose and travel down the urinary tract. A small stone may pass all of the way out of the body, but a larger stone can get stuck in a ureter, the bladder, or the urethra. This may block the flow of urine and cause great pain. A kidney stone may be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a pearl, and some are as big as golf balls. Approximately 80 percent of kidney stones are less than 2 centimeters in width. They may be smooth or jagged, and are usually yellow or brown in color.

BBC NEWS | Health | 'Stethoscope' Hears Kidney Stones
Scientists develop a smart stethoscope that can hear when a kidney stone hasbeen successfully shattered by treatment.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3963025.stm

Extractions: Scientists have developed a "smart stethoscope" that can hear when a kidney stone has been successfully broken down by treatment. The device listens to echoes created by shock wave therapy (lithotripsy) to let the doctor know if therapy has worked. Trials at Guy's Hospital in London have showed promising results, saving patients unnecessary repeat therapy and x-ray monitoring. The device was developed along with scientists from Southampton University. Hearing echoes Lithotripsy works by focusing thousands of shock waves onto the kidney stones in an effort to break them into pieces small enough to urinate out of the body or be dissolved by drugs. But there is no way of monitoring how the process is getting on. X-ray image after treatment X-ray image before treatment Doctors can take an x-ray before and after treatment to see if there is any change in the appearance of the stone. But it is often difficult to tell from these pictures and is more a case of trial and error - if the symptoms return then the patient will need more shock wave therapy.

Extractions: Open surgery using an incision is rarely needed to treat kidney stones . In most cases, other less invasive treatments are successful. Surgery may be needed when the kidney stone is causing severe bleeding that cannot be controlled. In rare cases, a person forms kidney stones because of an imbalance in hormone production. To help prevent stones from coming back, surgery to remove the parathyroid gland ( parathyroidectomy ) may be needed.

Extractions: From Our Sponsors Kidney stones are rock-like concretions of minerals that form in the kidney. There may be more than one stone, and they may be large or small. Men get kidney stones more often than women do. An illness called gout can cause kidney stones, as can a blockage of urine or a large amount of calcium in the urine. Too much calcium from food, vitamins, or other sources can contribute to formation of the stones. Typical symptoms include sharp mid-back pain, blood in the urine, painful urination, nausea, and vomiting. To help the stone pass, drink 3 quarts of water (the equivalent of 8 soda-sized cans), each day. A heating pad set on ""low'' may help ease the pain. Your doctor may also prescribe pain medicine. If the stone doesn't pass naturally, you may need to be hospitalized Kidney stones can cause long-term kidney problems that in rare cases can be fatal. But with proper treatment, serious problems are unlikely.

Extractions: Urine is formed by the kidneys. Blood flows into the kidneys, and specialized tubes (nephrons) within the kidneys allow a certain amount of fluid from the blood, and certain substances dissolved in that fluid, to flow out of the body as urine. Sometimes, a problem causes the dissolved substances to become solid again. Tiny crystals may form in the urine, meet, and cling together to create a larger solid mass called a kidney stone. Many people do not ever find out that they have stones in their kidneys. These stones are small enough to allow the kidney to continue functioning normally, never causing any pain. These are called "silent stones." Kidney stones cause problems when they interfere with the normal flow of urine. They can block (obstruct) the flow down the tube (the ureter) that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. The kidney is not accustomed to experiencing any pressure. When pressure builds from backed-up urine, the kidney may swell ( hydronephrosis ). If the kidney is subjected to this pressure for some time, it may cause damage to the delicate kidney structures. When the kidney stone is lodged further down the ureter, the backed-up urine may also cause the ureter to swell (hydroureter). Because the ureters are muscular tubes, the presence of a stone will make these muscular tubes spasm, causing severe pain.

Extractions: Most smaller stones (4-5 mm; 0.16-0.2 inches) will pass through your urinary system by themselves (80-85%). The location in the kidney, ureter and bladder, the shape of the stone, and if the stone has caused any blockage may help predict if you can safely pass the stone without help. Ideally, the stone moves through the ureter, drops into the bladder, and comes out in your urine. Stones that are larger, irregularly shaped, higher in the kidney, or causing a blockage may need to be broken up or taken out. Only 20-30% of people with kidney stones need this kind of treatment. Stones that your doctor or urologist thinks will pass on their own will be left to do so.

Extractions: Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Colds, aches, pains, and other ailments Kidney stones Originally Published: April 21, 1995 Alice, I think I am passing Kidney Stones. I have a lot of left sided pain, that are a lot like labor pains (in their timing/frequency). I have been to the hospital twice, they have ruled out UTI or anything else. They sent me home with a strainer, told me to strain my urine, and bring any hard objects to my physician. But, I have having trouble identifying them. WHAT DO KIDNEY STONES LOOK LIKE, AND HOW BIG ARE THEY Pebbles or avalanche? Dear Pebbles or avalanche, It is unlikely that you will have a myriad of hard objects in your urine, from which you will have to identify the kidney stones. Kidney stones appear as little pebbles in their smallest form of 0.2 inches (5 mm) in diameter, and these can be passed relatively easily through the urine. Large stones, when located in the ureter (tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder) or in the junction between the kidney and ureter, need to be surgically removed with general anesthesia, and stones in the lower ureter can be crushed and removed by cystoscopy (putting a viewing machine and crushing device up the urethra into the bladder). Anytime that you arrive home after a doctor's appointment and realize that there is something about your health that you don't understand, you should feel free to call back your doctor and ask questions. That's what providers are trained to do!

Every time I pass a stone the doctor tells me to follow a special diet. I follow the diet and still get kidney stones. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you. Signed, In pain Dear In pain, Kidney stones are one of the most common disorders of the urinary tract. Men tend to be affected more frequently than women; whites more than blacks; people aged twenty to forty more than those younger or older. Once a person gets more than one stone, he or she is likely to develop others. A kidney stone develops from crystals that separate from urine and build up on the inner surfaces of the kidney. Urine contains chemicals that normally prevent these crystals from forming. These chemicals don't work for everyone, however, and some people form stones. Doctors do not always know what causes a stone a form. While certain foods may promote stone formation in people who are susceptible, researchers do not believe that eating any specific food causes stones to form in people who are not suscept ible. Usually the first symptom of a kidney stone is extreme pain in the kidney area or lower abdomen. The pain often begins suddenly when a stone moves in the urinary tract, causing urination or blockage. Sometimes nausea or vomiting appear with this pain. Later, the pain may move to the groin. As the stone grows or moves, blood may be found in the urine. Other common symptoms include feeling the need to urinate more often or a burning sensation when urinating. Fever and chills accompanying any of these symptoms could signify an infection, and needs a clinician's immediate attention.
