Stone is located not only in kidneys (right or left side or maybe both sides) but also in ureters or bladder. Kidney stone can experience a backache, abdominal pain, bloody and cloudy urine, fever and another bad feelings.

How to detect kidney stone?

Sometimes, plain photo abdomen x-ray can detect it if the stone in radioopaque shadow (white sign), but radioluscent (gray/black sign) is difficult to be visualized. It’s also influenced by the size of stone, gas existence and feces within upper abdominal area and so on. The easier ways to detect it is with Abdominal Ultrasound and IVP (Intra Venous Pyelography).

With BNO-IVP, the stone size and location is blatantly seen, because contrast media is injected into vein to show the anatomy and flow of urinary system. Step by step x-ray images within time (for example 7 minutes, 15, 25, 45 and post-voiding), the Doctor can uphold the right diagnosis. Some requisition Doctors will check also for the blood and urine in Laboratory to make sure the type and chemical structure of the stone and any infection possibility.

4. Big surgery is the last effort if the other medical treatments are not effective and still make the patients feel severe painful.

Every option choices depend on the patient health condition, size & location of kidney stone, anatomy of urinary system and maybe the budget required for the treatment. Please avoid the big surgery as long as kidney stone is still treated from outside the body like Extra Corporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy.
