Home / Kidney Ureter and Bladder Stone Disease (RIRS /  URS / PCNL)

What is Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Stone Disease?

  • Kidney Stones: Solid masses that form in the kidneys due to high concentrations of minerals and salts.
  • Ureter Stones: Stones that travel from the kidneys to the ureter, causing pain and blockages.
  • Bladder Stones: Hard masses formed in the bladder, often due to urine retention or urinary tract infections (UTIs).
  • Importance of Treatment: Untreated stone disease can cause severe pain, infection, and long-term kidney damage, requiring immediate medical attention.

Causes of Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Stones

  • Dehydration: Insufficient water intake leads to concentrated urine, promoting stone formation.
  • Dietary Factors: High salt, calcium, and oxalate intake can contribute to stone formation.
  • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Chronic infections increase the risk of bladder stones.
  • Genetic Predisposition: Family history of kidney stones can increase the likelihood of developing stones.
  • Obstructions: Conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can lead to urinary retention, increasing the risk of bladder stones.

Symptoms of Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Stones

  • Severe Pain: Sharp, cramping pain in the back, side, or abdomen, often radiating to the groin.
  • Hematuria (Blood in Urine): Presence of blood in the urine due to stone movement.
  • Frequent Urination: Urinary urgency or pain during urination, particularly with bladder stones.
  • Nausea and Vomiting: Occurs due to severe pain or blockage in the urinary tract.
  • Urinary Retention: Difficulty in passing urine due to blockages caused by large stones.

  • Ideal for smaller kidney stones or those located in hard-to-reach areas.

2. URS (Ureterorenoscopy):

  • A small camera is inserted into the ureter to locate and remove stones. It’s effective for stones in the ureter.
  • It avoids incisions and requires only local anesthesia.

3. PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy):
