Kidney Stone: When to Take It Seriously
Kidney stones (also called renal calculi or nephrolithiasis) are hard mineral and salt deposits that form inside your kidneys. They can affect any part of your urinary tract — from your kidneys to your bladder.
When stones are small, they may pass on their own. But larger stones cause severe pain, block urine flow, and can permanently damage the kidney if left untreated. Early treatment is critical.
At Satyadev Super Speciality Hospital, Patna, we have successfully treated over 5,000+ kidney stone cases using the latest minimally invasive techniques — most patients go home within 24–48 hours.
Signs & Symptoms of Kidney Stones
Recognising these symptoms early can prevent complications. If you experience any of these, consult a urologist immediately.
Severe Back or Side Pain
Intense, sharp pain on one side of the back, below the ribs — often described as the worst pain imaginable. Pain can come in waves.
Blood in Urine (Hematuria)
Pink, red, or brown coloured urine. Urine may look cloudy. This is a direct sign of kidney stone irritating the urinary tract lining.
Frequent / Painful Urination
Constant urge to urinate, burning sensation during urination, difficulty passing urine, or only passing small amounts at a time.
Nausea & Vomiting
Kidney stone pain often triggers nausea and vomiting. This happens because the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract share nerve connections.
Fever & Chills
Fever with kidney stone pain is a medical emergency — it signals a kidney infection (pyelonephritis). Seek emergency care immediately.
Groin or Abdomen Pain
As the stone moves through the ureter, pain travels to the lower abdomen and groin. Some patients also experience pressure in the lower back.
What Causes Kidney Stones?
Understanding the cause helps with treatment and prevention. Multiple factors contribute to stone formation.
Low Water Intake
Drinking less than 2 litres of water per day is the single biggest risk factor. Concentrated urine allows minerals to crystallise and form stones.
High Salt & Protein Diet
Excess salt increases calcium in urine. High animal protein raises uric acid. Both dramatically increase kidney stone risk.
Family History
If a parent or sibling has had kidney stones, your risk is significantly higher. Certain inherited metabolic disorders cause recurrent stones.
Obesity & Diabetes
Obesity changes acid levels in urine. Insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes reduces urine pH, promoting uric acid stone formation.
Urinary Tract Infections
Repeated UTIs can lead to struvite stones (infection stones), which grow quickly and can fill the entire kidney if not treated promptly.
Certain Medications
Calcium-based antacids, certain diuretics, vitamin D supplements in excess, and some HIV medications can increase stone formation risk.
How Kidney Stones Are Diagnosed
At Satyadev Hospital, we use advanced imaging and lab tests to precisely locate your stone, measure its size, and plan the most effective treatment.
Blood & Urine Tests
Complete blood count, serum creatinine, uric acid levels, and urine microscopy to detect infection, blood, and crystal types.
Ultrasound Scan
First-line imaging to detect stone location and check for hydronephrosis (kidney swelling). Available 24×7 at our hospital.
CT KUB Scan
Non-contrast CT scan is the gold standard — detects even tiny stones (1–2mm), measures exact size, and shows precise location in the urinary tract.
X-Ray (KUB)
Used to monitor calcium-containing stones over time. Also used to confirm stone passage after treatment.
Kidney Stone Treatment Methods We Offer
Treatment depends on stone size, location, type, and your overall health. Dr. Rajesh Ranjan recommends the best approach for each patient individually.
Medical Management (Conservative)
For small stones (less than 5–6mm) that are likely to pass on their own with medications and high fluid intake.
- ✓Increased water intake (3+ litres/day)
- ✓Alpha-blocker medications to relax ureter
- ✓Pain management with analgesics
- ✓Regular monitoring with imaging
Laser Kidney Stone Surgery (URSL/RIRS)
A flexible ureteroscope is passed through the urethra. A Holmium laser breaks the stone into fine powder that flushes out naturally.
- ✓No cuts or incisions on the body
- ✓Discharge in 1–2 days
- ✓Suitable for stones in ureter or kidney
- ✓Very high success rate (>95%)
PCNL Surgery (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy)
For large or complex kidney stones, a small puncture is made in the back to directly access the kidney and remove the stone.
- ✓Handles very large stones (>20mm)
- ✓Single small incision (less than 1cm)
- ✓Complete stone clearance in one session
- ✓Shorter recovery vs open surgery
ESWL (Shock Wave Lithotripsy)
High-energy shock waves are focused on the stone from outside the body, breaking it into small pieces that pass through urine.
- ✓Completely non-invasive
- ✓No anaesthesia required in most cases
- ✓Outpatient procedure
- ✓May need repeat sessions
What Happens During Laser Kidney Stone Surgery
Step-by-step walkthrough of what to expect on the day of your kidney stone laser surgery at Satyadev Hospital.
Pre-Surgery Preparation
Blood tests, urine culture, ECG and anaesthesia evaluation done 1 day before. You will be asked to fast for 6–8 hours before surgery.
⏱ 1 day beforeAnaesthesia Administration
Spinal or general anaesthesia is given so you feel no pain. Our anaesthesiologist — Dr. Amrita Sinha — monitors you throughout.
⏱ 10–15 minutesUreteroscope Insertion
A thin, flexible ureteroscope is passed through the urethra and bladder into the ureter or kidney — completely naturally, no cuts needed.
⏱ 5–10 minutesLaser Stone Fragmentation
A Holmium laser fibre breaks the stone into fine powder or tiny fragments without damaging surrounding tissue.
⏱ 30–60 minutesStent Placement & Recovery
A small DJ stent is placed to keep the ureter open. You recover in the ward and are typically discharged the next day.
⏱ Discharge in 24–48 hrs
Recovery After Kidney Stone Surgery
Most patients recover quickly and return to normal life within a week. Here's what to expect:
Hospital Stay: 1–2 Days
For laser surgery; PCNL may require 3–4 days. Monitored for pain, urine output, and infection signs.
Return to Normal Activities: 3–7 Days
Most patients resume light work within 3–5 days. Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for 2 weeks.
Stent Removal: After 2–4 Weeks
The DJ stent is removed in a simple OPD procedure — no anaesthesia required.
Prevention: Drink 3+ Litres Daily
Adequate hydration is the best way to prevent recurrence. Dietary changes may also be recommended based on stone type.
Follow-Up: At 2 Weeks & 3 Months
Ultrasound or X-ray to confirm stone clearance. Blood and urine tests to check kidney function.
