What causes kidney stones ?
The kidneys regulate levels of fluid, minerals, salts, and other substances in the body. When the balance of these compounds
changes, kidney stones may form.
Having one or more family members with a history of kidney stones increases the risk of the condition.
Symptoms of kidney stones ?
- Pain that comes in waves and fluctuates in intensity.
- Pain on urination.
- Pink, red or brown urine.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Persistent need to urinate.
- Fever and chills if an infection is present.
Infection :
- Kidney stones can cause infection, particularly if the stone is blocking the flow of urine. Fever, often with flank pain, is a sign of potential kidney infection.
- Kidney infections can be very dangerous and must be treated right away.
- Intravenous antibiotics and placement of a tube to drain the blocked kidney will help the kidney infection to resolve safely.
