What are the typical symptoms of kidney calculi?

There is generally no obvious adverse reaction at the initial stage of kidney calculi's illness, but with the continuous development of the disease, symptoms such as dull pain or swelling in the waist may gradually appear, and in severe cases, colic may occur and radiate to the vulva and lower abdomen. At the same time, urine can be abnormal, including hematuria and dysuria, decreased urine volume and other symptoms, sometimes stones can be discharged, but also a variety of systemic reactions.

Clinically, many kidney calculi patients were diagnosed and treated only after a long-term onset. At this time, the volume of stones is generally large, and the difficulty of solidification will be greatly increased. Therefore, it is necessary to know the possible adverse symptoms caused by kidney calculi, so as to find and treat them in time at the early stage. So what are the symptoms of kidney calculi?

1, local pain

Kidney calculi may not cause obvious adverse reactions at the initial stage of the disease, especially if it does not cause obstruction or infection of renal pelvis and calyx, it may remain asymptomatic. However, as the stones grow up, there may be a dull pain or discomfort in the waist. If the stone moves, it may irritate the ureter and renal calyx, and then unbearable colic may occur, which will radiate to the lower abdomen and vulva.

2. Abnormal urine

Because kidney calculi will cause great irritation to kidneys and ureters, it will induce a series of abnormal urine symptoms. Among them, hematuria is more common, which is caused by excessive friction and injury of stones to renal tubular mucosa, and can be manifested as gross hematuria in severe cases. At the same time, many patients will be accompanied by a variety of urinary symptoms such as decreased urine volume, dysuria and slight proteinuria.

3. Stone dumping phenomenon

When kidney calculi has a dull pain in the waist and hematuria, stones will be discharged, that is, when he urinates, he will find that the urine is mixed with stones like small grains of sand, which can be directly observed by the naked eye. Stones may tingle when passing through the urethra, but they will be eliminated immediately after discharge, and patients will feel very relaxed and comfortable.

4. Systemic symptoms

Kidney calculi can often cause a variety of systemic adverse symptoms, especially when complicated with infection, such as fever, chills, abdominal distension and vomiting. The mental state of a small number of patients will be affected, and they may feel irritable and anxious because of the onset of symptoms. In addition, after hydronephrosis induced by stone obstruction, a large piece can be felt at the waist.
