Stone Problem and of Kidney stones

July 20th, 2007

Tiny stones may be asymptomatic and pass through the urinary stream unnoticed. Larger stones cause intense episodes of pain as they move downwards via the urinary tract, in an attempt to be expelled during urination. Irritation of the lining of the kidney, the ureter or bladder can lead to the presence of blood in the urine. If there is associated infection, fever and episodes of shivering accompany the pain. Natural resolution by passing of the stone is not universal and in some, the stone fails to pass, usually because it is too large and causes complications such as blockage of the urinary tract, infections and kidney damage.
