Some dissolved substances in the urine of normal people can precipitate due to various reasons, remain in the kidney, and continue to grow, which can form stones. Renal stones often occur in middle-aged and middle-aged adults, with more males than females. Kidney stones may exist for a long time without symptoms, especially for larger stones. Smaller stones have a larger range of activity. When small stones enter the ureteropelvic junction or ureter, they cause severe peristalsis of the ureter, which promotes the discharge of the stones, leading to colic and hematuria. The pain caused by kidney stones can be divided into dull pain and colic. 40% -50% of patients have a history of intermittent pain. Pain is often located in the waist and abdomen, mostly paroxysmal or persistent. Some pain may only manifest as soreness and discomfort in the lower back, and activity or labor can promote the onset or worsening of the pain. Renal stone colic presents as severe knife like pain, often sudden onset, and the pain often radiates to the lower abdomen, groin, or medial thigh, while in women, it radiates to the labia. When renal colic occurs, the patient presents an acute appearance, curling up in bed, pressing his abdomen or waist with both hands, and even rolling on the bed, groaning. The attack often lasts for several hours, but can also be relieved in a few minutes. When renal colic is severe, the complexion is pale, and cold sweats occur throughout the body. The pulse is thin and rapid, and even blood pressure drops, presenting as a state of collapse, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and constipation. When colic attacks, urine volume decreases, and after colic is relieved, there may be polyuria. Hematuria is another major symptom of kidney stones. When in pain, it is often accompanied by naked eye hematuria or microscopic hematuria, with the latter being the majority. Large amounts of naked eye hematuria are not common, and hematuria can worsen after physical activity. Patients with kidney stones can excrete sand and stones in their urine, especially during pain and hematuria, when there are mixed sand particles or small stones in the urine. When stones pass through the urethra, obstruction or stinging occurs. The common complications of kidney stones are obstruction and infection, and many cases seek medical attention due to symptoms of urinary tract infections. Obstruction may lead to hydronephrosis, epigastrium or lumbar mass.
