Common Questions and Answers about Are kidney stones hereditary

UTI can also be due to the polycystic kidney disease as well. Kidney stones and kidney failure are late-stage symptoms of the disease. I suggest you an immediate urologist’s evaluation.
If the size of the stone is small, it’s usually treated with ESWL in which shock waves are given from outside and stone breaks into small pieces. On the other hand, if the stone is quite big, then the surgical removal of the stone is a better option.
Also her renal functions need to be studied.
m wondering if taking these vitamins will somehow hurt my kidneys or possibly cause me to get more kidney stones? In the past the stones were analyzed and were calcium deposits.
Heres what i'm taking:
B-Complex
Magnesium(500mg twice a day)
zinc (50mg)
2 multi mineral vitamins
Thanks everyone, I love this site.
not a professional but to me it sounds a lot like you have cystine kidney stones, which are hereditary. that's what I have and I've had 42 lipotripsy surgeries and five where they actually cut through your back. that's within the last 7 years. I too have lost jobs due to it. from experience no diet changes seem to help. you could see a nephrologist instead of an urologist.
Rushed to ER, where a CT scan was done. 3 stones were detected - one in ureter, and 2 in kidney. Doctor could not reach the stone so he ended up putting the stent and asked me to drink water (he predicted stones to be uric acid stones). Then I went for ultrasound every 10 days. 1st ultrasound said I have only 2 stones remaining. 2nd ultrasound said I had 1 stone of 6mm remaining. 3rd ultrasound said I had 1 stone of 8mm.

Cystine stones are hereditary, there are struvite, calcium oxalate and uric stones. Some of these can happen due to lots of urinary infections, from dehydration (which I do not think you have that with drinking all that water) and also from what you are eating.
Keep badgering your urologist. If you don't they will think you are fine, when you clearly are not.
Hope all goes well.
Best wishes.
t cause pain in the kidney, which is ********. Those of us that have chronic kidney stones are expected to pass them on our own because we should be used to the pain. Like I said, I am screwed and in pain all the time. And no one will treat me, even with proof that I have stones in both kidneys constantly and can even see The ones in my ureters trying to pass. Pretty stupid, don't you think? If anybody will treat me and help with the pain, let me know.
I had an ultra sound done and it turns out I have a fatty liver with a couple of kidney stones. My doctor seems more concerned with the kidney stones than my liver. No more drinking on a weekly basis any more and a balance diet has been order by the doctor. I asked my doctor if cirrhosis would be picked up on an ultra sound, but I didn't seem to get a straight answer from him. I guess doctors won't look any further unless there's additional symptoms.
I have other serious medical conditions, but they are taken second seat to my kidney problems at the moment. I have had approx. 15 diagnosed and treated kidney infections in the past 21 months, most treated with oral and IV Cypro. I had bilateral stents placed for 6 weeks in Feb. 2009, at which time they removed many stones from both kidneys, found a lot of calcification in both kidneys, and a lot of scarring and narrowing in both tubes, more so in the right.
my doctor is telling me i am fine but i still have blood in my urine for one day then go away and comeback latter in two weeks againg one of my doctors tell me its looks like left kidney stones then ill go to emergency ******* idiot ttelling me the kidney stone been passed on the right side the CT scan show i have no kidney stones and everything is normal yeah right everyother week ill hav eblood in my urine is not much but its a blood
In hospital for a month but came out of it. I was told and I have seen 10 kidney stones in right kidney and 12 in left kidney. Docs say they are calcified or as they put it (christy your kidneys are calcifying and lithotripsy won't work at this stage). I am 46 and have had these stones for 6 years. I get infections,smells, can't have xex cause of the odor, and cramps that make me feel I am still on my mensural.
It depends on what type of kidney stones you have... if you have stones that are a calcium based mixture (calcuim-oxalate for instance) then you should never take a calcium supplement. You would want to increase calcium in your diet through dairy products, etc. but calcium supplements are a definite no-no as they don't break down in your system the way the calcium in food does.
If you have any other type of stone such as uric or struvite, etc.
In the last month I had to go to the ER for kidney stones. After taking a CAT scan it showed that I have several stones still in my kidneys. I have an appointment with a kidney doctor who is a stone specialist according to my uroligist. However the appointment isn't until April. So i am sitting here hoping not to have another problem until then. Anyone had the same problem as me. As for my stones most are very small (2 mm).
I got my stones for the first time while pregnant. It was miserably painful! I guess I passed it because it settled off and the pain went away. Then when my baby was about 6 months old, I had one move in my other kidney. It was miserable again. After much running, walking, bouncing, and flooding my system with water, I finally passed it right before the urologist got his chance to fish it out! I was sooo relieved!
