This has helpful medical information
that your doctor would be able to understand and discuss with you about
more uncommon causes:

Its important to remember that kidney stones are not uncommon
and are easily treatable if followed up on. The other conditions
are clinically rare.
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
You must try and find a good nephrologist. Recurrent kidney stones are found renal tubular acidosis, medullary sponge kidney, Dent's disease (genetic disease of the kidney), hyperparathyroidism, primary hyperoxaluria and Crohn's disease. For oxalate stones you need to restrict (not totally stop) foods which are high in oxalate like beans, legumes, dark green leaves, egg plant, spinach, beets, chocolates, wheat barn, rhubarb and nuts and fruit cake.
I do have multiple medical problems that being treated, which include kidney stones. My labs are good except my K+, which is low. Do you think that there is any risk in genetic testing and do you think that there is any need to test? hx htn, atypical migraines, complex partial seizures, kidney stones and diarrhea with bx noncaseating granulomas. My mother has had thyroidectomy, noncancerous, rt adrenal adenoma( active) not pheo, high calcium, hot pituitary per my sister.
Kidney stones, for example. Kidney disease. Anatomy that is unusually shaped. You could have a genetic predisposition. Men should also have their prostate checked if they have chronic UTI's as that is a common cause of this recurrence.
Not sure why anyone would opt to not treat a UTI since they are uncomfortable. They 'can' clear by themselves from time to time but if you have chronic uti's, the underlying reasons should be investigated.
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Recurrent kidney infection can be due to diabetes, some anomaly or defect in the kidney or due to the organisms developing antibiotic resistance. Recurrent kidney stones are found renal tubular acidosis, medullary sponge kidney, Dent's disease (genetic disease of the kidney), hyperparathyroidism, primary hyperoxaluria and Crohn's disease.
Since the pain comes before periods too, it can also be due to endometriosis.
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.

Hi!
Recurrent kidney stones are found renal tubular acidosis, medullary sponge kidney, Dent's disease (genetic disease of the kidney), hyperparathyroidism, primary hyperoxaluria and Crohn's disease. Diet high in animal fiber, dehydration, and low calcium intake can also cause recurrence of stones.
Please discuss these possibilities with your doctor and see if you suffer from any of these disorders. Treating these would help reduce pain.
Medullary sponge kidney (MSK) is a birth defect of the tubules inside the kidneys and may cause hematuria, kidney stones, and urinary tract infections. A referral to a kidney doctor or nephrologist may help. Treatment for MSK involves managing UTIs, removing kidney stones, and preventing recurrent infections and stones. Take care and do keep us posted.
Hi,
If you are referring to stage 1 chronic kidney disease, and your estimated GFR or Glomerular Filtration Rate is around 90, this suggests that there is normal kidney function but urine findings or structural abnormalities or genetic trait point to kidney disease. Management include observation, control of blood pressure and risk factors. Regular monitoring of creatinine, urinary protein, cholesterol may be done.
the stones so they can analyze them) is the constituents of the stones. I believe a common kidney stone is made up of calcium oxylate. If your stone has some other makeup, it can be telling as to the cause of your condition. The majority of mine was not calcium oxylate, but the "lead" that gave the docs turned out to be a dead end, so I guess all my efforts to catch that little bugger were for naught. Ah well, at least I got to see my foe!!
Sigh.
I suffer from what is called Polycystic Kidney Disease (google it) which causes chronic kidney stones. Many people have this disease with no signs until they are much older. When their kidneys begin to fail them. The main symptom is high blood pressure beginning as a young adult. why? Because your kidneys are working too hard fighting off the cysts and they are not filtering correctly. I was diagnosed with PKD in July last year after a car accident.
This past friday at 1:20am I was rushed to the ER from sudden back pain that was unbearable I was so scared for my baby.. Came to the conclusion it's kidney stones and I became more terrified because there's not many pain killers they could give me other than tylenol and morphine, so about the last one I asked if it was ok for my baby, first they said not sure!!
I ended up developing Chronic Kidney Disease (totally unrelated to the surgery - more likely a genetic component). I do wonder if perhaps I should have learned to live with the pain. But I am the queen of freak reactions. I really do have infinently bad luck. I think my situation happens in less than 1% of cases.
If there was no renal problems in your family history and surgery is presented as an option - I'd do it again.
Hi,
Kidney stones form when the components of urine are out of balance. When this happens, the urine contains more crystal-forming substances, such as calcium and uric acid. Kidney stones are also prone to develop in highly acidic or highly alkaline urine. Sometimes, the underlying cause is an inherited metabolic disorder or kidney disease. Gout, inflammatory bowel disease and some medications promote specific types of kidney stones.
There is actually some new testing that is genetic testing to see if someone has a genetic link to kidney disease. Pretty elaborate but available. You should ask your doctor about this. University hospitals may be able to provide this. What disease did your siblings have or what was the reason they had kidney failure?

lithrotripsy is a walk in the park ive had 2 of them and have kidney stones since 1995!!
Hi all, I'm hoping some of you may have some advice or insight for me. Im a 32 yo otherwise healthy woman with a history of kidney stones, kidney infections and uti's. Ive had stones since the age of 18 and up until about 4 years ago i would only get them once or twice a year and they were always small enough to pass. At 28 i had my first stone that needed lithotripsy. Since then they've become much more frequent. This last 10 mos it has been at its absolute worst though.
