I was doing a search online for multiple kidney stones in both kidneys and came across your posting. I'm a 26 year old female with a family history of kidney stones. In Jan 09, I experienced a dull aching pain in my side that lasted for a couple weeks and then went away. I experienced something similar in late Feb 09 and after a week of this pain, I went to the clinic (I'm in the military). The dr couldn't find anything wrong and said I must ahve pulled an abdominal muscle.
Causes for the formation of renal colic can be inadequate hydration, diet comprising of animal fats and too much calcium, infections, errors in metabolism which lead to accumulation of some salts preparing a ground for the formation of stones in the kidney, malfunctioning of the kidney etc.
It is advised to get a ultrasound of abdomen done along with DMSA scan of both kidneys which would reveal the functioning capacity of the kidneys.
I am in my mid 30s and have never had health issues at all until this began and now I have constant stones in both kidneys... literally non-stop. Anyone else experience this and have all normal lab results? I am hardly eating any meat, drink 4Ls of water with lemon each day to get my pH at the perfect 7 (that is where my doc wants it), eat minimal dairy (no milk or eggs) and very low sodium.
t help. Thought I was passing stones but still in kidney. CT taken shows have more stones in both kidneys. Mass is just birth defect. Am going back to urologist on Wednesday- he was gone for the week. Pain has been pretty bad - there most of the time - varies in intensity. Bones are screaming again and stomach is hurting like did when had the hyperparathyroidism. Worse when the stones move around.
Here is a little of my history. I'm a 29 year old male. I was diagnosed with PKD (polycystic kidney disease) at the age of 18. Well this last week my kidney pain changed and I knew something was wrong. Couldn't get comfortable no matter what. Lots of pain. Comes in waves from my kidney to my lower abdomen even towards my bladder. Want to er where they did a CT and discovered several small stones in both kidneys and of course a ton of cysts.
Hello,
Yes bilateral nephrolithiasis i.e. stone formation in both the kidneys can be present at the same time. Kidney stones are of four types: calcium oxalate stones, struvite stones, uric acid stones or cystine stones. Potassium citrate is used for the treatment of stones.
I would suggest you to get an evaluation done from a urologist to determine the type of stone.
They said I had several calcium deposits in both kidneys, one in the right kidney is 3mm. I am wondering when I go see this new doctor they referred me to what will happen. And I destined for surgery no matter what? I have never had a diagnosed kidney stone before. I have had a lot of unexplained pelvic pain and back pain the last several years, could all these stones be the cause of this?
I have been suffering from chronic kidney stones for 19 years, multiple stones, multiple sizes in both kidneys. I hae not been stone free anytime since the first one passed in 1991. I hve had over 200 + stone related surgeries, everyone of them. I made 50 new stones from Nov. to Jan, this year. I am on my 3rd surgery since september now and awaiting another one due to an 8 mm stone.
I’m a 35 year old female with numerous kidney stones in both kidneys, which were first discovered 5 years ago when I was pregnant. I saw a urologist recommended no treatment since they were all small stones.
I had no symptoms from the stones over the last 5 years. Then during my last pregnancy, I began having blood visible in my urine and discovered that there were still stones in both kidneys, but they were now much larger.
I had PNL to remove stones from my right kidney.
I also have stones in both kidneys, and thanks to a recent lithotripsy I now have 2 new ones! I also experience the sharp vaginal pains at times, as well as the need to urinate constantly. I have had multiple scans and X-rays and the best the ER doctor could come up with is that the stones may become partially obstructed as if they are trying to pass out of the kidney, and they go back in rather then coming down. This is what he believes is causing the sharp pains.
m figuring that kidney stones take a while to form and that, if I have kidney stones and possibly an infection, it's likely that I had the kidney stones first and they contributed to the infection, rather that having an infection first that contributed to the kidney stones (sorry if this sounds confusing).
Anyone ever get kidney pain or kidney stones while pregnant? This is my 4th pregnancy and with every pregnancy I have had, I get really bad pain in my right kidney which later result in kidney stones it occures more then one time per pregnancy, my doctor says it's normal...

Vitamin A (not betacarotene) promotes healthy functioning of the urinary tract, so people who are deficient in it sometimes form kidney stones more easily than others. You’ll find vitamin A in most good general
multiple vitamin and mineral supplements (which you and everyone to take even when you
supplement with individual nutrients).
A week ago I was diagnosed with multiple small kidney stones in both kidneys by CT scan after seeing blood in my urine. There were no stones in the ureter or bladder. The urine now looks clear to my eye but my dip stick urine still shows a lot of microscopic blood. Will that blood ever completely disappear? And if so, how long will it take? Thank you.

Hi everyone! I am new on here but have read many questions and answers on here before and I really need some help. For 8 years I have been a kidney stone sufferer. I was always told how uncommon it was for a girl my age (first stones were at age 19,I am now 27) to have kidney stones and also plus because I am a woman and women don't tend to get them. I was never ever offered any help even after asking for advice from many doctors on what should I do??
Hello there,
Medullary sponge kidney is a condition in which cysts develop in the urine collecting ducts and tubules of one or both kidneys. The exact cause is not known. The common symptoms are pain in the back, haematuria, excessive amount of calcium in the urine. The complications are kidney stones, infection and kidney failure. Treatment is usually symptomatic. It is best to consult an urologist and get your doubts clarified. Do keep me posted with more queries.
Best wishes and regards!
Before you assume your kidney stone production is based on a magnesium deficiency, you need to have your labs and stone analized. An IVP of your kidney will help determine if you don't have a "sponge kidney".Medullary Sponge kidney is an anatomical defect in the kidney which produces multiple kidney stones within pockets of the kidneys. No amount of Magnesium will resolve that. So I wouldn't go messing with your chemistry until you know why.

m 26 years old and I have been suffering from multiple stones in both kidneys for quite some time. Since December I have had 3 CT Scans, numerous x-rays, ultrasounds, urine tests, bloodwork, and lithotripy during my multiple trips to the ER. I'm honestly back and forth to the hospital with severe stone pain once a week. Once there, my pain is treated and I am released once the pain is managable.
When she was finally diagnosed previously, after days of intense pain, the stones were still in the kidney, so her original stones caused pain for her before they ever moved out of the kidney.
She has had no other symptoms, and for now she is feeling great. She was a bit discouraged when we left the dr, wondering what in the world could "mimic" the stones, if it wasn't the stones.
