KIDNEY STONES – STAGHORN CALCULI

Author: admin

They are large and irregular and are called staghorn calculi because of their shape. They may destroy part or all of the functioning kidney structure before detection.

Other stones are formed from uric acid when this chemical is increased both in the blood and the urine in gout.

A stone usually signals its presence by causing pain. This may occur when the stone attempts to move from the pelvis of the kidney.

A large stone lying in the pelvis, or irritating the area where the ureter or tube which carries the urine from the kidney to the bladder arises, can cause a constant dull pain in the loin and in the front of the abdomen just below the ribs.

If the stone enters the ureter and attempts to move down, it can cause severe pain.

Ureteric colic is regarded as being the most severe pain we can experience. It comes in spasms and may be felt in the loin, down the front of the abdomen and even into the testes and the front of the thigh.
