Will Kidney Stone Cause Back Pain

2012-11-07 15:41

As its name indicates, kidney stone means stone in the kidney. There are many causes of forming stones in the kidneys such as hereditary factor, metabolic factor, infections, environment, diets and medicines, etc.

Under normal circumstances, the kidneys can discharge various metabolic wastes and toxins out of the body through urination and these wastes include urea, uric acid, creatinine, etc. If the urine output is little or if the balances and orders in urine are disturbed, stones can form in the kidneys and cause a series of clinical manifestations.

Kidney stones usually occur to young people of 20-50 and the male has 2-3 times higher incidence than the female and children has very low possibility to have kidney stones.

Back pain is one typical symptom of kidney stone and the pain is due to the obstruction of the urianry tract. Usually the pain will be sharpened at nights or after physical activities and this might due to the moving of the stone in the ureter and this can cause blood in urine, unbearable pain, vomitting, neasea, paleness, etc. After pain, there can be small stones found in urine.

Besides back pain, kidney stone can cause many other symptoms.

1. Hematuria. Hematuria is red blood cells leaked in urine and about 80% kidney stone patients have hamaturia. However most cases the hematuria is found through checking the urine and only a minority have gross hematuria.

2. If the stone is small in size, then it can be discharged through urination by drinking a lot of water and jumping. However if the stone is too large, it can not be discharged and might obstruct the renal pelvis and ureter. Long term obstruction can cause hypoxia and ischemia in the kidneys and affect the kidneys¡¯structure and functions.

3. Fever. Virus infections can cause kidney stone and the kidney stone in turn can cause infections in the kidneys. Because of the obstruction of the kidney stone, urine can not be passed and the virum can not be released and this can even cause sepsis or even threaten the patient¡¯life.
