Kidney Stone
- Kidney stone disease, also known as urolithiasis, is when a solid piece of material (kidney stone) occurs in the urinary tract.
Types of Kidney Stones based on the Type of Crystals
- Calcium oxalate - the majority stones (Monohydrate or Dihydrate), - 80-85%
- Calcium phosphate stones
- Uric acid or Cystine stones - 5 – 10%
- Struvite (magnesium, ammonium and phosphate)
- Cystine
Cystine
- Colicky pain
- Hematuria: blood in the urine, due to minor damage to inside wall of kidney, ureter and/or urethra
- Pyuria: pus in the urine
- Dysuria: burning on urination when passing stones (rare). More typical of infection
- Oliguria: reduced urinary volume caused by obstruction of the bladder or urethra by stone, or extremely rarely, simultaneous obstruction of both ureters by a stone
- Abdominal distension
- Nausea/vomiting: embryological link with intestine– stimulates the vomiting center
- Fever and chills
- Hydronephrosis
- Postrenal azotemia: when kidney stone blocks urete
- Frequency in micturition: increase in number of voids per day (>than 5 times), but not polyuria, an increase of total urine output per day (2500 ml).
- Loss of appetite
- Loss of weight
Diagnosis of Kidney Stone
- X-rays
- Computed tomography (CT)
- Ultrasound (USG)
Treatments in modern science
- About 90% of stones (4 mm or less in size) usually pass spontaneously, however 99% of stones larger than 6 mm will require some form of intervention.
A. Hydration: Medication for treating infection and reducing pain
B. Diuretics: To encourage urine flow and prevent further stone formation
C. Analgesics (Pain killers)
- Intravenous administration of opioids (codeine, hydrocodone) in an emergency
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Dicofenac, paracetamol etc)
- Alpha adrenergic blocking agent (such as Flomax, Uroxatral, terazosin or doxazosin), to reduce the muscle tone of the ureter and facilitate stone passage
D. Urologic interventions
- Non-invasive: Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)
- Ureteroscopic fragmentation
- Percutaneous nephrolithotomy
- Open surgery

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a kidney stone and how does it form?
A kidney stone is a hard deposit formed from minerals and salts in the kidneys. It develops due to low water intake, high mineral concentration in urine, improper diet, urinary infections, and imbalance of Vata and Kapha dosha.
What are the common symptoms of kidney stones?
Common symptoms include severe pain in the lower back or abdomen, pain while passing urine, burning sensation, frequent urination, nausea, vomiting, blood in urine, and restlessness.
Can kidney stones be dissolved naturally through Ayurveda?
Yes. Ayurveda aims to break, dissolve, and expel kidney stones by correcting urine flow, reducing crystal formation, and balancing doshas. Many small to medium-sized stones can be managed effectively without surgery.
Is surgery always required for kidney stones?
No. Surgery is required only in cases of large stones, obstruction, severe infection, or kidney damage. Early-stage stones can often be treated with medicines, increased fluid intake, and dietary correction.
How long does it take to pass or dissolve a kidney stone with treatment?
Small stones may pass within a few weeks. Ayurvedic treatment generally shows improvement in pain and urinary symptoms within 7–15 days, while complete clearance may take a few weeks depending on stone size and composition.
