Question 1

ecoli in urine and 8 mm kidney stone ?

Accepted Answer

Urine culture: you should have urine culture and be treated with antibiotic if urine culture is positive and for kidney stone if CT revealed obstruction stone should be remove.

Question 2

8 mm kidney stone in right ureter with hydrophrosis.  now have symptoms of uti. headache and dizziness. should i go er?

Accepted Answer

UTI: You have symptoms of uti AND headaches and dizziness or you are considering those symptoms of UTI?  An obstructing stone does put you at increased risk of UTI and complications of UTI so if you are running fever you do need to be seen quickly.

Question 3

what are the chances of a 9.8 mm obstructive kidney stone passing on its own?

Accepted Answer

Not so great...: Chance of stone passage decreases with increasing stone size.  In one report I found of 172 patients with ureteral stones, the likelihood of spontaneous stone passage was 87 percent for 1 mm stones, 76 percent of 2 to 4 mm stones, 60 percent for 5 to 7 mm stones, 48 percent for 7 to 9 mm stones, and 25 percent of stones ≥9 mm.

Question 4

hi, i have a kidney stone of 8 mm in right uretreric calculus at vu junction. it is possible to pass through urine..pl suggest.

Accepted Answer

Possible but hard: 8mm is a good size stone first make sure it is not blocking the kidney next you could passed it but very painful find out if they can crush it with a machine or grab it with a basket

Question 5

is a 3 mm kidney stone large?

Accepted Answer

No: That would be less than an eighth of an inch. Of course if it got into your ureter and you were passing it you would think it was a boulder.

Question 6

can a 6.4 mm kidney stone pass?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: It is possible to pass a 6.4mm stone.  Stone passage is related to stone size and stone location.
Stones of this size have an approximately 50% chance of pasing spontaneously.  Medication might help. Otherwise, lithotripsy might be necessary.  Discuss with your urologist.

Question 7

how to remove 9 mm kidney stone?

Accepted Answer

ESWL,fluids,etc.: Whatever can dissolve or break down the stone is used to remove it.  For example, eawl or extracorporial shock wave lithotripsy use shock waves to break up the stone from outside the body.  Meanwhile patients are encouraged to drink plenty of fluids to hopefully pass the stone on the urine.  If these and other things fail then surgery might be done, as a last option.

Question 8

can a 7.5 mm kidney stone be passed?

Accepted Answer

No: This is too large to pass. In general, stones less than 5 mm in size should be given an opportunity to pass. Patients can be advised that stones less than 4 mm in size generally pass within one to two weeks. A 7.5 mm stone should be referred to a urologist for treatment options.

Question 9

kidney stone in lower pole of 10.5 mm?

Accepted Answer

Won't Pass: The stone is too big to pass.  It may never bother you if it stays in the lower pole.  If it moves it will obstruct and will require an intervention.  Try and find out why you make stones since uric acid stones can shrink in an alkaline environment.  Also, if the stone is calcium decreasing urinary calcium may prevent the stone from enlarging.   See a urologist, lithotripsy may be of benefit.

Question 10

is it possible to pass a six mm kidney stone?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Several factors, mainly stone size and patient anatomy, determine if a stone can pass.  Above ~5mm, the risk rises sharply that a stone gets stuck in the ureter and requiring intervention.  But the largest stone i've seen passed was 16mm (!) in a pregnant woman.  Bottom line is nobody can predict this with certainty.  Stay hydrated and  see a urologist, so you have someone to help if/when needed.
