I am not sure if those materials seen in the urine are related to your kidney stones. An examination of the urine sediment may give some hints. However, if stone(s) is (are) still detected by US or CT, lithotripsy is still indicated, Take care!

'skin material' is not kidney stone. That is actually like a stone or gravel. ESWL is effective in some kind of stones and not in others depending on size. position, composition etc. Best judged by your Urologist. Drink plenty of water
