A member asked:
Why would someone be hospitalized for kidney stones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most often: For pain control +/- if the stone is too large to be expected to pass on its own. If the patient has an obstructing stone and superimposed infection this is also a potential reason for hospitalization.
