What are the symptoms of Kidney Stones ?

RSS Feeds   Text 
The most common symptom of kidney stones is severe back or abdominal pain. This may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. If you have a urinary tract infection as well, your symptoms may include fever, chills, sweats, and pain with urination.

Kidney stones and urinary tract infection can cause blood in the urine. Usually the blood is seen only with a microscope, but occasionally it is more obvious.

Some people have no kidney stone symptoms until they pass gravel-like stones in their urine. Others never have any symptoms, and their stones are found incidentally during testing for other problems.

This is really helpful for people who wants to treat and keep their kidney themselves. Therefore it would be very good if you continue and make wider lessons.
