History and Symptoms

Symptoms of kidney stones include:

  • Colicky flank pain: "loin to groin". Often described as the "the worst pain I've ever experienced"[1]
  • Hematuria: blood in the urine, due to minor damage to inside wall of kidney, ureter and/or urethra
  • 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.
  • Nausea/ vomiting: embryological link with intestine — stimulates vomiting center
