Kidney Stones: It is common to have stones in the kidney. Stones can be in one or both kidneys. At the same time, there can be many small stones in one kidney. Many times, due to pain or any other reason, due to tests, stones are detected in the kidney, while it also happens that people do not know about the stone for years. However, due to the absence of any specific symptoms, people tend to neglect the stone and leave it lying in the kidney until there is no problem. Although it is dangerous to do so. The stone lying in the kidney can cause the kidney to fail.
Professor and Head of the Department of Nephrology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi, Dr. Sanjay Kumar Agarwal say that a kidney stone can cause kidney failure. Does it matter how many years, months, or days old the kidney stone is? Either this stone lying in the kidney causes movement or pain or it is lying silently. The thing to keep in mind is that the stone lying silent in the kidney can cause kidney failure, so it is necessary to take measures to remove the stone as soon as possible.
The kidney can fail in just a few months
Dr. Sanjay says that if the stone lying in the kidney is causing obstruction in the release of urine, or if there is an infection around the stone in the kidney or any other such problem is coming, then in such a condition 5- Not 10 years, but kidney can fail in five to six months due to stone.
People make this mistake
Dr. Sanjay says that do not wait for any symptoms of kidney-related problems. Suppose you had kidney pain 5 or 10 years ago, when it was examined, it was found to be a stone, whether it was removed from the treatment or not, then you got relief at that time. After this people become careless towards the stone, they say that there is no problem, then why get it checked? This is the biggest mistake. Do not take kidney stones lightly. Make sure to get the information about the stone by getting regular checkups done.
