Kidney stone symptoms
Symptoms of kidney stones include:
- Colicky pain: “loin to groin”. Often described as “the worst pain [...] ever experienced”.
- Hematuria: blood in the urine, due to minor damage to inside wall of kidney, ureter and/or urethra.
- Pyuria: pus in the urine.
- 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.
- Abdominal distention.
- Nausea/vomiting: embryological link with intestine—stimulates the vomiting center.
- Fever and chills.
