Will kidney stones cause hematuria symptoms?

Kidney stones can cause hematuria, which is also a common symptom of kidney stones. When this symptom occurs, it is recommended that patients take lithotripsy treatment measures in time according to their condition, and also drink plenty of water to help expel stones.

If kidney stones cause hematuria, the stones may have fallen into the ureter. The stones will irritate the ureteral mucosa and cause hematuria. Perform color ultrasound examination in time and use extracorporeal lithotripsy or surgical treatment according to the location of the stones.

General treatment

(1) Drinking plenty of water may help push and flush small stones out with large amounts of urine. Increased urine output can also help control infection.

(2) Antispasmodic and analgesic M-type cholecystokinin receptor blockers can relax ureteral smooth muscles and relieve spasms. The usual dose is 20 mg. Intramuscular injection of progesterone can inhibit the contraction of smooth muscle and relieve spasm, and has a certain effect on pain relief and stone removal. The calcium channel blocker nifedipine has a certain effect on relieving renal colic. Alpha receptor blockers have a certain effect in relieving ureteral smooth muscle spasm and treating renal colic.

(3) Control infection. Urinary tract obstruction caused by stones is prone to infection, and magnesium ammonium phosphate stones often form in infected urine. This vicious cycle makes the condition worse. In addition to actively removing stones to relieve obstruction, antibiotics should be used to control or prevent urinary tract infections.

Pay attention to a balanced diet, do not eat acidic and calcium-containing foods together, and do not drink raw water. For example: spinach and tofu, green onions and tofu cannot be eaten together. Spinach and green onions contain high oxalic acid, while tofu contains high calcium. Also, doing more jumping exercises, such as skipping rope, is beneficial.
