Kidney stones** need to be decided according to the severity of the patient**, and the cost of stones** varies greatly. This is related to the patient's own condition, time, degree, method, etc. In the past, the traditional ** was often used because of the problem of anti-operation, which led to high costs.

What should I do if the pain of kidney stones is unbearable? How much do kidney stones** cost? This is probably something that many patients and their families want to know, so you might as well check out this article.

Generally speaking, kidney stones can cause excruciating pain in the lower back when they occur. Of course, not all kidney stones cause low back pain, and some kidney stones are basically asymptomatic. The main reasons why kidney stones can cause low back pain are that two things happen:

One is that the stone moves in the renal pelvis and ureter, and when it reaches the stricture, it is easy to scratch the mucous membrane, causing local severe pain; The second is that the sudden incarceration of the stone leads to edema or inflammation of the calyceal wall, which causes pain. There may be many people who think that the bigger the stone, the more obvious the back pain, but in fact, this is not the case, most of the time, the large stone is not painful, but the small stone is unbearable.

What to do about kidney stone pain? It is recommended to go to a regular hospital as soon as possible. If you don't go to the hospital, it will delay the opportunity, and it is easy to damage the kidneys, and the gains outweigh the losses.

What's more serious is that once the kidney stone falls into the ureter or kidney door, it is blocked and causes obstruction, which is easy to cause severe renal effusion, renal failure and other symptoms, which seriously endangers physical health. Therefore, once a kidney stone causes pain, one should go to the hospital as soon as possible to receive it**.

At present, the most advanced methods for kidney stones mainly include drug stone expulsion, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy surgery, ureteroscopic lithotripsy surgery, percutaneous nephrolithotripsy surgery, etc. For patients, they may be more concerned about how much each of these methods costs.

Generally speaking, the drug expulsion of ** is relatively cheap, about a few hundred dollars. Because it does not pass stones immediately after taking the stone expulsion medication, it takes a period of time (a few days or weeks or even longer), so it is not suitable for patients with more urgent conditions.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy surgery is more expensive than drug stone expulsion, ranging from 1 yuan to 2,000 yuan. If the stone is large and a secondary lithotripsy may be required, then it will add some costs.

The cost of ureteroscopic lithotripsy surgery is a step up from the two ** methods mentioned above, and it is conservatively estimated that it will cost thousands of dollars. Since patients with kidney stones need anesthesia when undergoing this surgery, and they need to be hospitalized for anti-inflammatory injections after surgery, it is naturally much more expensive.

Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy is currently the most advanced minimally invasive surgical stone removal technique, and the cost is relatively expensive, which should be around 10,000 yuan.

The type of lithotripsy is related to the type of surgery and the size of the stone. If it is a single ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy, the general ** cost is about 10,000 yuan.

If it is a single percutaneous nephroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy, the cost is generally around 10,000 yuan. However, if the patient's stone volume is relatively large, flexible ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephroscopy surgery cannot complete lithotripsy, and a second-stage operation is required, so that the cost of the entire operation will increase significantly. For flexible ureteroscopy, some patients need to indwell a ureteral stent for ureteral dilation in the first stage because the ureteral condition is not mature enough, which may also increase the cost of flexible ureteroscopy.

Kidney stone. There are different surgical methods for lithotripsy, the common types of surgery and ** are as follows:

1. Extracorporeal lithotripsy, extracorporeal lithotripsy is relatively simple, generally lithotripsy is about 500 to 800 yuan at a time, and the situation of calculi needs to be rechecked after extracorporeal lithotripsy, because the effect of extracorporeal lithotripsy is not obvious in some patients, and if the calculus remains in the kidney, the calculus needs to be removed by other methods.

2. Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithotripsy surgery is relatively complicated, and relevant examinations should be improved before surgery, generally between 12,000 and 15,000 lithotripsy at a time.
