What tests are necessary for kidney stones?

B-mode ultrasound is necessary, depending on the condition, pyvellisography, urinalysis, renal function, electrocardiogram, coagulation function may be necessary (the basis for the choice of drug**, or lithotripsy**, or surgery**), and CT or magnetic resonance imaging is not necessary.

It is recommended not to go to a private hospital for diagnosis in the future**.

For the examination of kidney stones, ultrasound is the best test because it is cheap and accurate. If it is my patient, only ask for B ultrasound examination and urine routine examination, sometimes only B ultrasound examination, urine routine does not matter, as long as the B ultrasound examination is a stone, it is fine, because the use of Chinese medicine ** fossil dissolved stone anti-inflammatory is the same Chinese medicine. (with or without inflammation).

Those who can do so many inspections are not necessarily private. Whether you have been fooled or not, you need to see your B-ultrasound examination report. For additional stones, lithotripsy should not be done in vitro.

A urinary ultrasound is sufficient, but it cannot be simply seen, it needs to be viewed in detail, and it is necessary to understand the size and shape of the kidney, whether there are other lesions, whether there are structural abnormalities, and the specific number, size, and location of the stones, such as in the renal calyce, or the renal pelvis, or the collection system. Such a detailed examination is not the case in a specialized stone disease hospital.

I don't know if it's normal to urinate? Kidney stones do B ultrasound, urine routine, kidney function, electrocardiogram, coagulation function these tests, the stones are not big, with drugs ** plus a lot of water can be used. You must have been fooled.

There are some private hospitals like this. When choosing a hospital, you should choose a larger, longer-established hospital! Don't trust those small private hospitals.

1. Ultrasound examination: ultrasound can find kidney stones above 2mm, including uric acid stones with X-ray penetration, and can also find out whether there is hydronephrosis. Ultrasound of nephrolithiasis shows a strong echogenic photomass with acoustic shadow in the renal collecting system, with or without dilation of the renal pelvis and calyceses; Clause.

2. Abdominal radiograph: about 90% of kidney stones are opaque stones, and dense shadows can be shown on abdominal radiograph. Plain abdominal radiographs can preliminarily determine the presence or absence of kidney stones, as well as the location, number, shape and size of kidney stones, and preliminarily indicate the chemical properties of the stones; Third, CT examination:

Noncontrast CT scan is accurate and rapid in diagnosing kidney stones, and can detect small stones that may have been missed in other imaging tests.

Kidney stones can be diagnosed by urinalysis, abdominal x-ray, kidney ultrasound, color ultrasound and other tests. If the patient has kidney stones, there may be macroscopic hematuria, frequent urination, urgency, waist and abdominal pain and other symptoms, at this time go to the hospital for testing, you can do a urine routine test, observe whether there are white blood cells and red blood cells in the urine, and do B ultrasound test, can clearly diagnose the size and location of the stone in the kidney area.

At present, the most accurate examination for kidney stones is CT examination, and if it is combined with color ultrasound examination, the stone will basically not be missed. Therefore, for patients with kidney stones, doctors usually recommend that they do color ultrasound examination first, and then CT examination if necessary, which will be more accurate.

The examination methods of nephrolithiasis are: 1. Based on imaging examination, ultrasound examination of kidney stones, as long as it can be found under X-ray, with the increase of ultrasound resolution, kidney stones with a diameter of more than 1mm can be found. Line, CT examination:

For stones that are opaque to X-ray, X-rays and CT examinations can be done; For X-ray impermeable stones, X-rays and CT examinations are required.

Of course, the way to check for kidney stones is to do B ultrasound, you go to the hospital to go to the urology department to open a test sheet, and then go to the B ultrasound room to do B ultrasound examination, and the person is not painful.

The more common tests include physical examination, B-ultrasound and color ultrasonography, abdominal X-ray, and the most accurate examination is CT examination.

The diagnosis of each disease requires some necessary professional examinations, and only in this way can the disease be accurately diagnosed. Although hydronephrosis is a relatively common kidney disease, it also requires some tests before it can be diagnosed. Here are some of the tests that need to be done to confirm hydronephrosis.

Clause. First, the first is the urine routine examination. Red blood cells and proteins are often present after enlargement of the calyces.

Clause. 2. Renal function test. Including urea nitrogen, creatinine measurement and clearance test, when bilateral hydronephrosis and renal function are severely impaired, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen are increased.

Clause. 3. Imaging examination. There are many types of such examinations, including x-ray urinary tract radiograph, B-ultrasound, color Doppler ultrasound, transvascular urinary system, retrograde pyelogram, renal puncture, CT, etc.

Clause. Fourth, the nephrogram showed an obstructive nephrogram curve during the nephropathy examination. If a diuretic nephrogram is used, it is helpful to determine whether there is definite obstruction and whether surgery is needed**.

The method is to ask the patient to drink water and inject furosemide intravenously after routine nephrogram (after the nephrogram is done, the following results may appear: both results are normal curves, indicating that there is no obstruction; Obstruction on conventional nephrogram and normal diuretic nephrogram indicate compensatory emptying after upper urinary tract obstruction, or suggest that upper urinary tract dilation may be due to hypotonia of renal pelvis and ureteral smooth muscle; A normal conventional nephrogram and a diuretic nephrogram with an obstructive curve indicate the presence of underlying obstruction; If both are obstructive nephrograms, it is true obstruction.

The above points are the tests that need to be performed to confirm the diagnosis of hydronephrosis, a kidney disease. When you feel unwell, the first thing you should do is to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible, instead of doing something inappropriately or buying some medicine to take by yourself. Hopefully, the above introduction to some of the tests needed for hydronephrosis will be helpful to you.

1. B-ultrasound examination

Urinary ultrasound examination is the first choice, because it is simple, convenient, safe and radiation-free, and has a high rate of stone detection, which can simultaneously understand the size and number of stones, the condition of hydronephrosis in the kidneys, and the condition of ureters and bladder.

Disadvantages: The influence of human factors is greater, and the technical relationship with the inspectors is close, and the judgment of large stones and multiple stones is not good.

2. X-ray examination:

The plain radiograph of the whole urinary tract is convenient and simple, and the size, number, and location of the stones are clearly displayed, but uric acid stones cannot be visualized in the plain radiograph.

Disadvantages: There is radiation, children and pregnant women have an impact, and it is not suitable for use.

3. Intravenous pyelogram examination:

You can know the size, location, and number of stones, and at the same time, you can understand the function of the kidneys;

Disadvantages: Contrast media allergies are prohibited, there is radiation, the cost is relatively high, and hospitalization is required.

4、ct、mri：

It can provide a more comprehensive understanding of kidney size, kidney stones, renal parenchyma, and surrounding organs. MRI is more appropriate for pregnant women who are allergic to contrast media or who do not have access to x-rays.

Disadvantages: there is radiation, high cost, inconvenient examination, and some hospitals do not have the conditions for examination.

If nephrolithiasis with hydronephrosis is suspected, ultrasonography should be done first. B-ultrasound is a simple, safe and non-invasive examination method, which can not only understand the location, size and number of kidney stones, but also roughly determine the degree of hydronephrosis and the condition of renal parenchyma. However, ultrasound images are generally only used as a preliminary examination because of their poor resolution and large influence on intestinal contents.

The most accurate tests are CT and intravenous urography (IVU). CT is available in contrast and contrast, the latter requiring intravenous contrast and having a certain effect on kidney function. If the patient has renal insufficiency, contrast-enhanced CT is not appropriate and IVU is not appropriate.

You can go to the hospital for urine routine, blood routine and other tests, or you can do intravenous pyelogram, CT, B ultrasound and other tests to determine whether there is hydronephrosis. Because hydronephrosis is associated with urinary tract stones, patients can be treated with stone removal**, surgically by stone removal, or by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy**.

Kidney stones need to be checked for the following items:

1. Urine laboratory test, which can detect urine glucose, urine protein, red and white blood cells, crystals, bacteria, etc.; Clause.

2. Blood examination, blood routine examination is required, if white blood cells are found to be elevated, indicating that there is infection in the body, in addition, kidney function and calcium concentration in the blood can also be checked; Third, X-ray examination, X-ray examination is an important method for diagnosing urinary tract stones;

Generally, it can be diagnosed by color ultrasound, CT and other examinations, if the examination has kidney stones, it is recommended to be early, because kidney stones may cause hydronephrosis or affect kidney function, and for kidney stones, it is necessary to choose the plan according to the size and location of the stones.

First of all, if there are different numbers of red blood cells in the urine routine, it can indirectly indicate whether there are kidney stones. Then there is the color ultrasound of the kidneys, which is the most commonly used examination method for kidney stones.

Generally speaking, the main symptom of kidney stones is abnormal urination as the main manifestation, but this is not very typical, many diseases can cause abnormal urination, and the relatively typical symptom is blood in the urine, but in this case, the general condition is more serious, and the following is a specific introduction to the symptoms of patients with kidney stones:

1. Pain in the lower back.

This is the situation that urinary kidney stone disease will occur, kidney stone pain is more eventful because the stone is at the junction of the urethral catheter, there is more space in this position, the stone is not easy to move here, the stone will stay here, it is okay not to move, it will be painful if you move, and the pain of the stone is a normal phenomenon.

There are also patients who do not have pain in kidney stones, so patients need to pay more attention, stones do not hurt because the stones are too big, stuck in the organs, which is more dangerous, stones in the kidneys will cause organ infection, and in severe cases, kidney failure will occur.

2. Painful urination, broken flow.

This is also a symptom of urinary kidney stones, some stone patients, often want to urinate, but many times because of the pressure change, the pressure in the human body will also change, at this time the stone will move, often the patient will have painful urination, but also prone to urine interruption, flow cut, must pay attention.

3. Unexplained high fever.

Such patients need to pay more attention, unexplained high fever is caused by abnormal endocrine tissues, most of the time it is caused by organ tissue infection, which needs to be paid special attention, and patients with kidney stones need to pay more attention. Therefore, it is recommended to drink the tea in time to regulate the stone discharge.

The composition of stones is different, so kidney stones are often divided into many different types, among which calcium oxalate stones are the most common, mainly caused by abnormal dietary structure.

Kidney stones are a common disease in urology, and they generally cause pain and blood in the urine. If the above symptoms appear, you need to go to the urology department for relevant examinations in the future, usually through urological color ultrasound examination.

What are the tests for kidney stones? Generally, I go to the urology department to do a B ultrasound, look at the size and location, and at the same time need to do a urine routine to see if there is bleeding and so on.

If the diagnosis is kidney stones, first conservative**, such as eating stone removal granules, keeping clean and dry, proper exercise, especially going up and down stairs will help recovery, and at the same time be sure to drink plenty of water.

Hello, to find out if there are kidney stones, you can do the following tests: plain x-ray of the urinary tract, B-mode ultrasound, intravenous urography and retrograde pyelogram.

Suggestions: It is recommended to do a simple B-ultrasound examination first. I wish you good health.

The main reason for the formation of kidney stones is to drink less water and exercise, if you add the dry climate of the place of residence, or in winter, electric oil tins, electric blankets and other electrical appliances that are easy to consume body water will cause the formation of kidney stones, drinking less water will cause less urination, plus no exercise, the main components of the formation of stones will be easy to accumulate in the kidneys, food does not have to care too much, the key is to drink more water (at least 1500ml a day) to urinate more, plus a moderate amount of exercise (especially jumping such as skipping rope, Going up and down the stairs actually helps), smoking, alcohol, and strong tea should also be greatly controlled, and do not drink milk before going to bed at night, which is the formation of kidney stones and the daily ** method, the following is the process to be passed in the hospital clinic:

If you suspect that you have kidney stones, you will generally have a urine routine (see a doctor, and sometimes add a blood routine to you) and B ultrasound, at this step the stone can be diagnosed, the size, and location can be known, and then the doctor will carry out ** according to the specific situation, small stones can generally be discharged by taking medicine, and they are generally traditional Chinese medicine, because Chinese medicine is more effective in **stones, if you want to go further**, for example, the doctor thinks that the stones are larger or the patient wants to choose extracorporeal lithotripsy as soon as possible. Sometimes it is too big and surgery is needed, and there may be fluoroscopy after ultrasound, and depending on the composition of the stone, some stones cannot be detected by fluoroscopy, and CT is required.

Kidney stones are very common, not a serious illness, do not need to worry too much, as long as you actively cooperate**, regular follow-up examinations can be **, but ** after the ** can not be careless, because it is easy**, or to maintain the habit of drinking more water and exercising moderately, I wish you a good morning**!
