“I thought my stone disease was completely cured, but I haven’t dealt with it for several years. This time, thanks to the doctor’s timely treatment!” Recently, the reporter saw the patient Deng in Ya’an Renkang Hospital (Ya’an Stone Disease Hospital). He was being treated for a left ureteral stone and a left kidney stone when Mr.
No re-examination after surgery
causing recurrence of stones
“My body has no symptoms, and kidney stones were only discovered when I checked other diseases.” Mr. Deng Said that after this examination, it was found that his calculus had blocked the ureter, and it had caused severe renal effusion, and his renal function was severely damaged, but he had no discomfort.
Six years ago, Mr. Deng went to the local hospital for examination because of sudden pain in his lower abdomen. The results of the examination showed that the ureter was blocked by the stone, and then he underwent extracorporeal lithotripsy in time. Later, the doctor suggested that every six months to one year, to go to the hospital for a review, in order to detect and treat the condition early. But after Mr. Deng was discharged from the hospital, he felt asymptomatic, so he did not follow the doctor’s order to review the stones.
In early February this year, when Mr. Deng was checking diabetes at a hospital in the city, he did a color Doppler ultrasound examination and unexpectedly found left ureteral stones and left kidney stones. The doctor suggested hospitalization.
Afterwards, Mr. Deng came to Ya’an Renkang Hospital (Ya’an Stone Disease Hospital) for re-examination. The result was diagnosed as a stone in the upper ureter of the left ureter. Severe effusion occurs, and the kidneys are severely damaged, with renal function only 28% of normal kidneys. At the same time, double kidney stones were also found, of which the left kidney stone was 3.2 cm in diameter. Due to the long time of stone blockage, it is no longer suitable for extracorporeal lithotripsy and must be treated with surgery. If the delay continues, the left kidney will gradually necrosis and will be removed after complete loss of function.
“Ya’an Renkang Hospital (Ya’an Stone Disease Hospital) has been focusing on the treatment of various stone diseases for more than ten years. It has strong technical force. I finally chose to perform surgery here.” Mr. Deng said.
On February 8th, after Mr. Deng was admitted to Ya’an Renkang Hospital (Ya’an Stone Disease Hospital), he was further examined by the hospital and found that in addition to diabetes, he also suffered from hypertension and hyperlipidemia. sick. Before the calculus operation, the hospital had to carry out controlled treatment for his underlying disease. After several days of treatment, the re-examination showed that Mr. Deng’s various physical indicators had met the requirements of the operation. In the early morning of February 18, the hospital successfully performed percutaneous nephrolithotomy for him and successfully saved his left kidney.
Asymptomatic does not mean no stone It is a disease that is easy to regenerate after treatment. Some patients with calculi will grow back after a few months after surgical treatment. At present, there is no effective method to completely control the growth of calculi. Therefore, the best way is to review it once every six months to one year after the operation, and find the stones and treat them in time.
Cui Jianqiang, the director of Ya’an Renkang Hospital (Ya’an Stone Disease Hospital) and a nephrologist, reminded the general public that no symptoms do not mean no stones, especially those who have been diagnosed with stones and who have undergone surgical treatment after suffering from stones. Patients should go to the hospital for a color ultrasound examination every once in a while. If a recurrence of stones is found, treatment should be carried out in time according to the advice of a professional doctor, so as to avoid the possibility of major diseases caused by small stones.
For more than 10 years, Ya’an Renkang Hospital (Ya’an Stone Disease Hospital) has encountered many patients with stone disease every year who were excised due to kidney necrosis caused by stones, or bilateral kidney stones caused double kidney necrosis and turned into uremia , which ultimately can only be sustained by dialysis. These patients with serious diseases caused by stones can completely avoid the occurrence of the above-mentioned diseases if they can follow the doctor’s order for regular review and achieve early detection and early treatment.
