Stone emergencies need different urgency
An infected obstructing stone is a urologic emergency. ASKI emergency and urology pathways emphasize fever, tachycardia, and leukocytosis alongside imaging. If you have stone pain plus fever, do not wait at home.
For uncomplicated ureteric stones, medical expulsive therapy may help select patients; we avoid blanket prescriptions that prolong avoidable hydronephrosis.
FAQ
- Will I always need surgery for kidney stones?
- No. Small distal stones may pass with monitoring. Surgery is considered for obstruction, infection risk, intractable pain, or occupational constraints.
