Can kidney stones cause chronic kidney failure?
Yes, kidney stones may cause CKD or kidney failure, although rarely. This happens when there are recurrent stone obstructions, prolonged obstruction, or recurring kidney infections due to the stones. Stones that are large or that occur in both kidneys are also more worrying. Early consultation with a urologist, especially if stones are recurring or occur in both kidneys, should be sought. Kidney function and obstruction can be assessed with blood and urine tests as well as imaging. MedicoExperts can assist patients in consulting kidney specialists for their own assessment and treatment. Early management and prevention of kidney stones can save one's kidneys.
