How could a large kidney stone block urine flow?
A large kidney stone can block urine flow when it becomes lodged in a narrow part of the urinary tract, most commonly the ureter (the thin tube connecting the kidney to the bladder). Urine normally drains from the kidney through the ureter. If a stone is too large to pass, it can get stuck and act like a physical plug. This obstruction prevents urine from moving forward, causing pressure to build up inside the kidney. As a result, the kidney may swell, a condition called hydronephrosis, and the person can experience severe flank pain, nausea, and sometimes infection. The blockage can be partial or complete. Even a partial obstruction can disrupt normal urine drainage and irritate the ureter, leading to pain and inflammation. Treatment depends on the size, location, and symptoms. Smaller stones may pass on their own, while larger stones often require medical procedures such as laser lithotripsy or other minimally invasive techniques to remove or break the stone. If someone has persistent pain, fever, or difficulty urinating, medical evaluation is important to prevent kidney damage.
How does the kidney stone affect the tissues?
Kidney stones can cause damage to surrounding tissues primarily through obstruction and irritation. When a stone blocks the urinary tract, it can lead to increased pressure in the kidney, potentially resulting in hydronephrosis and kidney damage. Additionally, the movement of the stone during passage can cause inflammation and injury to the delicate lining of the urinary tract, leading to pain and potential infection. Over time, repeated stone formation may also contribute to chronic kidney issues.
Is it possible to rupture a kidney stone?
Yes, the kidney stone can injure the kidney – mostly if it obstructs the urine flow for a considerable period of time. The increased pressure and potential infection can impair the kidney function gradually. Smaller stones pass easily, but if the obstruction is left untreated for several weeks or months, it may lead to permanent injury.

What causes a kidney stone?
Yes, kidney stones that become large or become lodged in the kidney or lower in the urinary tract, can sometimes cause problems with the kidney. A stone that blocks the flow of urine, left too long, can result in the death of the kidney or damage to the urinary tract. A kidney stone itself can be telling you that you already have a problem with your kidney. Crystals normally are formed when urine is made, especially in a dehydrated patient; however, when crystals grow and become a stone, it can be because of a kidney problem that is already present.
If you have a kidney stone in one kidney will you get one in the other kidney?
A patient who has had a single kidney stone has about a 50% chance of developing another stone. Whether you will develop a second kidney stone in the opposite kidney, depends in part on the reason for the formation of the stones.
