An 8mm kidney stone is considered relatively large. Kidney stones can vary in size, and stones larger than 5mm are more likely to cause pain and complications as they pass through the urinary tract. While some smaller stones may pass without intervention, stones of this size often require medical treatment, such as lithotripsy or surgical removal, to facilitate passage.
