Can Lithotripsy Procedure Have Any Side Effects?

I had lithotripsy Tuesday morning for a stone in the renal (down towards the ureter) and a stone in the ureter. The day of the procedure every thing was great. After returning to work the next day, around I had chills, shaking so much my legs wouldn t function, and a low grade temperature. I slept for 4 hours and when I woke up I was in terrible pain, white around the mouth, couldn t take a deep breath. After 2 perkoset, things started getting some better. Yesterday I sat around and was still pretty sore as the same today. Today I have notice that my belly seems swollen and I have not had urine output comparable to input. Could there be something clogged or could constipation be playing a factor in the swelling...just very uncomfortable...

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

A fever or chill may indicate an infection. If stone fragments get stuck, there may be a blockage in the ureter which blocks the urine outcome. I suggest to do an abdominal ultrasound and a urine test for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the fever.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
