Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Stomach Due To Kidney Stones

My son is 45 years old and is battling one kidney stone about every day . Doctors say his kidneys are full of them but are making him wait weeks for an appointment with a specialist. In the meantime he is in intense pain and it continues to worsen every day. Are there no compassionate doctors out there who perhaps have suffered as well?

Hi,
In your son's case pain killers for short duration are advisable for immediate pain relief. (But long term use of pain killers may impair kidney function.)

Your son requires details evaluation for the cause of multiple stones.
He will require to consult nephrologist and endocrinologist for that.

Following investigations may help in decision making-
1) Complete blood count, renal function test, calcium, phosphorus, uric acid.
2) Urine test for infection, calcium, phosphorus, acid excretion.
3) Parathyroid hormone level, vitamin D3 level.
4) Arterial blood gas (ABG).
5) Ultrasound of kidneys.
6) If any stone flushed in urine it is better preserve it for analysis.
