How big is a kidney stone 1.4cm x 0.6cm?

A 1.4cm x 0.6cm kidney stone is similar in size to a peanut meter. Kidney stones are measured by imaging methods such as ultrasound or CT on a clear imaging level, and are generally described in terms of mutually perpendicular lengths of long and short diameters.A kidney stone of 1.4cm x 0.6cm approximates to the size of a peanut meter, but the actual shape may deviate somewhat due to the irregularity of some of the stones. Generally, in clinical practice, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, nephrolithotripsy, or ureteroscopic lithotripsy for stone removal should be considered for stones ≥6 mm in diameter with or without symptoms. After the stone is confirmed by imaging, the optimal treatment should be chosen under the guidance of a urologist to avoid infection, worsening pain, and other adverse events.
