Kidney stones can not be crushed directly without CT, and it is necessary to perform CT examination to clarify the location and size of the stone before it can be crushed.
If the diameter of kidney stone is more than 0.6cm, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or percutaneous nephrolithotripsy is usually needed to dislodge the stone.
Before lithotripsy, CT examination is usually needed to clarify the stone size, location and severity of obstruction, so as to help choose the way of lithotripsy, lithotripsy position and so on.
After the operation, patients should pay attention to drink more water and do more exercise to help expel the stones from the body.
If the patient has kidney stones, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, under the guidance of the doctor, to improve the relevant examination and take appropriate measures to deal with the problem.
