Can kidney stones cause persistent, hidden pain in the upper abdomen?

Depending on the location of kidney stones, kidney stones may cause persistent abdominal pain in the upper abdomen. Kidney stones may cause pain in the renal region with percussion pain in the costochondral angle. Large stones in the renal pelvis and calyceal stones may have no obvious clinical symptoms, with dull pain in the upper abdomen or lower back after activity. Patients with renal stones usually have microscopic hematuria, while a few patients have microscopic hematuria. The degree of pain and hematuria is related to the location of the stone, size, and the presence or absence of injury, infection and obstruction in the urinary system. Due to the complexity and variability of urinary stones, the nature, shape, size and location of stones are different, and the individual differences of patients and other factors, the choice of treatment and efficacy are also very different. Therefore, the treatment of urinary tract stones must be implemented to individualize the patient’s treatment, and sometimes need to integrate a variety of treatment methods. If you have abdominal or lumbar pain, hematuria, you should consult the urology department in a timely manner and standardize the treatment under the guidance of a professional physician to avoid further aggravation of the condition and to prevent complications.
