Do Kidney Stones Cause Diarrhea And Feelings Of Sickness?
My husband has been suffering from symptoms of a kidney stone and he has had them in the past but this particular one is different and is taking longer to pass but he also feels quite sick when in the past he would just be in pain. We visited the Dr today and they didn t have much to say except he has a high level of protein and blood in his urine. He also has been suffering from diarrhea and he thinks they are correlated but the Dr didn t believe that would be the case.

Hello,
Diarrhea is unlikely be related to kidney stones. If there is pis collection secondary to stones, may lead to diarrhea. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated. An ultrasound abdomen is required for further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
