What Causes Severe Pain In The Kidney After Removal Of Stents?
yes my boyfriend has kidney stones and recently had an insertion of a stent to remove same , however they removed the stent two weeks after inserting it only to realise it was still there... he is now in alot of pain since removal... to the point where its unbearable... he cant stop urinating and is very uncomfortable.. what shall we do?
I would suggest to perform a renal ultrasound. I suppose that the stent was removed by urinary tract. US is helpful to be sure that there is not an ongoing hydroureteronephrosis. Also a complete renal screening (serum creatinine, azotemia, sodium, potassium, calcium and blood gases) is recommended. However, if negative, the pain may be due by the procedure itself which is invasive (remember that urines are acid, and ureter may be a little stretched by the instrument and the stent itself).
