What Is The Treatment For The Stones In The Kidney?
Had 2 kidney stones on right, 1 obstructing and 1 not. Waited 2 days to see if I would pass on my own and didn t . Went in and had cystoscopy with lithotripsy and stent placement. Ever since surgery -it has been about 50 hours- I have barely urinated ; about 100cc in 4 hours and I have NS at 125cc/hr going, on flomax, and what does come out is pretty much nothing but blood and my hct has dropped 4 points over night. Urologists said to pull stent 3 days after surgery and pretty much signed off on me but did say I shouldn t be bleeding like that. No fever, I am on antibiotics, started having trouble breathing and have gained 20 of water weight and was given 20mg LASIX Ivp x 1 dose. What is really going on???

Hello and welcome to HCM.
Your concern is understandable.
As an Urologist, let me assure you, that Ureteroscopic lithotripsy is probably the operation you've undergone for obstructing stone on R.side.(URS)
Normally, after stent placement, patient is discharged next day. Stent removal is done within a week, depending on inflammation around stone.
Bleeding and weight gain are uncommon after this procedure.
You're welcome to send me the reports of treatment done in my name,with blood and scan reports, for an expert opinion. Get well soon.
