Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. I was wondering if kidney stones can lead to uremia?Doctor's answer:
If large kidney stones are not excreted from the body, they can cause kidney damage, which may lead to uremia. For smaller kidney stones, will they cause uremia? Generally, smaller kidney stones can be flushed out of the body through urine. Even if they are larger, it is essential to seek treatment at a local hospital as soon as possible. Treatment options include ultrasound lithotripsy or taking oral Chinese herbal medications, such as Shen Shi Tong Jiaoao Fast Granules.
