1. Pain:

Pain is the main symptom of kidney stones. When the stones are large and have a small range of movement in the renal pelvis, the pain is mostly dull and sometimes a lack of pain. When the stones are small and have a large range of movement in the renal pelvis, they can easily cause obstruction of the junction of the renal pelvis and ureter and cause renal colic. Renal colic is a sudden, severe pain that starts in the lower back and radiates down the ureters to the bladder and may also radiate to the vulva. The pain is paroxysmal and usually lasts for several minutes or even hours, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Sometimes the patient becomes pale, sweats profusely, and appears to be in a state of collapse.

2. Hematuria:

Hematuria is the second important symptom of kidney stones. The successive occurrence of pain and hematuria is the characteristic of kidney and ureteral stones. Especially when there is a lot of physical activity, pain and hematuria may occur suddenly. However, hematuria is generally mild and sometimes cannot be seen with the naked eye. It can only be seen under a microscope, from a few to a large number of red blood cells, which is called microscopic hematuria. However, when the stones cause severe damage to the mucosa, gross hematuria is often present. Pain and hematuria are often triggered when the patient is more active. When stones are complicated by infection, pus cells appear in the urine, and there are symptoms of frequent urination and painful urination.

3. Pyuria: When kidney and ureteral stones are complicated by infection, pus cells appear in the urine, and high fever and low back pain may occur clinically.

4. Fever and chills: When secondary to acute pyelonephritis or pyonephrosis, there may be systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, and shivering. Bilateral upper urinary tract stones or complete obstruction by kidney stones may lead to anuria.
