Severe flank pain with a fever or chills? This is a sign of a possible obstruction with a kidney infection, which is an emergency requiring immediate emergency care rather than waiting for a regular appointment. Pain alone without fever still deserves a prompt evaluation to determine the stone’s size and location.

Overview

What Are Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are solid deposits formed from salts and minerals present in the urine, usually due to highly concentrated urine from low water intake. The most common type is calcium oxalate stones, along with other types such as uric acid stones and phosphate stones, each with slightly different contributing causes.

A stone may remain inside the kidney without causing any pain for a long time, but the acute pain known as “renal colic” usually occurs when the stone moves toward the ureter and causes a partial or complete obstruction of the urinary channel.

Why This Deserves Attention Now

Four Reasons Getting the Right Treatment the First Time Saves You Pain

The Outcome

A decisive solution for the pain, not just temporary painkillers

Precisely determining the stone’s size and location determines the actually right way to remove it, not just temporarily easing the pain.

Precision

A CT scan pinpoints the stone with complete accuracy

A non-contrast CT scan is the most precise standard for determining the stone’s size, location, and likely composition.

Speed

From diagnosis to a treatment plan within the same visit

No need to wait between multiple clinics during a pain episode — evaluation and the treatment decision happen in one pathway.

Clarity

A personalized prevention plan, not repeating the problem every year

Dr. Yaman explains exactly why stones are forming in your specific case, to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

Treatment Options by Stone Size

How Are Kidney Stones Treated?

Completely Non-Surgical

Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)

Shock waves from outside the body break the stone into small fragments that pass with the urine, usually with no incision and no full anesthesia. Suitable for small to medium-sized stones.

Higher Precision, No External Incision

Endoscopic Fragmentation & Removal (URS)

A thin scope reaches the stone directly inside the ureter or kidney, to fragment it with a laser or remove it in the same session. A precise option for stones in the ureter or slightly larger stones.

For Large & Complex Stones

Percutaneous Removal (PCNL)

Direct access to the kidney through a small incision in the back, to remove large stones (roughly larger than 2 cm) not suited to less invasive techniques.

What Your Evaluation with Dr. Yaman Includes

A Complete Evaluation Protocol, Not a Surface-Level Exam

Diagnosis & Evaluation Pathway

One organized visit, personally overseen by Dr. Yaman

Immediate assessment of pain and symptoms

Especially when presenting during an acute pain episode, to determine priority and the need for urgent intervention.

Urine and blood tests

To detect any accompanying infection, and evaluate overall kidney function.

Non-contrast CT scan

The most precise standard for determining the stone’s size, location, and likely composition.

Discussion of the most suitable treatment option

Monitoring, shock wave fragmentation, endoscopy, or percutaneous removal — based on the exact size and location of the stone.

A personalized plan to prevent recurrence

Specific guidance based on the likely stone type, not just general advice.

No multiple referrals, no waiting between specialties — the entire pathway is under the care of one physician.

Signs Worth Paying Attention To

Symptoms of Kidney Stones

Small stones may sometimes cause no symptoms at all, but these signs deserve a prompt evaluation:

Sudden, severe flank pain that comes in waves
Pain radiating toward the lower abdomen or groin
Blood in the urine
Nausea or vomiting accompanying the pain episode
Frequent urination or burning during it
Cloudy or strong-smelling urine

Medical Background

Risk Factors for Kidney Stones

Low Water Intake

The most impactful and most modifiable factor — concentrated urine increases the chance of salts crystallizing and forming stones.

Hot Climate

Excess sweating in hot weather increases fluid loss, requiring greater compensation with water.

Diet

High intake of sodium and animal protein raises the risk of forming certain types of stones.

Obesity

Linked to an increased risk of stone formation independently of other factors.

Family History

A family history of stones raises the individual’s likelihood of recurrence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know About Kidney Stones

Yes, small stones (usually under 5 to 6 mm) may pass spontaneously with urine when drinking enough water, sometimes with the help of a medication that relaxes the ureter muscles. Larger stones, or ones causing an obstruction, need active intervention.

Shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is entirely non-surgical and performed from outside the body, suitable for small to medium-sized stones. Ureteroscopy (URS) involves inserting a thin tube through the urethra to reach the stone directly and fragment or remove it, and is more precise for stones in the ureter or slightly larger stones.

Usually when there’s a large stone (roughly larger than 2 cm) or a complex-shaped stone inside the kidney that isn’t suited to less invasive fragmentation techniques.

The possibility exists, especially if the underlying causes such as low water intake or diet aren’t addressed. That’s why analyzing the stone type and providing personalized preventive guidance is an important part of the treatment plan, not just removing the current stone.

Yes, hot weather increases the body’s fluid loss through sweating, which concentrates the urine and raises the likelihood of stone formation if not offset by drinking enough water.

Yes, flank pain accompanied by fever or chills may indicate an obstruction with a kidney infection, which is an emergency requiring immediate emergency care rather than waiting for a regular appointment.
