Can white things seen in urine be the kidney stone passing?
Patient: I just had a kidney stone surgery but was left an stent inside until today, am having lots of pain and now am seeing white things in my urine, could that be particles of the stone? I know i had a 7 mm stone and was blasted, how do i know am passing stone? Doctor: Yes, your concern is very true.In my hospital, after lithotrity i.e. stone blasting , I always ask my patients to collect urine in a container & send it for stone analysis.Also, to all my patients who want advise to prevent stone formation in future, I advise to do metabolic work-up & 24 hours urine analysis.You can discuss this with your doctor.Hope this information is useful to you.Thank you.Regards.
