How much does kidney stone surgery cost?

The cost of treating kidney calculi varies according to the size, location and treatment of kidney calculi. If the stone is less than 0.5cm and located in the upper calyx of kidney and renal pelvis, drug treatment is often used to expel the stone. Drinking pickled imperial stone tea promotes stone discharge, and usually pay attention to exercise and drink more water. The treatment cost is about several hundred yuan.

If the stone is about 1cm, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is often used, and the cost is about several thousand yuan. If kidney calculi is in 1.5-2cm, ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy is often used, and the cost is about 20,000 yuan. If kidney calculi is a cast stone, it needs percutaneous nephroscope and soft endoscope treatment, and the cost is about 30,000-40,000 yuan.

Different types of kidney calculi patients should avoid slightly different foods.

Oxalate stone is the highest proportion type in kidney calculi, accounting for about 80%. The foods that these patients should avoid are mainly to drink less strong tea, coffee, milk and soybean milk. In addition, eat less foods with high oxalic acid content such as strawberries, lemons, oranges, peanuts, walnuts and nuts. Patients with urate stones should eat less foods with high purine content, such as seafood and animal offal. Of course, these foods don't mean that you can't eat them at all, just suggest that you eat as little as possible. For kidney calculi patients, the most important thing in diet is to develop a good habit of drinking more water. It is recommended to drink cold boiled water or light tea, with a daily consumption of about 2500ml. This can dilute the urine volume, thereby reducing the crystallization of stones and preventing the recurrence and progress of stones.
