Pain relief will need to be given immediately, usually in the form of narcotics. If your urine is too acid you will need to maintain a constant alkaline pH, increase water intake, and eliminate too many proteins.

It can be diagnosed through imaging or if the stone has already passed, the doctor may give you a mesh cup to strain any urine.

Participants wanted to prevent future kidney stones. Each participant drank 3 liters of water daily. Their daily protein intake was determined by laboratory testing. The hypothesis was would dietary calcium cause an increase in kidney stone formation? It was determined that dietary calcium was not the culprit. It was eating too much protein. It was thought that dietary calcium might precipitate kidney stone formation. Participants used the same guidelines. Participants gladly cut back on their protein intake to assure no further kidney stones.                                                                                                          BURST CYST Oftentimes this is accompanied with pain, and blood in the urine, though not always. An ultrasound can determine if you have a burst a cyst or bleeding into a cyst. Frequent burst cysts might be coupled with higher blood pressures, a trauma to the area, sometimes running, or some form of hard exertion. Hematuria or blood in the urine increases dramatically when one or both of the kidneys is larger than 15 cm. Hypertensive PKD'rs are more likely to have gross hematuria than normotensive patients. For some it is very painful requiring rest and opiods to relieve the pain.                                                                                           KIDNEY INFECTION or CYST INFECTION Flank pain especially exhibited with a jarring motion or increased when walking can be related to an infection within a kidney. Sometimes we can get an infection within a cyst itself. This is much more difficult to diagnosis. Infection of a liver cyst is a very serious diagnosis and sometimes mistaken for another type of infection. Check with your doc at the first instance of pain in the belly or flank area. Check with your doctor should you get burning or frequency when you urinate. This is more common among women than men.
