Ever wondered under what circumstances stones can pose a danger? Dr Tan Peng Kok, Urologist at Mount Alvernia Medical Centre clarifies: Emergencies caused by stones are generally uncommon. However when both ureters are blocked by stones at the same time, it can lead to acute renal failure. The warning sign is when you pass little urine within a 12 hour period. If that happens, do not take things lightly because it can make you very sick and the situation will become grave if there is not urine after 24 hours. The other dangerous situation is when bacteria get into the urine pool and cause infection. When that happens, the patient may experience high fever, chills and rigors, and pain in the loin on the affected side. In both these situations, emergency treatment is necessary.
