Not all kidney stones are the same.
Decide what to do with yours.
Learn what happened with people who had similar size, similar location, and similar pain.
Painful kidney stones are common life disrupters. Your kidney stone may pass on its own or it may require surgery. Your situation is unique but understanding the experiences of others may help you plan care with your health care provider. Stone Pass helps you figure out what to do through data about what happened with people who had a similar stone to yours.
Making Decisions
Hopefully, you only have a stone once in your life. But this means that you are forced to make decisions about your care without experience.
The three most important factors in stone decision making are the size and location of the stone and pain severity.
You can’t change the stone’s size or location but you can understand how pain affects decision making.
Stone Pass will show you how your stone compares to others, what decisions they made, and whether their stones passed on their own, or if they required surgery.
Our goal is that you use this information to communicate more effectively with your care provider and make the best decision for your specific situation.
