What can people tell me about the side effects of kidney stents? I read that more of such procedures are now being performed in the United States and that there are many more people with kidney stents than before. I have no doubt that kidney stents have saved many lives. But are there any side effects?

Hi there,
Kidney stent can have many side effects and it can cause many complications. One of the main side effect with kidney stents are dislocation, infection and blockage by encrustation. Other side effects can include increased urgency and frequency of urination. Also you may notice blood in the urine, leakage of urine and pain in the kidney. Pain in the kidneys during and after a short time after urination can also be noticed. So as you can see there are many things that you can experience so doctors pay much attention when they place kidney stent in your urinary tract. I think that you will get a prescription for the pain killers as well. Good luck with this procedure.
