My son just recently after a lot of pain and blood in his urine, passed 2 kidney stones. I emailed his urologist who said that people with cf are at risk for developing them. This is something I did not know.
We we just did a 24 hour urine collection and he is scheduled to meet with a nephrologist in a couple weeks for the results. The urologist said they may be able, from the urine test to determine the type of stone and the best way to prevent others from forming. He said he may need medication. (Just what he needs, more medication). I would do it if it could prevent the severe pain he experienced from happening again.
my questions are, do many of you experience kidney stones? Are people with cf more prone to get stones? Were doctors able to pin point the type of stones you have produced? Do people with cf tend to develop the same types of stone, and if any of you are taking medications, what are you taking and is it working?
thank you so much in advance,
Janelle
