Complication & Side-Effects

There are different side effects and complications to having a ureteral stent in the body.
Primary complications involve infection from keeping the stent in too long. There can also be further blockage and dislocation due to prolonged insertion.
Symptoms of complications include increased urination, leaking urine, blood in the urine and pain in the kidneys or the groin.
Movement of the stent is quite common. Stents can penetrate the adjacent organs too like the bladder, the kidneys or sometimes even the lungs. To prevent this movement from happening, it helps to have the stent of an ideal length. Threads attached to the stent can often irritate the urethra as well. Stents should be replaced every 6 months or as soon as kidney stones form. There are procedures to deal with encrusting of stents as well but this procedure has to be done in a delicate manner to prevent additional damage to the kidney.
In rare cases, the stent can fracture inside the body. In such cases, procedures like ureterorenoscopy are used to retrieve the pieces.
Patients with stents can go about their daily routine but occasionally their sex lives can get affected. The thread tends to act as a deterrent.
A fever and an irritated bladder are the most common signs that prelude stent complications.

Patients are asked to drink up to 3- 5 litres of water every day in order to keep the kidney functioning properly. Follow up care and preventive measures is the best way to keep the functioning of the stent to the optimal.
