Often below the ribs, this is one of the most recognisable signs — sometimes described as one of the most intense pains a person can feel.
As a stone moves through the urinary tract, pain can shift location, often moving downward and toward the front.
Unlike constant pain, kidney stone pain often fluctuates in intensity as the stone moves.
This can happen as a stone nears the bladder or urethra, and is often mistaken for a urinary tract infection.
Blood in the urine is a common sign, caused by the stone irritating the urinary tract as it moves.
This can indicate an infection alongside the stone, which needs prompt attention.
Especially if you're passing only small amounts each time, this can signal a stone lower in the urinary tract.
Often accompanies severe pain, as the body responds to the intensity of the discomfort.
This can mean an infection has developed alongside the stone — see the emergency section below, as this needs urgent care.
Can indicate a stone is partially or fully blocking urine flow, which needs medical evaluation.
These signs can indicate a blocked or infected kidney, which needs urgent treatment rather than waiting for a scheduled appointment.
