[|Human|] sir, My sister suffering from upper abdomen pain accompanied with vomiting since last one month. Pain last for 4-5 hours . After radiology, endoscopy and blood test and sonography   it is found that she have kidney stone. Can this pain may be due to kidney stone as kidney stone pain occur in lower abdomen
[|AI|]  Hello, the pain of a kidney stone depends on the place where it is situated. We call it as referred pain. If the stone is higher up in kidneys it can cause pain in upper abdomen. Similarly, if stone is stuck in lower ureters or nearby then pain comes in lower abdomen as you said rightly.  So pain is in upper abdomen probably because stone is in kidney and causing pain. Regarding vomiting, when kidney tries to push the stone downwards it causes typical pain called as colic. Here we would call it as renal colic. In most of the colic pains, vomiting is commonly seen as there is spasm of muscular structures of body trying to reduce the causative factor of vomiting. Hence, the vomiting. I hope she must have been started on the required treatment by the treating doctors and I have helped you to answer your query. Thank you
