Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Sorry to hear about your kidney stones Matt. Is that a result from the sarcoid somehow? I hope you aren't in a lot of pain in the meantime. I have never heard of the procedure in which they are going to break them up. I hope everything works out for you.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Matt, I have recently done some reading about sarcoid and the affect on the kidneys. You can have an increased absorption in calcium which in turn deposits extra calcium in the kidneys ie kidney stones. If I remember where I read it I will e-mail you a copy. I am suprised I even remembered it. Hope you are better soon. Terri G.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Bummer, Matt. At least this is something that can usually be taken care of. I think the procedure is called lithotripsy & is usually successful. But you might be one of those lucky ones who need to limit calcium & Vit. D. Maybe you can think of this as another chapter is the book you might want to write some day. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Matt, is this surgery to remove the stone, or try to prevent a recurrence? I'll be sending good vibes from Indiana for both procedures.
