Over the past few years, there has been an increase in cases where cancer has been
cancer misdiagnosed as kidney stones. The symptoms of both diseases are similar and can be easily confused by a doctor or other medical personnel.
The symptoms of kidney stones include:
Pain in the lower back, groin or stomach area
Blood in your urine (hematuria)
Fever
Nausea and vomiting
A simple X-ray is sufficient to identify a kidney stone.
The best way to identify a kidney stone is through an X-ray. While this may sound like a complicated process, it’s actually quite simple and only takes a few minutes.
If you have access to a hospital or clinic near you, they should be able to perform the X-ray for free. If not, there are many private clinics that offer this service at prices ranging from $20-$100 per visit (depending on where you live). The cost of an X-ray depends on where in the UK you are located as well as whether or not insurance covers any part of it for you–but rest assured that any price tag will be far less than what your doctor would charge if he had misdiagnosed his patient with kidney stones instead!
