Infected kidney stones causing fever: a real-world study
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at the real-world treatment of infected kidney stones that are blocking the urine flow. It aims to learn more about how patients with fever and infection respond to care, which may help improve treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a kidney stone blocking the tube that carries urine from one kidney to your bladder, visible on a CT scan.

This study looks at why some people develop fever or a serious infection after a procedure to remove kidney stones. It aims to find risk factors so doctors can better prevent these complications.
This trial tests if using a special suction tube during surgery to remove kidney stones can lower the risk of infection. It is for people with small to medium-sized stones in the kidney or upper ureter.
This study measures a new score called the pelvic floor fatigue index, which looks at how tired the pelvic floor muscles get, in people who have a ureteral stent placed after kidney stone surgery. The goal is to see if this score can help predict or prevent bladder problems that stents can cause.
This trial tests a new smart scope that automatically controls pressure and temperature during stone removal surgery. It aims to make the procedure safer for people who have a kidney stone and a urinary tract infection.
This trial tests a patient-centered approach to managing painful kidney/ureter stones that are blocking urine flow. It may help you choose the safest next step—such as treatment with a scope or careful observation—based on your symptoms and situation.
This study looks at patients who have kidney stones and a urinary tract infection that spreads to the blood. It compares two ways to drain urine urgently before the main stone removal surgery, to see which leads to better outcomes.
