Kidney Stone Treatment

Understanding Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys when urine becomes concentrated. These stones can vary in size and may cause intense pain, blood in urine, and difficulty while urinating. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to avoid complications and preserve kidney health.

What Causes Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones may form due to:

• Inadequate water intake

• High-salt or high-protein diet

• Sedentary lifestyle or obesity

• Family history of kidney stones

• Medical conditions like urinary infections or hormonal imbalances

Symptoms to Watch For

• Sharp pain in the back or lower abdomen

• Painful urination

• Blood in urine

• Nausea or vomiting

• Frequent urge to urinate

• Fever or chills (if infection is present)

Accurate Diagnosis

At our clinic, we use a range of diagnostic tools to locate and assess kidney stones:

• Ultrasound (KUB)

• Non-contrast CT scan (NCCT-KUB)

• Urine and blood tests

• Metabolic evaluations for recurrent cases

Treatment Options

Conservative Management

Smaller stones may pass on their own with adequate fluid intake, pain relief, and medications that support natural expulsion.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

When required, our team offers advanced, low-pain procedures:

• ESWL (Shockwave Lithotripsy) – Non-invasive technique to break stones into smaller fragments

• URS (Ureteroscopy with Laser) – A small scope is used to access and remove or break the stone

• RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) – Endoscopic laser procedure for kidney stones

• PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) – A keyhole surgery for large or complex stones

Post-Treatment Care

We focus not just on removal but also on long-term health:

• Regular monitoring and imaging

• Metabolic analysis to identify stone-forming tendencies

• Diet and lifestyle counselling

• Prevention-focused treatment plans
