Kidney Stone Treatment

Understanding Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. 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?

The exact reason for stone formation is not known but a lot of factors may contribute to stone formation including:

• Inadequate water intake

• High-salt  diet

• Obesity

• Sedentary lifestyle

• Family history of kidney stones

• Medical conditions like urinary infections or hormonal imbalances

• Diet rich in oxalates

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

Most of the stones in the ureter usually pass on their own with medications. We offer a combination of medications; science backed that improve the chances of stone 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. High energy rays are focussed on stone and this leads to the breaking of the stone in the kidney.

• URS (Ureteroscopy with Laser) – A small scope is used to access and remove or break the stone. For stone in ureter, a rigid tube is passed through urethra into the bladder and then ureter to fragment the stone.

• RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) – Endoscopic laser procedure for kidney stones. A flexible ureteroscope is placed into the kidney through the ureter and the stone is pulverized to dust with a laser. Stone in all calyces can be accessed and it allows stones to be removed with minimal bleeding and no risk of injury to kidney or surrounding organs.

• PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) – A keyhole surgery for large or complex stones. Through a small hole in the back access to the kidney is obtained and stone removed after fragmentation. This procedure allows us to remove large stones with minimal damage to the kidney and fast recovery of patients.

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
