Comprehensive Care for Kidney Stones

Kidney stones, medically known as renal calculi, are a common and painful urinary tract condition affecting people of all age groups. These stones form when minerals and salts in the urine crystallize and harden within the kidneys. While small stones may pass naturally, larger stones can cause severe pain and complications, requiring medical or surgical treatment.

At Apex Medical and Surgical Center, we provide accurate diagnosis and advanced treatment options for kidney stones, focusing on pain relief, stone removal, prevention of recurrence, and long-term kidney health.

What Are Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. They can vary in size—from tiny sand-like particles to large stones—and may move through the urinary tract, causing discomfort and obstruction.

Types of Kidney Stones

Calcium Stones

The most common type, usually formed from calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate.

Uric Acid Stones

Often seen in individuals with high protein diets or metabolic disorders.

Struvite Stones

Associated with urinary tract infections.

Cystine Stones

Rare stones caused by a genetic disorder affecting amino acid excretion

Treatment Options for Kidney Stones

Conservative Management

Small stones may pass naturally with:

  • Increased fluid intake
  • Pain management
  • Medications to relax the urinary tract

Medical Management

Medications may be prescribed to control pain, infection, or stone formation.

Surgical and Minimally Invasive Procedures

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)

Uses shock waves to break stones into smaller fragments.

Ureteroscopy (URS)

A minimally invasive procedure using a thin scope to remove or break stones.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)

Used for large or complex kidney stones.

Diagnosis of Kidney Stones

Accurate diagnosis helps determine the best treatment plan:

  • Ultrasound imaging
  • CT scan of the abdomen
  • Urine analysis
  • Blood tests

Causes and Risk Factors

Kidney stones may develop due to:

  • Dehydration or low fluid intake
  • High salt or protein diet
  • Obesity
  • Family history of kidney stones
  • Recurrent urinary tract infections
  • Certain medical conditions
  • Prolonged use of some medications

Symptoms of Kidney Stones

Symptoms may vary depending on the size and location of the stone:

  • Severe pain in the back, side, or lower abdomen
  • Pain radiating to the groin
  • Burning sensation during urination
  • Frequent urge to urinate
  • Blood in urine
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Fever and chills (if infection is present)

Immediate medical attention is required for severe pain or fever.
