What is a Kidney Stone?
Kidney stones are solid mineral and salt deposits that form inside the kidneys. They can cause severe pain and urinary issues when they pass through the urinary tract.
Trigger Foods to Avoid in a Diet
High Oxalate Foods
Such as spinach, nuts, and chocolate increase stone risk
Excess Salt
Raises calcium levels in urine, promoting stone formation
High Protein Diet
Can increase stone-forming substances in urine
Sugary Drinks
Increase risk of stone formation and dehydration
Caffeine
May cause dehydration if consumed excessively
Symptoms for Kidney Stone
Severe Flank Pain
Sharp pain in the side and back, radiating to the groin
Blood in Urine
Urine may appear pink, red, or brown
Frequent Urination
Urgency and discomfort while urinating
Nausea and Vomiting
Common during intense pain episodes
Cloudy or Foul-Smelling Urine
May indicate infection
Fever and Chills
Signs of a urinary tract infection
Common Causes of Kidney Stone
Dehydration
Low fluid intake concentrates urine and promotes stones
High Mineral Levels
Excess calcium, oxalate, or uric acid in urine
Dietary Factors
High salt, protein, or oxalate intake
Obesity
Increases stone risk due to metabolic changes
Family History
Genetic predisposition to kidney stones
Certain Medical Conditions
Like gout, hyperparathyroidism, or urinary tract infections
Risk Factors for Kidney Stone
Dehydration
Not drinking enough fluids
High Salt Diet
Promotes calcium buildup
Obesity
Increases risk due to metabolic changes
Family History
Genetic predisposition
Certain Medical Conditions
Including gout, diabetes, and renal tubular acidosis
Complications if Kidney Stone Left Untreated
Urinary Tract Infection
Infection due to blockage
Hydronephrosis
Swelling of a kidney due to urine buildup
Kidney Damage
Long-term obstruction can cause damage
Sepsis
Serious infection spreading in the body
Diagnosis
Diagnosis involves urine tests and imaging to detect stones and their location.
Diagnostic Methods
- Urinalysis (to check for blood and infection)
- Blood Tests (to assess kidney function)
- Ultrasound (to visualize stones)
- CT Scan (detailed imaging for stone size and position)
- X-rays (less commonly used)
Surgical Treatment Options
Our advanced surgical procedures provide effective, long-term relief
