Kidney stones are hard deposits that form within the urinary tract, varying in size, location, and composition. While some kidney stones may pass naturally, others may require specific kidney stone treatment. Your urologist will evaluate your symptoms, imaging results, stone size and location, as well as your medical history to determine the best treatment approach.
How Are Kidney Stones Evaluated?
The kidney stone evaluation process includes reviewing your symptoms and medical history, as well as conducting urine and blood tests. Imaging is also used to assess the size and location of the kidney stones. These findings help your provider decide whether observation or a specific kidney stone treatment is necessary.
Kidney Stone Treatment
Kidney stone treatment options depend on the individual stone and patient. Treatment may involve observation, medication if appropriate, or procedures aimed at breaking up or removing stone material.
