Renal stones, commonly known as kidney stones, are hard mineral and salt deposits that form in the kidneys. These stones can cause severe pain, urinary problems, and potential kidney damage if left untreated. At Dr. Abdul Ghaffar’s clinic, we offer advanced diagnostic and treatment solutions to help patients effectively manage and prevent renal stones.
Causes:
Symptoms
Diagnosis:
Urine and Blood Tests – To detect infections and mineral imbalances
Ultrasound & CT Scan – To locate the stone and determine its size
X-ray (KUB) – To check for stone visibility in the kidney or urinary tract
Treatment Approaches:
Medications & Hydration Therapy – Encouraging natural passage of small stones
Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) – Breaking down stones using sound waves
Ureteroscopy – Using a thin tube with a camera to remove stones
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) – A minimally invasive surgery for large stones
Small kidney stones (less than 5mm) can pass naturally within a few days to weeks with adequate hydration.
Minimally invasive procedures such as ESWL and ureteroscopy cause minimal discomfort and have a quick recovery time.
Yes, without proper dietary and lifestyle changes, kidney stones can reoccur. Preventive measures are crucial.
If you experience severe pain, difficulty urinating, blood in the urine, or recurrent stones, consult a urologist immediately.
