The doctor reviews your symptoms, previous stone episodes, medical history, current medicines and available reports.
Ultrasound may be used as an initial imaging test to identify stones and urinary obstruction.
A CT scan can provide detailed information about the stone’s size, number, location and density.
An X-ray of the kidneys, ureters and bladder may be advised for selected stones and follow-up evaluation.
Urinalysis or urine culture may be advised to check for blood, infection and other abnormalities.
Tests may be recommended to evaluate kidney function, calcium, uric acid and other relevant markers.
Not every patient requires every investigation. Tests are selected according to the symptoms and clinical findings.
Kidney stones are hard deposits formed when minerals and salts in the urine crystallise. They may remain inside the kidney or move into the ureter, where they can cause pain, urinary blockage or infection.
Some smaller stones may pass naturally with hydration, while others require treatment based on their size, location, and effect on the urinary system.
