Kidney Stones



Category Renal Infection

Kidney stones are one of the most common urinary tract conditions, affecting people of all ages. They develop when minerals and salts in the urine crystallize and form hard deposits inside the kidneys. While small stones may pass naturally, larger stones can cause severe pain, urinary blockage, infection, and kidney damage if left untreated.

With accurate diagnosis, modern treatment options, and personalized care, patients receive the most appropriate treatment based on the size, location, and composition of the stone.

The clinic is conveniently located at A47, Ashok Nagar, Block B, Nehru Nagar III, Nehru Nagar, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh 201001, providing compassionate, patient-focused urological care.

What Are Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are hard masses made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. They may remain in the kidney or travel through the urinary tract, including the ureters, bladder, and urethra. Stones vary in size, and symptoms often occur when a stone blocks the flow of urine.

Early diagnosis helps prevent complications and improves treatment outcomes.

Types of Kidney Stones

The four main types of kidney stones include:

Calcium Stones

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

Uric Acid Stones

Often associated with dehydration, gout, or high-protein diets.

Struvite Stones

Usually develop after urinary tract infections and may grow rapidly.

Cystine Stones

A rare type caused by an inherited condition called cystinuria.

Determining the type of stone helps guide treatment and preventive strategies.

Symptoms of Kidney Stones

Symptoms may include:

  • Severe pain in the side, back, or lower abdomen
  • Pain radiating to the groin
  • Blood in the urine
  • Burning sensation while urinating
  • Frequent urge to urinate
  • Difficulty passing urine
  • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Fever and chills if infection is present

Seek urgent medical attention if pain is severe, accompanied by fever, or if you are unable to pass urine.

Causes of Kidney Stones

Kidney stones can develop due to a combination of dietary, medical, genetic, and lifestyle factors.

Common causes include:

  • Dehydration
  • High salt intake
  • Diets rich in animal protein
  • Excess oxalate in the diet

  • Drink insufficient water

Kidney Stones Treatment in Ghaziabad

Treatment depends on the stone size, location, symptoms, and overall health of the patient.

Conservative Treatment

Small stones may pass naturally with:

  • Increased fluid intake
  • Pain-relieving medications
  • Medicines that help relax the urinary tract when appropriate

Medical Management

Prescription medications may help relieve symptoms, reduce discomfort, and support stone passage.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)

ESWL uses shock waves to break kidney stones into smaller pieces that can pass naturally through the urinary tract.

Ureteroscopy (URS)

A thin instrument is inserted through the urinary tract to locate and remove or fragment the stone using specialized equipment.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)

Large or complex stones may require minimally invasive removal through a small incision in the back.

Patients with recurrent kidney stones receive personalized advice regarding hydration, diet, and treatment of underlying medical conditions to reduce recurrence.
