What is kidney stone?

A kidney stone is a hard deposit formed from substances in the urine.

Most kidney stones pass through the body unaided. But about 10% of population need to visit a doctor, as large stone may lodge in kidney or ureter, causing potentially excruciating pain.

The following symptoms may be a sign of a kidney stone that requires immediate attention:

  • Severe back or side pain that comes and goes
  • Urine that looks cloudy or includes blood
  • Fever and chills
  • A burning sensation while urinating
  • Vomiting

Dr. Ved Prakash Verma, specialists at the Verma Urology Centre can help, he excels in the most advanced, non-invasive treatments to break up kidney stones and preventive treatment so that it doesn’t occur up again.

Our kidney specialists need to determine why your body is forming stones in the first place.

A thorough evaluation by our urologists will help to discover why your body is forming kidney stones. With this information, we can develop a personalized plan to prevent new stone formation. The assessment includes:

  • Medical and dietary history — We will ask questions about your personal and family medical history. By understanding your medical and dietary history, we can begin to determine your likelihood of forming more stones.
  • Blood and urine tests — Blood tests can help us find out if a more generalized medical problem is causing your stones. You may also be asked to collect your urine over a 24-hour period. This will allow us to run a battery of tests to better understand why you form kidney stones.
  • Imaging tests — These tests are done to see if there are any stones in your urinary tract. Imaging tests may be repeated over time to check for stone growth. You may also need imaging tests if you are having pain, blood in your urine or recurrent urinary tract infections. This is done either with ultrasound or low-dose CT scans.
  • Stone analysis — Testing the stone will determine what type of stone it is. Knowing the type of stone helps our urologists to better determine the best way to prevent future stones.

Once we find out why you are forming stones, our team will give you a personalized plan to prevent new stone formation in the future.
