Best Doctors for Renal Stone in Adults Treatment in Karimnagar

Renal stones, also referred to as kidney stones that are hard masses occurring as a result of excess minerals and salts in urine. Some renal stones are as small as grains, while others can be very big in size. The most common causes include dehydration, high levels of calcium or oxalate in the urine, certain medical conditions, such as gout or infections, and family history. Symptoms include severe back or side pain, pain while urinating, red blood in the urine, and frequent urination. The treatment of kidney stones depends on their size and location. Small stones can be passed if adequate fluid intake is provided. Larger stones may be treated with pain medications or require the person to go through lithotripsy (to break the stones) or in some cases surgery might be advised. A person can prevent getting kidney stones by mainly by staying hydrated, cutting down on salt, and controlling the underlying disease. Usually patients are followed up regularly with their urologists or nephrologists to minimize the risk of repeated stones.
