  3. What Are Kidney Stones? Kidney stones, which develop in the kidney, are solid deposits of minerals and salts that occur inside the kidneys. They are formed when the kidneys are not able to get rid of crystal-forming substances like calcium, oxalate, and uric acid fast enough. These calcified crystals stick together and over time cause kidney stones. Some of the common causes of kidney stones are an unhealthy diet, obesity, certain medical conditions, unhealthy lifestyle, congenital disease, not enough hydration and certain supplements and medications.

  4. Treatments for Kidney Stones Kidney stones can be of varying sizes. Depending on the size of the stone, the person’s general health, and medical history, the doctor will decide on the best steps to treat the patient. Small stones can be treated with lifestyle modification and medication. ● For mid-size kidney stones less than 6 mm too, medication and lifestyle change ● should suffice. If the stones are larger than 6 mm and if they are blocking the urethra, it could ● cause kidney damage. A small procedure may be needed.

  5. Procedure to Remove Stones The procedure would involve making a small cut through the urinary passage into the kidney to remove the stones. It is a minimally invasive procedure. The patient will be discharged in a day and can get back to regular activities in a few days. If you need to consult a doctor about your kidney stones, look up “nephrologist near me” online. If you type, “nephrologist near me” in your search engine, you will be able to find one located near you.
