Kidney Stone Treatment

Kidney Stone Treatment in Ahmedabad Zydus Hospitals
Kidney stones are a common urological condition in India. They are usually made of salts and minerals in the urine. These stones can range in size from a grain of sand to larger, obstructive masses. When a stone blocks the flow of urine, it can lead to pain, infection, or kidney damage if not treated in time.
Zydus Hospitals offers comprehensive kidney stone treatment, combining advanced imaging, precise diagnosis, and modern surgical and non-surgical therapies. Our nephrology and Urology teams work together to manage everything from mild cases to complex recurrences, focusing on preservation of kidney function and long-term prevention.
Recognizing Kidney Stone Symptoms
Timely identification of kidney stone symptoms is essential to avoid complications. Patients may experience:
Acute kidney stone pain, often sharp and localized in the flank, abdomen, or lower back
Blood in the urine (hematuria)
Burning or discomfort while urinating
Foul-smelling or foamy urine
Persistent urge to urinate
Fever and chills in cases involving infection
Nausea or vomiting, particularly during severe episodes
These symptoms should prompt immediate evaluation by a kidney stone specialist.

Diagnostic Approach
To confirm the presence, size, and location of the kidney stone, our specialists perform:
Urinalysis: To check for infection
Ultrasound: A safe and non-invasive method to detect stones
CT scan: The most accurate imaging for stones
Abdominal X-ray: To check Kidney, Ureters, Bladder
These tests guide the selection of the most effective treatment modality.
