Kidney Stone Specialist in Kolkata

Severe pain in the side or back, burning during urination, blood in the urine, or frequent urges to urinate may be signs of a kidney stone. These symptoms can disrupt your daily routine and, if left untreated, may lead to complications such as urinary blockage or infection.

At the CK Birla Hospitals, Kolkata, our kidney stone specialists provide comprehensive care for patients with simple and complex stone conditions. We focus on relieving your symptoms, treating the underlying cause, and helping prevent future stone formation.

Our Approach to Kidney Stone Care

Every patient’s condition is different. When you visit our specialists, we begin with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, diet, and overall health.

Our team performs a thorough evaluation to understand the size, location, and type of kidney stone. Based on this assessment, we create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Diagnosis and Tests for Kidney Stones

Not all kidney stones cause the same symptoms. Some stones pass on their own, while others may require medical treatment. Understanding your symptoms helps our specialists make an accurate diagnosis. Your evaluation may include:

• Urine tests to check for signs of infection or minerals that contribute to stone formation
• Blood tests to assess kidney function and identify possible causes
• Ultrasound to detect stones and evaluate the urinary tract
• CT scans to determine the size, number, and location of stones
• X-rays to identify certain types of kidney stones

Our kidney stone specialist doctors work closely with radiologists and diagnostic experts to review every test result and recommend the most effective treatment approach.

Kidney Stone Treatment

Treatment depends on the size, location, and type of stone, as well as the severity of your symptoms. For smaller stones, treatment may include:

• Increased fluid intake
• Medications to manage pain and help pass the stone
• Dietary and lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of recurrence

If the stone is large or causing complications, our kidney stone treatment specialists may recommend:

• Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)
• Ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy
• Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
• Minimally invasive surgery

Our specialists discuss all available treatment options and help you choose the approach that best suits your condition.

Recovery and Follow-Up Care

Recovery does not end after treatment. Our team provides ongoing guidance to help prevent future kidney stones. Regular follow-up visits may include imaging tests, dietary advice, hydration guidance, and metabolic evaluation to identify factors that increase your risk of stone formation.
