Kidney and urinary tract stones are one of the most common urological conditions, causing severe pain and complications if left untreated. Dr. Priyank Bhargava, the only AIIMS-trained urologist in Western Rajasthan, provides advanced diagnosis and treatment for kidney and urinary tract stones with minimally invasive procedures and personalized care.

What Are Kidney & Urinary Tract Stones?

Kidney stones, also known as renal calculi, are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. These stones can also travel to other parts of the urinary tract, such as the ureters or bladder, causing pain, urinary problems, and potential infections.

The size, type, and location of the stone determine the severity of symptoms and the treatment approach. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to prevent complications like obstruction, infection, or kidney damage.

Causes of Kidney Stones

Several factors can contribute to the formation of kidney and urinary tract stones:

  • Dehydration: Insufficient fluid intake concentrates urine, increasing the risk of stone formation.
  • Dietary Factors: High intake of salt, sugar, oxalate-rich foods, or animal protein can contribute to stone formation.
  • Medical Conditions: Diabetes, obesity, urinary tract infections, and hyperparathyroidism can increase risk.
  • Genetic Predisposition: Family history may increase susceptibility to kidney stones.
  • Lifestyle Factors: Sedentary lifestyle and low fluid consumption are significant contributors.

Symptoms of Kidney & Urinary Tract Stones

Kidney stones can present with varying severity depending on their size and location. Common symptoms include:

  • Severe pain in the lower back, side, or abdomen
  • Pain during urination
  • Blood in urine (hematuria)
  • Frequent urination or urgency
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
  • Fever and chills (if infection is present)

Diagnosis of Kidney Stones

Dr. Priyank Bhargava employs advanced diagnostic techniques to accurately identify the size, type, and location of urinary tract stones:-

  • Ultrasound of Kidneys & Urinary Tract – Non-invasive imaging for detecting stones.
  • X-Ray and CT Scan – High-resolution imaging for precise evaluation.
  • Urine Analysis & Blood Tests – To identify infections, minerals, and kidney function.

2. Minimally Invasive Procedures

  • Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL): Uses focused sound waves to break stones into smaller pieces for easy passage.
  • Ureteroscopy (URS): A small scope is inserted into the urinary tract to remove or break stones.
  • Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL): Used for large or complex kidney stones; involves a small incision to remove stones directly.
