How is your kidney stone diagnosed?

Depending on the seriousness of your symptoms, our doctor might suggest you certain diagnostic tests for a better overview -

  • Urine tests: Your urine sample may suggest the presence of kidney stones by detecting the presence of stone-forming minerals in your urine.
  • CT Scans, Ultrasound, X-ray imaging: Dual energy or high speed computerized tomography (CT), X-ray imaging and non-invasive ultrasound can help detect even the smallest of kidney stones.
