Kidney Stones
With Northlake Nephrology Institute
Understanding Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. Diet, excess body weight, certain medical conditions, and certain supplements and medications are among the many factors that can contribute to their formation. Once a kidney stone has formed and is causing symptoms, the situation is usually best managed by a urologist, who can address any obstruction to urine flow as well as the procedural aspects of stone removal. The role our team at Northlake Nephrology is the management is in treating patients with recurrent stones.
