If kidney stones are detected, the size, location, number, type, and even the age of the patient will cause us to decide how to approach this stone. The disadvantage is that it involves radiation, so we try not to have tomography under the age of 40 if it is not necessary as much as possible. Ultrasonography is important both in terms of evaluating the damage to the kidney and determining the size of the stone.Ĭomputed tomography is very important in terms of both the stones and their location and their relationship with neighboring organs and has the highest diagnostic value. Most stones can be seen on x-ray, but some stones are not. The presence of bleeding or inflammation in the urinalysis gives us a clue in terms of stone disease.
At the end of all these evaluations, kidney stones are diagnosed and the treatment method is determined. Then, tests such as urine-blood analysis, ultrasound, x-ray computed tomography are performed for the cause of the symptoms. In order to make a diagnosis, first of all, a medical history including diseases, surgeries, and additional diseases is taken and a detailed physical examination is performed.
