Kidney Stones: Prevention & Treatment

Speciality: Nephrology

Description:

Welcome to our podcast. Today, we’re exploring kidney stones – those small, hard deposits that can cause big discomfort. Prevention starts with hydration: aim to drink enough water to keep your urine clear. Reducing salt and limiting foods high in oxalate, like spinach and nuts, may also help. If you do develop a kidney stone, treatments range from drinking plenty of fluids to help pass the stone naturally, to medical interventions like shock wave therapy or, in some cases, minor surgery. Remember, symptoms like severe pain, blood in urine, or fever need prompt medical attention. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalised advice. Thanks for listening to our concise guide on kidney stones.
