Kidney Stones Treatment

Don’t let kidney stone pain disrupt your life.

Kidney stones are extremely common in the UAE, especially due to the hot climate and low fluid intake. These hard mineral deposits form in the kidneys and can cause intense pain when they pass through the urinary tract.

Common Symptoms:

  • Sharp pain in the back, side, or lower abdomen
  • Pain during urination
  • Pink, red, or brown urine (blood in urine)
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Urgency or frequent urination
  • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

Causes:

  • Dehydration (low fluid intake)
  • High-sodium or high-protein diet
  • Family history of stones
  • Obesity
  • Certain medical conditions like gout

Diagnosis:

At Mubadala Health Dubai, we offer advanced diagnostic tools:

  • Ultrasound and CT scans for accurate detection
  • Urine and blood tests to identify stone type and risk factors

Treatment Options:

  • Medication to manage pain and help pass small stones
  • Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) to break stones
  • Ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy for medium stones
  • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy for larger stones

Prevention Tips:

  • Drink 2.5-3 liters of water daily
  • Reduce salt and animal protein intake
  • Eat more fruits and vegetables
  • Avoid sugary drinks and excessive calcium supplements
