Kidney Stones – Diagnosis & Treatments

Blood Test

Another method to diagnose kidney stones is a blood test. By taking a blood sample and analyzing it, your doctor would determine the levels of some components that might lead to kidney stones, such as uric acid and calcium. Also, the results would help him or her examine the current health of your kidneys and urinary tract. This is important to design a suitable treatment plan or suggest some proper preventive measures.
