Your kidneys help you get rid of liquid waste through urine. Substances in your urine can build up forming solid nuggets (kidney stones) that cause severe pain.
We help prevent kidney stones with personalized care that often includes the kidney stone diet. Even if you’ve experienced kidney stones in the past, we can help you avoid future kidney stones.
Our kidney disease doctors (nephrologists) specialize in preventing kidney stones. They take time to explain why you may be at risk and help you steer clear of kidney stones by changing your diet. Our personalized approach gives you the best chances for good results.
If we detect signs of kidney stones, we refer you to an AHN urologist. These physicians are specially trained to treat conditions affecting your bladder and kidneys. Our nephrologists work closely with our urologists. They share important information about your health history, including previous test results, so you can get the care you need.
