Kidney stones are checked using imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, and sometimes MRIs. Urine and blood tests are also conducted to analyze for signs of kidney stones and related conditions. To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!
Hi! I am sorry you are not feeling well. The golden standard for diagnosing kidney stones is usually done by X-ray, CT or ultrasound depending on symptoms and the provider treating you. If your symptoms continue to worsen, please seek medical attention.
