The Hong Kong Urology Clinic provides comprehensive assessment and treatment for patients with urinary tract stone disease. The following diagnostic tests may be required after your consultation with our urologists:
- Urinalysis and culture: to look for any urinary tract infection, which has to be treated before stone treatment
- XR kidneys, ureters and bladder (KUB): to look for any calcium oxalate and/or phosphate stones
- Ultrasound scan: to look for any obstruction of the urinary system caused by the stone(s)
- Renal function test, serum urate, calcium and phosphate tests: to look for any abnormal blood parameters suggestive of the cause of the stone disease
- CT imaging of the urinary tract: to look for any radiolucent stones, and relationship with other structures
