Kidney Stones: Symptoms, Causes, Treatment

When Should I See a Doctor?

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs and symptoms that worry you.

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

  • pain so severe that you can’t sit still;
  • pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting;
  • pain accompanied by fever and chills;
  • blood in your urine;
  • difficulty passing urine.

A renal colic attack is a serious condition that requires an immediate call for an ambulance.

A nephrologist deals with the treatment of kidney diseases. He is able to prescribe you the necessary tests and other types of examinations. Such specialists as gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, gynecologists, and urologists may team up with your attending nephrologist to make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe effective treatment.

Don`t put off a nephrologist appointment. See your doctor as soon as possible.
