Kidney Stone Prevention Clinic

In the clinic, patients are evaluated by the nephrologist (kidney doctor) and registered dietitian. This includes a review of medical history, physical examination, blood tests and two 24-hour urine collections. These results and the stone analysis can assist physicians to make a diagnosis and treat many factors which put patients at risk to form kidney stones. Specific suggestions for lifestyle changes, diet and medications can be made to manage and reduce the risk of stone formation. The appointment with the nephrologist (kidney doctor) and registered dietitian are virtual consultations (phone or video) until further notice due to COVID-19.
