If you're experiencing severe pain in your abdomen or lower back, it could be a sign of kidney stones.

Diagnosing and Treating Kidney Stones at UF Health Central Emergency & Urgent Care

Kidney stones occur when substances such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid accumulate in the urine. Over time, these substances can form crystals, which eventually grow into stones. This can cause significant discomfort and, if not treated promptly, can lead to more serious complications. Fortunately, our healthcare professionals are highly experienced in diagnosing and treating kidney stones.

The diagnosis process typically involves a physical examination and a review of your medical history. We also utilize advanced imaging tests to accurately identify the presence of kidney stones. Our comprehensive treatment options for kidney stones include pain management strategies, proper hydration strategies, and prescribing medication to help pass the stones. In some cases, procedures such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or ureteroscopy may be necessary.
