Kidney stones occur in one in 20 people at some time in their life. The majority of stones pass spontaneously within 48 hours. But some stones may not, in which case more complex procedures may be required.
The kidney stone specialists at UT Southwestern Medical Center have the knowledge and experience to provide patients with the highest quality health care, including the accurate diagnosis, effective treatment and ongoing management of kidney stones.
Our caring and compassionate specialists use UT Southwestern’s state-of-the-art medical resources to provide diagnostic examinations and effective treatments for kidney stones.
Kidney stones are often the result of underlying conditions and illnesses, which are routinely treated at UT Southwestern. These include:
• Dehydration
• Hyperparathyroidism
• Cystinuria
