Kidney Stones
Let's start with what prompts the visit: intense pain in the lower back or side that may radiate is usually the first warning. Kidney stones are solid buildups of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys.
Frequent symptoms: sharp pain in the flank or back, discomfort when urinating, the presence of blood in the urine and, at times, nausea.
Common causes: low fluid intake, certain eating habits, and hereditary or metabolic factors.
Which specialist treats them? The urologist and the nephrologist are the ones who study this condition, with support from the radiologist for imaging. If the pain is strong or recurs, it is advisable to seek evaluation to identify the cause.
