Kidney Stone Melbourne is the practice of Mr Uri Hanegbi. Our purpose is to remedy your kidney pain by removing your kidney stones.
This website contains detailed information about kidney stones – their causes, symptoms, treatment options and what can be done to prevent them. Kidney stones are formed as a result of ordinary chemicals in the kidney solidifying. This is usually due to an abnormality, related to a physical or chemical issue. These chemicals then precipitate, becoming solid particles which in turn may become crystals. These crystals grow over time to become kidney stones.
Kidney stones may cause pain, however you do not need to be experiencing pain to have kidney stones. The pain that stems from kidney stones is due to renal colic, which occurs when a kidney stone passes through the ureter.
