Kidney Stone Disease
Stone disease, also known as urolithiasis, occurs when minerals and salts form crystals in the kidneys, which can then grow into stones. These stones can block the urinary tract, leading to intense pain, blood in the urine, and possible infections. Risk factors include dehydration, high-salt diets, obesity, and a family history of kidney stones.
At Branch Urology, we specialise in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of kidney, ureteral, and bladder stones. With advanced imaging techniques and minimally invasive treatments like shockwave therapy and laser lithotripsy, Dr Al-Bermani aims to provide fast, effective relief and help prevent recurrence.
