Pediatric Kidney Stones – Expert Care at Vyshnavi Hospitals

Kidney stones are not just an adult problem—they can also affect children. Pediatric kidney stones form when minerals and salts crystallize in the kidneys, leading to pain and urinary issues. At Vyshnavi Hospitals, our Pediatric Urology Team provides specialized diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies for children suffering from kidney stones, ensuring safe and effective care tailored to their needs. Causes of Pediatric Kidney Stones Kidney stones in children can result from multiple factors, including: Dehydration – Insufficient water intake leads to concentrated urine, promoting stone formation. Genetic Factors – A family history of kidney stones increases a child's risk. Dietary Imbalances – High salt, oxalate-rich foods, and excessive calcium intake can contribute to stone development. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) – Chronic infections may lead to certain types of kidney stones. Metabolic Disorders – Conditions like hypercalciuria (excess calcium in urine) and cystinuria (high cystine levels) can cause stones. Medications – Some drugs, such as diuretics or high-dose vitamin D supplements, may increase stone risk.
