Kidney Stone Detection: Urine Tests and Imaging

Urine tests can suggest kidney stones but aren't definitive:

• Urinalysis: Detects blood, protein, crystals—may indicate stones but also other conditions.
• 24-hour urine collection: Measures calcium, phosphate, minerals; elevated levels increase stone risk.

Imaging (ultrasound, CT scan) confirms presence, size, location. See a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment if stones suspected.
