Our clinic meets every three months and is staffed by a pediatric urologist, pediatric nephrologist, dietitian specially trained in nephrology, clinical care coordinator and social worker. This team-based approach to care ensures we are providing the best individualized care to each of our patients.

Our Pediatric Kidney Stone Clinic sees patients diagnosed with:

• Urolithiasis (bladder or urinary tract stones), particularly associated with complex metabolic disorders such as cystinuria (buildup of the amino acid, cystine, in the bladder or kidneys)
• Primary hyperoxaluria (recurring bladder or kidney stones)
• Calcium kidney stones (the most common)

Patients may be diagnosed with kidney stones first by their pediatrician, the emergency department, or in our pediatric urology or pediatric nephrology clinic. If diagnosed by an outside provider such as a pediatrician or an emergency department provider, the patient would be initially scheduled in the pediatric urology or pediatric nephrology clinic. Then, if an appropriate candidate, the patient will be referred to the Pediatric Kidney Stone Clinic.

If diagnosed in our pediatric urology or pediatric nephrology clinic, the patient will be directly referred to the Pediatric Kidney Stone Clinic, depending on the complexity of the kidney stone disease.

In this clinic, we offer same-day imaging and review of metabolic studies, such as 24-hour urine collections, dietary counseling, and pre- and post-operative counseling when surgical intervention is warranted.
