Manage episode 480760108 series 1265341

Kidney stones are often more than a one-time painful event: they’re a chronic disease linked to other health issues. Kyle Wood, M.D., discusses how stone disease often coexists with conditions like hypertension, dietary imbalance, and primary hyperparathyroidism. He explains that reviewing patient history, taking bloodwork, and ordering urine testing can help providers understand a patient’s overall risk for stone recurrence and related chronic conditions. Learn how UAB uses genetic testing to identify heritable causes of stone disease in patients with early onset, recurrence, or other red flags.
