Discover how the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center's Kidney Stone Program revolutionizes treatment with comprehensive, multidisciplinary care. By uniting experts from urology, nephrology, nutrition, and radiology, our program not only treats but prevents kidney stones, improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

Our approach starts with prevention. Patients undergo in-depth studies, like 24-hour urine collections, to identify stone causes. Collaborating with nephrologists and dieticians, we develop personalized plans to prevent recurrences. For those needing surgical intervention, we offer cutting-edge procedures such as shockwave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, and advanced laser techniques like the Moses Holmium and Olympus Thulium fiber lasers. Our CVAC suction ureteroscope ensures a higher immediate stone-free rate by efficiently removing stone fragments.

Our program leverages state-of-the-art technology and a dedicated team to enhance patient care. With next-generation scopes and minimally invasive techniques, we aim to reduce trauma and discomfort, often eliminating the need for painful stents. Nurse practitioners play a crucial role in streamlining access to care, triaging referrals, and guiding patients through their treatment journey.

At Ohio State, the Metabolic Stone Clinic focuses on understanding the root causes of kidney stones, fostering prevention to combat acute kidney injury and chronic disease. This proactive approach not only benefits patient health but also reduces healthcare costs and resource utilization.

Our commitment extends beyond local borders. We partner with organizations like the Physicians CareConnection to support underserved communities in Columbus and engage in international mission work in Honduras, bringing essential care to those without access.
