Common Kidney Problems Treated
Specialized care for a wide range of Kidney and Urinary conditions
Kidney Stones – Types, Sizes & Symptoms
Kidney stones form when minerals in urine crystallize and harden inside the urinary system. They can develop silently and cause sudden pain once they move or block urine flow.
Common symptoms include severe pain in the side or lower back, blood in the urine, nausea, and vomiting. Some patients also experience burning during urination or frequent urgency.
Recurrent Kidney Stones
Some patients develop kidney stones repeatedly over time. This often points to underlying metabolic or dietary factors rather than bad luck alone.
A metabolic evaluation helps identify the cause of repeated stone formation. This assessment guides long-term prevention and reduces the risk of future episodes.
High Creatinine & Kidney Function Concerns
Creatinine is a waste product measured in blood tests to assess kidney function. Mild elevation can occur due to dehydration, infection, or temporary stress on the kidneys.
Persistent or rising creatinine levels may indicate reduced kidney function. If left unaddressed, this can progress to chronic kidney disease.
Prostate Diseases & Urinary Flow Problems
An enlarged prostate can interfere with normal urine flow. This condition becomes more common with age and often develops gradually.
Common symptoms include a weak urine stream, difficulty starting urination, and frequent nighttime urination.
Urinary Tract Infections & Bladder Issues
Recurrent urinary tract infections can signal an underlying urinary problem. Symptoms often include painful urination, urgency, and lower abdominal discomfort.
Bladder control issues may also develop if infections or obstruction persist. Proper evaluation helps treat the root cause.

Specialized Kidney Stone Treatment Options
Advanced procedures tailored to your specific condition
Lithotripsy (ESWL) – Non-Invasive Kidney Stone Treatment
Lithotripsy uses focused sound waves to break stones into smaller fragments. These fragments then pass naturally through the urine over time. The procedure does not involve cuts or incisions. In most cases, anesthesia is not required.
Lithotripsy is performed as an outpatient procedure. Patients usually go home the same day. It works best for stones under 2 cm that are located in the kidney or upper ureter. Softer stone types respond better to this method.
The main benefits include minimal discomfort and quick recovery. Most patients return to daily activities within two to three days.
Lithotripsy may not work well for very large stones, hard stone compositions, or certain anatomical conditions. In such cases, alternative treatments provide better outcomes.
PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy)
PCNL is recommended for large or complex kidney stones. This includes stones between 2 and 5 cm, large branched kidney stones, and stones that did not respond to lithotripsy.
The procedure involves a small puncture in the back, usually about 1 cm. This allows direct access to the kidney. Stones are removed through a tube under imaging guidance.
Dr. Hafiz Abdul Momin uses a precision-focused approach during PCNL. Advanced imaging helps reduce tissue trauma and improve safety. Every step aims to protect kidney structure and function.
The procedure is done under anesthesia. Most patients stay in the hospital for two to three days. Recovery usually takes one to two weeks. The minimally invasive technique supports faster healing and reduced discomfort.
URS (Ureteroscopy)
URS is commonly used for stones located in the ureter. It is suitable for medium-sized stones between 5 mm and 2 cm.
A thin scope is passed through the urinary tract without external cuts. The stone is fragmented using a laser and removed safely. This method avoids skin incisions entirely.
Patients often go home the same day or after one night. Recovery usually takes three to five days. A temporary ureteric stent may be placed to help urine flow. This stent is removed once healing is complete.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about kidney specialists and kidney health
The best doctor depends on the condition. Medical kidney diseases are managed by nephrologists, while stones and surgical issues are treated by urology specialists. Dr. Hafiz Abdul Momin manages stone and urinary conditions with a focused surgical and clinical approach.
Persistent swelling in feet or ankles, extreme fatigue, foamy urine, changes in urination patterns, and loss of appetite with nausea. Other signs include uncontrolled blood pressure and shortness of breath.
Sugary sodas, energy drinks, and sweetened juices strain the kidneys and increase stone risk. Excess caffeine and frequent alcohol use can also worsen dehydration and kidney stress.
Processed meats, high-salt foods, sugary snacks, excess red meat, and foods rich in oxalates can burden kidney function. Regular intake increases stone formation and long-term kidney damage.
A urologist treats surgical and structural problems of the urinary system, including kidney stones, prostate disease, and urinary blockage. A kidney specialist, often called a nephrologist, treats medical kidney conditions such as kidney failure, blood pressure–related kidney disease, and electrolyte disorders.
