Medically Reviewed by The Medindia Medical Review Team on Dec 31, 2019


How is a stone detected?

When children experience the above symptoms, urine is tested in the lab. Presence of excess red cells or white cells; and sometimes presence of crystals in the urine suggests urinary stone disease.


Ultrasound scan helps to find out whether there is a stone. It also provides information about their position, size and number. In addition special tests like IVP (intra-venous pyelogram) X-Ray, or CT (computer tomography) scan may be required.
