Physician Insight & Safety Protocols

"Interpreting stone composition requires correlation with the patient's full metabolic and clinical picture. A single stone analysis can reveal lifelong risk patterns, but it must never be used in isolation to initiate or modify therapy. I recommend every result be discussed with a specialist to integrate dietary, pharmacological, and surgical considerations."

— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011

Medication & Safety Advisory

Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or adjust dosage without consulting your treating doctor, even if the stone composition suggests a dietary link.

Exclusion Criteria: This test is not suitable for acute medical emergencies; it requires a stable patient who can provide a stone sample.
Red Flags – Seek Immediate ER Care: Severe flank or abdominal pain, fever/chills, nausea/vomiting, blood in urine with clots, or inability to urinate. These symptoms may indicate obstruction or infection requiring urgent intervention.
Sample Integrity: Submit stone(s) in a clean, screw-capped container at room temperature or refrigerated. Avoid contamination with powder or foreign material.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance

1. What is a stone analysis with picture test, and why is it ordered?

Stone analysis with picture test identifies the exact chemical makeup of your kidney or gallbladder stone to prevent future recurrence. Using FTIR spectroscopy, we detect calcium oxalate, uric acid, struvite, cystine, or other crystals, while the digital image provides visual documentation. It is ordered after stone passage or surgical removal to tailor specific diet and medical therapies.

2. How should I prepare and collect the stone sample for this test?

No special preparation is needed, but you must collect the stone in a clean, screw-capped container without any additives. Rinse the stone briefly with water to remove blood or tissue, let it air-dry, then place it in the container. Keep the sample at room temperature or refrigerated if transport is delayed. You can avail our temperature-controlled courier pickup service for safe delivery.

3. When will I receive my results and what do they mean?

Your comprehensive report with digital images is available the next day if the sample reaches the lab by 9 am Monday through Saturday. The report shows the percentage of each component (e.g., 70% calcium oxalate, 30% uric acid) and includes a clinical interpretation. Our DHA-licensed consultants provide a complimentary telephonic guidance to explain the implications and suggest specialist follow-up if needed.
