A. Medicine, such as pain relievers and medications to help pass the stones, can be used to treat kidney stones.
B. Surgery, such as ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy, may be necessary if the stones are too large to pass on their own or if they are causing significant pain or blockage.
C. Lithotripsy is a non-invasive procedure that uses shock waves to break up the stones into smaller pieces that can be more easily passed from the body.
D. Dialysis cannot treat kidney stones.
Dialysis is a treatment for kidney failure and does not directly treat kidney stones. It is a procedure that filters waste products from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to function properly.
