Question

Kidney stones can be diagnosed and confirmed by

• A. blood in urine
• B. fever and vomiting
• C. ultrasound scanning
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C ultrasound scanning

Kidney stones are insoluble deposits of salt crystals inside the kidney. Blood in urine, severe stomach ache, fever, vomiting, backache etc. are some of the symptoms of kidney stones. But these symptoms are not exclusive for kidney stones. Thus various imaging techniques like ultrasound scan and computed tomography are better methods to diagnose and confirm kidney stones.
