Kidney stones: Treatment depends on how big the stones are and where they are in the steps to passage (from kidney to ureter to bladder) Stones that are too big to pass spontaneously can be broken up with ultrasound (Lithotripsy, also called ESWL). If you have uric acid stones, then taking Allopurinol can prevent new ones.
