A member asked:
What blood tests should i take to diagnose the cause of stone formation (2-3) in both my kidneys?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Examination of stone: Blood tests are not a good indicator of the cause of stone. If you pass a stone, save it for chemical examination. In the meantime you may see your doctor for a urine examination that may be more helpful than a blood test. You may consult this site for more information on this topic. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMHT0022762/ Drink water.
