Kidney Stone Diet

In this episode, Jill discusses the difference between nephrologists and urologists and when to see each. She explains that urologists are surgeons who specialize in diseases of the bladder and kidneys, including kidney stone removal. Nephrologists, on the other hand, are medical doctors who manage kidney-related diseases and can also help with kidney stone prevention. Most kidney stone formers do not need both specialists, but may consider seeing a nephrologist if they have recurrent stones or other medical conditions. It is important to find a nephrologist who specializes in kidney stones to ensure the best care.
