Yes, urine samples can detect high levels of minerals that form kidney stones. Not only this, but urine along with blood samples can also help doctors find out the type of kidney stone you have.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Namaste. My name is Krishna, and I would like to understand my father lab reports, particularly related to the size of the kidney stone and the prostate. I am very worried about his health and would really appreciate your guidance.
