DC Kidney Stone

You have been evaluated in the Olive View-UCLA Emergency Department today for a kidney stone. The stone will pass on its own and will be expelled in the urine. Please use the strainer as directed to strain your urine until your stone passes. Please read the information provided to you on discharge. 

Please follow up with your primary care physician as needed. If you do not have a primary doctor, you can call your insurance company to find one.  If you do not have insurance, you can look for one on this paper list or go to the finance/registration department for more assistance.


Return to the Emergency Department if you experience worsening pain, fever, painful urination, blood in urine, weakness, chest pain, difficulty breathing or any other concerning symptoms. 

Thank you for choosing Olive View-UCLA for your care.
