Introduction

Staghorn calculi are large, complex kidney stones that occupy a significant portion of the kidney. If left untreated, they can lead to serious complications, including kidney damage or infection. Timely diagnosis and advanced treatment are essential. At Prabhakar Bhurke Clinic, patients receive specialized care from a super specialist nephrologist for effective and safe staghorn calculus treatment.

What Is a Staghorn Calculus?

A staghorn calculus is a type of kidney stone that grows into branching shapes, resembling the horns of a stag. These stones typically fill the kidney’s collecting system and are often composed of struvite (infection-related stones).

Causes of Staghorn Calculi

Common causes include:

Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Certain bacteria that produce ammonia
Poor urinary drainage
Long-standing kidney infections
Symptoms of Staghorn Calculus

In some cases, symptoms may be mild or absent initially. However, common signs include:

Persistent dull back or flank pain
Recurrent urinary infections
Fever and chills
