My name is Skye and I'm male, and I personally love my name (No, I'm not gay). I've never found a straight-up definition of this name, but I have been given multiple separate answers, and people have told me it means: eternal, winged, protected, sheltering, and enduring. So for me really, it's a survivor's name.
Diagnosis of kidney stones is best accomplished using an ultrasound, intravenous pyleography (IVP), or a CT scan. Most kidney stones will pass through the ureter to the bladder on their own with time. Treatment includes pain-control medications and, in some cases, medications to facilitate the passage of urine.
Services and treatments offered: 1  Ureteroscopy: Removal of kidney stones through the urinary tract with the aid of a small camera. A ureteroscopy is a procedure sometimes recommended for the treatment of kidney stones. 2  Lithotripsy: The break down of kidney stones using shock (sound) waves. This is also called ESWL (extra-corporal shock wave lithotripsy). Lithotripsy employs high-energy shock waves to break the stones into tiny pieces, allowing them to pass through the urinary tract and out of the body.
