nt as proper hydration.

“Clearly, when it comes to water consumption, what is needed is a cultural change, and schools have to play a role in making bottled water available and limiting soft drinks, as well as allowing children to visit the restroom as needed,” says urologist Yegappan Lakshmanan, M. D., co-director of the Center’s pediatric stone clinic.

A good way for a child to tell if he or she is drinking enough water is the urge to urinate every three hours. If a child urinates less frequently than that, it might be a sign of dehydration, Lakshmanan says.

Signs and symptoms of kidney stones include:

? Intense pain in the lower-back and/or in the sides
? Frequent and painful urination
? Blood in the urine and/or cloudy urine
? Urinary tract infections, secondary to kidney stones, accompanied by fever

The pediatric kidney stone clinic at the Children’s Center is a one-stop shop that consolidates under one roof imaging technology, treatment, management and nutrition and lifestyle counseling.
