Urology

Urology addresses urinary-system and related surgical concerns. Kidney stones, bladder and prostate issues may use different subspecialty clinics. Kidney medical care may instead be handled by nephrology, so these services should not be treated as interchangeable.

Common consultation topics

• Urinary tract
• Kidney stones
• Prostate concerns

Records to discuss with the hospital

• Relevant urine tests, imaging and previous procedure records
• A medicine list and a short summary of previous urological care

Questions before booking

• Should my question be directed to urology or kidney medicine?
• Which campus and subspecialist handle the exact service under discussion?

Check the exact campus, clinician, appointment language and follow-up arrangements directly with the hospital. These are planning questions; the provider should tell you which documents and assessments are needed for your own appointment.
