Patient: My mother is suffering from hyperuricemia and now she has two stones in each kidney.Her physician has prescribed her anti biotics and anti inflammatory drugs . kindly guide me does she have to proceed with anti biotics and what should be the best treatment Doctor: Hello and welcome to HCM.As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.She doesn't need any anti-biotics. You should write her age and medication.Also,size of the stones and the scan reports should've been sent.1. She needs Allopurinol or Febuxostat,only if her s. uric acid is above 7.2. She should drink about 12-15 glasses of fluids daily.3. Magnesium ammonium phosphate with B6, tablets twice daily is needed.If you've any doubts,send the reports to me,as a direct question.Dr.Matthew J. Mangat.
