Uric acid kidney stones?

No stones present on x ray which I read could be uric acid stones. What blood work or imaging did you get done to diagnose those?

IVP and CT will reveal the stone.

I have got ultrasound done, does that reveal anything?

My Litholink showed a pH of 5.53, which my urologist flagged as a uric acid risk factor. In my case sodium was the bigger driver but the low pH was on the radar. Have you had a 24-hour urine test? That'll tell you exactly what's going on.
