Kidney stone pain can go from a dull ache to unbearable in minutes. If over-the-counter medication isn’t touching the pain, or you’re seeing blood in your urine, ER of Mesquite – Emergency Room is open 24/7 at 1080 E Cartwright Rd Ste 100 with board-certified physicians, an on-site CT scan, and IV pain relief. No appointment needed — this is the kidney stone emergency room Mesquite residents can walk into at any hour.
Go to the ER for kidney stones if you have severe pain unrelieved by over-the-counter medication, a fever above 101.5°F, persistent vomiting, blood in your urine, or difficulty urinating. Fever paired with stone pain can mean the stone is blocking urine flow and an infection is building behind it, which needs prompt treatment to protect your kidney.
If you have diabetes, reduced kidney function, or only one kidney, treat any stone symptoms as urgent rather than waiting to see if they pass. Kidney stone pain can also mimic other causes of abdominal pain, which is another reason not to guess at home. When you need an ER for kidney stones in the middle of the night, we are the closest option for most of east Dallas County.
A CT scan for kidney stones is the fastest way to confirm a stone’s size, location, and whether it’s causing a blockage. Your visit typically starts with a urine test to check for blood or infection, on-site lab testing to check kidney function, and a CT scan to pinpoint the stone. This tells our physicians whether you’re dealing with a stone that will likely pass on its own or one that needs a urology referral. If your symptoms also point to a urinary tract infection, we test for that in the same visit.
Emergency kidney stone pain relief at ER of Mesquite means IV treatment, not a prescription and a long wait. Kidney stone pain is frequently described as one of the most intense pains a person can experience, and it often comes in waves as the stone moves. Our team treats it with IV fluids to support your kidneys and IV pain medication that works faster than oral options, along with anti-nausea medication if you’re vomiting. We monitor you until your pain is controlled and your labs and imaging are back
Most kidney stones do not require surgery. Kidney stone treatment without surgery works for small stones, generally under 5mm, which often pass on their own within one to three weeks with hydration, pain control, and time. Our role in the ER is to rule out infection or blockage, get your pain under control, and give you a clear plan. If imaging shows a larger stone, one that isn’t moving, or signs of infection behind the blockage, we refer you to a urologist for the next step.
You’ll be seen by a board-certified ER physician, not routed through a long urgent care wait or a primary care referral. Unsure whether your pain needs the ER?

Go to the ER if you have severe pain unrelieved by over-the-counter medication, a fever above 101.5°F, persistent vomiting, blood in your urine, or difficulty urinating. These can signal infection or a blockage that needs prompt evaluation.
Yes. ER of Mesquite diagnoses kidney stones with imaging and lab work, then treats pain and nausea with IV medication. Stones too large to pass on their own are referred to a urologist for further care.
The ER runs urine and blood tests, orders a CT scan or ultrasound to locate the stone, then treats pain and nausea with IV medication while checking for signs of infection or blockage.
Five common kidney stone symptoms are sharp pain in the back or side, blood in the urine, pain during urination, nausea or vomiting, and a frequent urge to urinate as the stone moves.
Most small kidney stones pass on their own with fluids, pain control, and time — no surgery required. Larger stones that don’t pass may need a urology procedure after the ER visit.
Cost depends on your insurance, the imaging and labs needed, and your diagnosis. See our insurance coverage and understanding your bill pages, or ask our team once your evaluation is complete.
Small stones typically pass within one to three weeks, though some take up to six weeks. Larger stones may require a procedure. Your ER team can give you a timeline based on your imaging.
