Kidney stones(renal calculi) are hard sediments that form in the kidney. Smaller stones pass down the ureter and may be expelled with little or no pain. Larger stones may stay lodged in the kidney or ureter and cause severe flank pain known as renal colic. Hydronephrosisis an accumulation of...
Ultrasound of her kidneys demonstrated left sided hydronephrosis with multiple calculi as well as a normal appearing right kidney with multiple small non-obstructing calculi. Ultimately, patient’s renal function worsened to stage 4 kidney disease. Due to the threat of hemodialysis, our patient ...
Conclusion This study found that melamine easily forms sand-like urinary calculi in infants and young children. The obstruction of ureteropelvic junction could cause hydronephrosis, and in severe cases, affect kidney function. Hydration therapy could promote the stone discharging. Serious cases of ...

Eighteen calculi (51.4%) fragmented completely with the Lithoclast. The mean operative time in this group was 34 minutes (range 20-58 minutes). CONCLUSION: In the presence of moderate to severe hydronephrosis, blind access and totally tubeless PCNL is an effective option for large, impacted ...
Re-admission was more likely in previous stone formers or patients with concurrent stone burden elsewhere in the urinary tract (p < 0.05). Conclusion: First-time stone formers presenting to A & E with uncomplicated solitary distal ureteric calculi < 6mm may not routinely need follow-up....
