RF for Urinary Stones
RF for Urinary Stones
- dehydration
a major factor in stone formation.
RF for Urinary Stones
- Diet
RF for Urinary Stones
- Urine Stasis
- A fair rate of urine flow would expel crystals before they have the chance to coalesce and grow.
- As in: Ureteric stricture. BPH (SPE), Neurogenic bladder.
RF for Urinary Stones
- UTI
Stones associated with chronic UTI are called “Struvite Stones”
RF for Urinary Stones
- Metabolic Conditions
a- Renal tubular acidosis.
b- Gout.
c- Cystinuria.

INVx for Urinary stone
- Rads
1) Kidney, Ureter & Bladder (KUB) X-Ray.
2) Abdominal and Pelvic Ultrasonography.
3) Intravenous urography “IVU” (Intravenous pyelography “IVP”).
4) Spiral CT (Non-Contrast CT of the abdomen and pelvis) “The Most sensitive”
5) Diuretic renogram.
Causes of RO Shadow in Hypocondrium
Causes of RO Shadow Along the course of the ureter
Advantages of Renal US
1) Kidneysite,size.
2) Grade of hydronephrosis, Cortical thickening.
3) Cortico-medullary differentiation.
4) Detection of Renal stones, cysts, tumors, perinephric collections.
Disadvantages of Renal US
- Operator dependent
- Ureteric stones may not be seen by US but the hydronephrosis resulting from obstruction is seen.
Appearence of Stones in Renal US
Renal stones appear as Hyper-echoic (white) with posterior acoustic shadow (black)
Renal US & Ureteric Stones
Ureteric stones may not be seen by US but the hydronephrosis resulting from obstruction is seen.
Advantages of Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP)
Disadvantages of Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP)
Appearence of Stones in Non-Contrast CT (NCCT)
Stones appear as hyperdense (white) area
What is the most sensitive investigation in detection of urinary calculi?
NCCT
Advantages of Non-Contrast CT (NCCT)
Disadvantages of Non-Contrast CT (NCCT)
Radiation exposure
Aspects of TTT of Acute Renal Colic
- Medical
- Renal drainage
TTT of Acute Renal Colic
- Medical
TTT of Acute Renal Colic
- Medical (Analgesics)
Indications for emergency drainage of the obstructed kidney in a case presenting with acute renal colic
Procedure for emergency drainage of the obstructed kidney in a case presenting with acute renal colic
1) Ureteric stent
2) Percutaneous Nephrostomy tube
Options for Treatment of Renal Stones
TTT of RENAL Stones
….
Indications of Conservative TTT of RENAL Stones
For incidentally discovered calyceal stones < 5 mm & not causing :
- Infection,
- Obstruction
- Hematuria.
Follow Up in TTT of RENAL Stones
By ultrasonography, every 3 months
Indications for active treatment of Renal stones
1) Developed pain.
2) Infection.
3) Obstruction.
4) Increased in size.

TTT of RENAL Stones
- Procedure of Flexible Ureteroscopy
1) Reach the renal stones through the urethra, bladder, and ureter.
2) Disintegrate the stone using Laser.
3) Then fragments can be removed by a basket.
TTT of RENAL Stones
- Indications of Flexible Ureteroscopy
Renal stones < 20 mm at any site
TTT of RENAL Stones
- Advantages of Flexible Ureteroscopy
TTT of RENAL Stones
- Disadvantages of Flexible Ureteroscopy
- Expensive instruments (flexible URS, Laser, Basket).
- Needs experienced surgeon.
TTT of RENAL Stones
- Open Surgery
- The role of open surgery for treatment of urinary stones is markedly decreased because of development of many endoscopic methods such as URS & PCNL.
TTT of RENAL Stones
- Laproscopy
TTT of RENAL Stones
- The possible operations include ……
1) Pyelolithotomy
2) Nephrolithotomy
3) Pyelonephrolithotomy
4) Lower polar partial nephrectomy
5) Nephrectomy
