17
Q

Staghorn calculi

A

Nephrolithiasis (stones)

18

19
Q

Test of choice to exclude urinary tract obstruction

A

Renal ultrasound

20
Q

Renal ultrasound can identify

A
Renal cysts (PCKD) and masses 
Hydronephrosis 

Etc

21
Q

Non-invasive test to eval for renal blood flow

A

Doppler ultrasound

22
Q

Hypodense mass with internal echoes on ultrasound

A

Acute pyelonephritis

Q

Diagnostic test of choice for Nephrolithiasis

A

Non-contrast CT

The contrast will hide stones
-can detect radiolucent stones

24

  • not used as often because better tests available
28

A

1) IVP
2) urine cytology
3) cytoscopy
