Calculus in kidney. CT scan of abdomen and pelvis done, had ureteroscope and lithotripsy. Meaning?
Patient: I had ureteroscope  and  lithotripsy  last week for a 8 mm calculus in the right ureter,however the pre and post iv contrast enhanced CT of my abdomen and pelvis report says that I've  5mm calculus in the upper pole and 2 mm calculus in the lower pole of left kidney. What are the most probable treatments so that I can get rid of all my stones? Doctor: Hello,After the ureteroscope and lithotripy, the right ureter is treated already and as for the left upper pole  and lower pole calculus  are small in size. if its asymptomatic you can be on observational follow up and 3 mths ultrasonongrapy can be done for any inscreasement of size  of calculus. Need to drink plenty of water and activities like jumping or running exercise which might migrate to bladder. if it fall on ureter part you can have tamsulosin which inscreases the motality of the ureter.
