On clinical examination, a tender palpable kidney may be
present.
INVESTIGATIONS
A plain X-ray
abdomen, including the kidney, ureter and
bladder
areas (KUB) should be done.
A urine examination will reveal cyrstaliuria or
haematuria.
An IVP will give additional information on
renal function and
result of back pressure on pelvis and kidney
(Hydronephrosis).
TREATMENT
Immediate treatment is with antispasmodics and
antibiotics.
A decision has to
be taken as regards surgical
intervention. A
stone less than 5 mm. can pass without help but if it
gets fixed
in position and causes hydronephrosis, it has to
be removed.
Large stones
causing pain and repeated infection
or haematuria
also need to be removed.
