CASE PRESENTATION
Medical Student Academic Format
PATIENT IDENTIFICATION
| Name | Moinuddin Seikh |
| Age / Sex | 34 years / Male |
| Ward | Urology, Bed 14 |
| Date of Admission | 15/07/2026 |
| Date of Operation | 17/07/2026 |
VITAL SIGNS (on admission)
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Temperature | 98.1°F (Afebrile) |
| Pulse | 66 beats/min, regular |
| Respiratory Rate | 20 breaths/min |
| Blood Pressure | Not recorded |
CHIEF COMPLAINT
Right flank pain for 3-4 months.
(Patient's own words: "Intermittent pain, comes on sitting for too long, feels like gas, relieved by antiflatulents.")
Note on discordance: The patient attributed the pain to flatulence/gas, but the clinical assessment identified it as right flank pain consistent with ureteric colic. This is a common presentation - ureteric pain is often visceral and colicky, and patients may misinterpret it as GI discomfort.
HISTORY OF PRESENTING ILLNESS
A 34-year-old male presented to the urology outpatient department with a history of right flank pain for 3-4 months.
- Onset: Sudden
- Progression: Gradually progressive
- Character: Colicky in nature (intermittent, came and went)
- Aggravating factors: Prolonged sitting (as described by patient)
- Relieving factors: Appeared to subside with antiflatulent medication (patient misattributed cause)
- Radiation: Not documented
- Severity: Moderate (did not incapacitate daily activity significantly)
Associated symptoms - all ABSENT:
- Nausea / Vomiting - Absent
- Fever / Chills - Absent
- Hematuria (blood in urine) - Absent
- Dysuria (painful urination) - Absent
- Frequency / Urgency - Not documented
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY
| Left kidney stone | Small (~2 mm), previously treated medically (likely with alpha-blockers / hydration for spontaneous expulsion) |
| ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) | 3 sessions - received in 2025, for the right-sided stone |
PAST SURGICAL HISTORY
- Right forearm fracture fixation surgery - approximately 20 years ago
PERSONAL HISTORY
- Not documented in available records
- Dietary habits, hydration status, occupation (relevant to stone risk factors) - to be elicited
DRUG / ALLERGY HISTORY
- Not documented
FAMILY HISTORY
- Not documented
CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS
Right ureteric calculus (stone in the right ureter) - likely mid or proximal ureter, given:
- 3-4 months of persistent right flank pain
- Colicky character
- Prior ESWL with 3 sessions (suggesting a stone that was resistant to shock-wave fragmentation or had recurred)
- No fever (ruling out infected obstructive uropathy / urosepsis at presentation)
- No hematuria (gross hematuria is absent in ~10-30% of ureteric colic cases)
INVESTIGATIONS (Expected - to be documented)
| Investigation | Expected Finding / Relevance |
|---|---|
| NCCT KUB (Non-contrast CT - gold standard) | Identify stone size, location, density (Hounsfield units), and degree of hydronephrosis |
| USG abdomen & pelvis | Assess hydronephrosis, kidney size |
| Urine routine & microscopy | Microhematuria, pyuria, crystals |
| Urine culture & sensitivity | Rule out UTI prior to surgery |
| Serum creatinine / BUN | Baseline renal function |
| Serum electrolytes, calcium, uric acid | Stone risk factors |
| CBC | Baseline; WBC for infection |
| Coagulation profile (PT/INR) | Pre-operative requirement |
| X-ray KUB | Radio-opaque stones (calcium oxalate/phosphate visible; uric acid stones are radio-lucent) |
| IVP (Intravenous Pyelogram) | If needed for anatomy (less common with CT available) |
OPERATIVE PROCEDURE
Performed on: 17/07/2026
Procedure: Right Laser Ureteroscopy (URSC) + DJ Stent (Double-J stent) insertion
Written in prescription as: R. LASIR URSC + DT Uterus done to GA
- "LASIR URSC" = Laser Ureteroscopy (Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy via ureteroscope)
- "DT" = likely "DJ stent / Double-J stent" insertion post-procedure
- "GA" = General Anaesthesia
What this procedure involves:
- A ureteroscope (thin flexible/semirigid camera) is passed up through the urethra → bladder → into the right ureter
- The stone is visualized directly
- A Ho:YAG (Holmium:YAG) laser fiber is passed through the working channel and fires energy at the stone, fragmenting it into dust or small pieces (laser lithotripsy)
- Fragments are either dusted away or removed with a basket
- A Double-J (DJ) stent is placed at the end - a soft coiled plastic tube that runs from the kidney to the bladder, keeping the ureter open, allowing passage of any remaining fragments, reducing post-op ureteric spasm and swelling
Why ESWL failed / was insufficient:
The patient had already undergone 3 sessions of ESWL in 2025 without complete stone clearance. Ureteroscopy with laser is now considered superior to ESWL for ureteric stones based on higher stone-free rates, particularly for mid and distal ureteric stones. (Campbell-Walsh Urology: ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy have largely replaced ESWL for ureteric stones given higher stone-free rates and fewer secondary procedures.)
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSES
| Diagnosis | Supporting / Against |
|---|---|
| Ureteric calculus (right) - PRIMARY | Colicky flank pain, previous stone history, prior ESWL, NCCT likely confirmatory |
| Right renal colic | Part of same spectrum |
| Appendicitis | Right-sided, but no fever, no vomiting, no RIF guarding documented |
| Musculoskeletal pain | No postural/movement correlation clearly documented |
| Right renal pelvis / UPJ obstruction | Possible if stone at PUJ |
MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
Pre-operative:
- Analgesia (NSAIDs / opioids for ureteric colic)
- IV antibiotics (prophylaxis before ureteroscopy)
- Pre-operative optimization
Operative (17/7/26):
- Right Laser Ureteroscopy + DJ stent insertion under GA (done)
Post-operative care:
- DJ stent removal scheduled at ~4-6 weeks (OPD cystoscopy)
- Hydration, analgesics, alpha-blockers (tamsulosin) for stent symptoms
- Urine culture follow-up
- NCCT KUB at 4-6 weeks to confirm stone clearance
- Metabolic workup for stone prevention (24-hour urine, serum calcium/uric acid)
- Dietary advice: high fluid intake (>2.5 L/day), dietary modification based on stone type
STONE DISEASE BACKGROUND (Relevant Academic Points)
- Recurrence rate of renal stones is ~50% at 10 years without preventive measures
- Risk factors to explore: low fluid intake, high protein/oxalate/sodium diet, family history, metabolic syndrome, hyperparathyroidism, RTA
- Stone types: Calcium oxalate (most common, ~70-80%), uric acid, struvite, cystine
- The patient's bilateral stone history (left kidney stone in past, right ureteric stone now) suggests a systemic metabolic predisposition - metabolic stone workup is warranted
Presenting student should be prepared to discuss: NCCT KUB findings, stone-free rate comparison of ESWL vs. ureteroscopy, indications for DJ stenting, and metabolic workup for recurrent urolithiasis.

CASE PRESENTATION (Updated with Investigations)
Medical Student Academic Format
PATIENT IDENTIFICATION
| Name | Moinuddin Seikh |
| Age / Sex | 34 years / Male |
| Ward | Urology, Bed 14 |
| Date of Admission | 15/07/2026 |
| Date of Operation | 17/07/2026 |
INVESTIGATIONS
1. NCCT KUB (Non-Contrast CT - Gold Standard)
Findings:
- Right kidney: Normal in size, shape, outline, and position
- No focal renal lesion; perirenal fat space normal
- ~8.2 mm hyperdense calculus noted in the right upper ureter, approximately 5-8 cm distal to the pelviureteric junction (PUJ)
- Average HU = 1200 (very high density - consistent with calcium oxalate monohydrate stone)
- Resultant mild-to-moderate proximal hydroureteronephrosis noted (obstructive changes)
Impression: Right upper ureteric calculus with obstructive hydroureteronephrosis
Academic note on HU value: Hounsfield Unit (HU) of a stone on NCCT predicts stone composition and helps guide treatment. HU >1000 indicates a hard stone (typically calcium oxalate monohydrate) - these are resistant to ESWL, which explains why 3 sessions of ESWL in 2025 failed to clear it. Laser ureteroscopy (Ho:YAG) is the preferred modality for such hard, ESWL-resistant stones.
2. X-ray KUB (Lumbosacral Spine, AP & Lateral Views)
Findings:
- Radio-opaque calculus noted at the level of L3 vertebra on the right side
Impression: Ureterolithiasis (right ureter at L3 level)
Academic note: The right ureter crosses the L3 vertebral level in the upper ureter. A radio-opaque shadow at L3 right side on plain X-ray, in a patient with right flank pain, is highly suggestive of an upper ureteric calculus. Calcium-containing stones are radio-opaque; uric acid stones are radio-lucent and invisible on plain X-ray.
3. Ultrasound Abdomen (USG)
Findings:
- Right ureter dilated up to the upper part
- One calculus ~12 mm noted in the right upper ureter
- Hydroureter and mild hydronephrosis on right side
Impression: Ureterolithiasis with hydroureter and mild hydronephrosis (right side)
Note on size discrepancy: CT shows 8.2 mm; USG shows 12 mm. This is a known phenomenon - USG overestimates stone size due to acoustic shadowing and measurement artifact. NCCT KUB is more accurate for stone sizing and is the gold standard. The CT measurement of 8.2 mm should be taken as the true size.
4. Liver Function Tests (LFT)
| Parameter | Value | Normal Range | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Bilirubin | 1.2 mg/dL | 0.2 - 1.2 | Upper limit of normal |
| Conjugated (Direct) Bilirubin | 0.4 mg/dL | 0 - 0.3 | Mildly elevated |
| Unconjugated (Indirect) Bilirubin | 1.1 mg/dL | 0.1 - 1.0 | Mildly elevated |
| Total Protein | 5.3 g/dL | 6.0 - 8.3 | Low |
| Albumin | 3.7 g/dL | 3.5 - 5.0 | Normal (low-normal) |
| Globulin | 1.6 g/dL | 2.0 - 3.5 | Low |
| SGOT (AST) | 32 U/L | 10 - 40 | Normal |
| SGPT (ALT) | 34 U/L | 7 - 56 | Normal |
| Alkaline Phosphatase | 33 U/L | 44 - 147 | Low-normal / Slightly low |
Interpretation:
- Liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT) are within normal limits - no hepatocellular damage
- Mild elevation of conjugated bilirubin is noted but clinically not significant at this level
- Low total protein and globulin may suggest mild nutritional deficiency or chronic illness - not an acute concern but worth noting
- Pre-operative liver function is acceptable - no contraindication to GA from hepatic standpoint
5. Renal Function Tests (RFT) & Metabolic Panel
| Parameter | Value | Normal Range | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) | 10.6 mg/dL | 7 - 20 | Normal |
| Serum Creatinine | 0.84 mg/dL | 0.7 - 1.3 | Normal |
| eGFR | 117 mL/min/1.73m² | >90 | Normal (G1) |
| Serum Calcium (Ca²+) | 10.1 mg/dL | 8.5 - 10.5 | Normal (upper limit) |
| Serum Uric Acid | 4.89 mg/dL | 3.5 - 7.2 | Normal |
Interpretation:
- Renal function is completely preserved despite right-sided obstruction with hydroureteronephrosis - this indicates the obstruction, although moderate, has not significantly impaired overall GFR (the left kidney is compensating)
- eGFR 117 = normal/hyperfiltration range - reassuring pre-operatively
- Serum Calcium 10.1 mg/dL - at the upper limit; hypercalcemia (>10.5) is a metabolic risk factor for calcium stone disease. This is borderline and warrants a repeat fasting calcium + PTH level post-operatively as part of metabolic workup
- Uric Acid 4.89 mg/dL - normal; uric acid stone unlikely to be the dominant type (supported by high HU on CT)
- Stone type likely: Calcium Oxalate - supported by high HU (~1200), radio-opacity on X-ray, and upper-limit calcium
FINAL DIAGNOSIS
Right upper ureteric calculus (8.2 mm, at L3 level, ~5-8 cm distal to PUJ)
- With proximal hydroureteronephrosis (right)
- ESWL-resistant (high HU 1200, 3 prior ESWL sessions failed)
- Likely calcium oxalate monohydrate composition
- Bilateral stone disease (left kidney - prior history)
ICD Code: N20.1 - Calculus of ureter
INDICATION FOR SURGERY
| Factor | Relevance |
|---|---|
| Stone size 8.2 mm | >6 mm stones have very low (<20%) spontaneous passage rate |
| Proximal hydroureteronephrosis | Significant obstruction threatening renal function |
| 3 failed ESWL sessions (2025) | ESWL failure, likely due to high stone density (HU 1200) |
| 3-4 months of symptoms | Prolonged obstruction |
| Preserved renal function | Patient fit for definitive surgical management |
All four major indications for active intervention met: persistent obstruction, failed conservative/ESWL management, stone size, and symptom duration.
OPERATIVE PROCEDURE (17/07/2026)
Right Laser Ureteroscopy (Ho:YAG) + Double-J Stent Insertion under GA
Step-by-step:
- Patient placed in lithotomy position under GA
- Rigid/semi-rigid ureteroscope passed per urethra → bladder → right ureteric orifice → up to the stone in upper ureter
- Stone visualized at ~5-8 cm below PUJ
- Ho:YAG laser fiber (365-μm for semirigid scope) used to fragment the calculus - either dusted or broken into passable fragments
- Basket extraction of larger fragments if needed
- DJ stent placed (from right renal pelvis to bladder) to:
- Maintain ureteric patency post-instrumentation
- Allow passage of residual stone fragments
- Prevent ureteric edema-related obstruction
- Relieve hydronephrosis
Why Ho:YAG laser was chosen:
- Stone HU ~1200 = extremely hard stone
- Ho:YAG laser can fragment stones of any composition and hardness
- ESWL is much less effective for stones with HU >900-1000 (Campbell-Walsh Urology)
- Ureteroscopy + laser has stone-free rates of >90% for ureteric stones vs ~70-75% for ESWL
POST-OPERATIVE PLAN
| Immediate | Monitor urine output, vitals, analgesics (NSAIDs/opioids), IV antibiotics |
| Stent symptoms | Alpha-blocker (Tamsulosin 0.4 mg OD) reduces ureteric spasm and stent discomfort |
| DJ stent removal | 4-6 weeks post-op via outpatient flexible cystoscopy |
| Stone clearance check | NCCT KUB at 4-6 weeks after stent removal |
| Metabolic workup | 24-hour urine (oxalate, calcium, citrate, uric acid, volume) after stone clearance |
| Repeat calcium + PTH | Given serum Ca²+ at upper limit (10.1) - rule out primary hyperparathyroidism |
| Stone prevention | High fluid intake (>2.5 L/day, target urine output >2 L/day), dietary advice |
SUMMARY (One-liner for bedside presentation)
"Moinuddin Seikh, 34-year-old male, presented with 3-4 months of right flank pain, found to have an 8.2 mm right upper ureteric calculus at L3 level with proximal hydroureteronephrosis on NCCT KUB (HU 1200), with prior failed ESWL x3 sessions, normal renal function (eGFR 117), admitted on 15/7/26 and underwent right Ho:YAG laser ureteroscopy with DJ stenting on 17/7/26 under GA."
Key discussion points for viva: (1) Why did ESWL fail? - HU >1000. (2) Why DJ stent placed? - post-URS ureteric edema + residual fragments. (3) Why eGFR normal despite obstruction? - contralateral kidney compensating. (4) Significance of upper-limit calcium? - rule out hyperparathyroidism as stone risk factor.

No proper chief complaint
You're right. The chief complaint should be written in the patient's own words, in a tabular format with complaints and duration. Here is the corrected version:
Chief Complaints
As told by the patient himself:
| Sr. No. | Complaints | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Pain in the right side of abdomen (flank) | 3-4 months |
| 2. | Pain aggravated on prolonged sitting | 3-4 months |
| 3. | Sensation of gas / bloating associated with pain | 3-4 months |
Note: Patient described the pain as intermittent, felt like "gas pain," came on sitting for too long, and used to disappear when he took gas medication - hence he initially did not consider it serious. The clinical diagnosis of right ureteric colic was established on further evaluation.

ETIOLOGY / RISK FACTORS
Present in Book (Lewis's Medical-Surgical Nursing)
Lewis identifies the following risk factors for urinary tract calculi (urolithiasis):
1. Non-Modifiable Risk Factors
| Risk Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| Age | Most common between 20-55 years; peak incidence in 3rd-5th decade |
| Sex | Males are 2-3x more likely to develop stones than females |
| Family / Personal History | H/O previous stones significantly increases recurrence risk |
| Geography | Higher incidence in hot, dry climates ("stone belt") - increased sweating = concentrated urine |
| Genetic factors | Cystinuria (autosomal recessive), idiopathic hypercalciuria have genetic components |
2. Modifiable Risk Factors
| Risk Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| Low fluid intake / Dehydration | Most important factor - concentrated urine promotes crystal supersaturation and precipitation |
| Dietary factors | High animal protein, high sodium, high oxalate diet (spinach, nuts, tea), low calcium diet paradoxically increases oxalate absorption |
| Occupation | Sedentary jobs, outdoor workers in hot environments with inadequate hydration |
| Obesity / Metabolic syndrome | Associated with uric acid and calcium oxalate stones |
| Hypercalciuria | Excess calcium in urine - due to hyperparathyroidism, absorptive or renal causes |
| Hyperoxaluria | Excess oxalate - dietary or malabsorption-related |
| Hyperuricosuria | Excess uric acid - associated with gout, high purine diet |
| Hypocitraturia | Citrate is a natural inhibitor of stone formation; its absence promotes stones |
| Urinary tract infection | Urea-splitting bacteria (Proteus, Klebsiella) cause struvite stones |
| Urinary stasis / Obstruction | Promotes crystal deposition |
| Medications | Indinavir, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, triamterene, laxative abuse |
| Immobilization | Increases bone calcium resorption and urinary calcium |
(Lewis's Medical-Surgical Nursing, Chapter on Urinary Tract Calculi; supported by Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine)
Present in Patient (Moinuddin Seikh)
| Risk Factor from Book | Present in Patient? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Age 20-55 years (peak) | ✅ YES | 34 years - within peak incidence group |
| Male sex | ✅ YES | Male - 2-3x higher risk than females |
| Personal history of stones | ✅ YES | H/O left kidney stone (treated medically); now right ureteric stone - bilateral stone disease = high recurrence tendency |
| H/O previous ESWL | ✅ YES | 3 settings of ESWL in 2025 - stone was partially resistant |
| Occupation - physically demanding / outdoor | ✅ LIKELY | Electrician - outdoor work, physical exertion, likely inadequate hydration during work in West Bengal heat |
| Hot climate / geography | ✅ YES | West Bengal, India - hot and humid climate, heavy sweating leads to concentrated urine |
| Low fluid intake (presumed) | ✅ LIKELY | Occupation as electrician with outdoor work and no documentation of adequate fluid intake |
| Dietary factors | NOT DOCUMENTED | No detailed dietary history available in records |
| Hypercalciuria | BORDERLINE | Serum Ca²+ = 10.1 mg/dL (upper limit of normal) - 24-hr urine calcium pending |
| Hyperuricosuria | ❌ NO | Serum uric acid = 4.89 mg/dL - within normal range |
| Hypertension / Metabolic syndrome | ❌ NO | No H/O HTN, DM documented |
| Obesity | NOT DOCUMENTED | BMI not calculated (weight 65 kg, height not recorded) |
| Medications causing stones | ❌ NO | No such medications |
| UTI / Infection | ❌ NO | No fever, no dysuria, no documented UTI |
| Immobilization | ❌ NO | Active, ambulatory patient |
| Family history | NOT DOCUMENTED | Not elicited in history |
Summary
The most likely contributing risk factors in this patient are: male sex, age in peak stone-forming decade, hot climate (West Bengal), occupation as electrician (outdoor work with possible inadequate hydration), bilateral stone disease history (left kidney + right ureter), and borderline serum calcium. The stone composition is most likely calcium oxalate based on HU ~1200 on NCCT.

ETIOLOGY / RISK FACTORS
(Reference: Lewis's Medical-Surgical Nursing)
| Sr. No. | Risk Factor | Present in Book (Description) | Present in Patient |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Age (20-55 years) | Peak incidence of urinary calculi occurs between 20-55 years of age. Stone formation is most common in the 3rd to 5th decade of life | ✅ Present - Patient is 34 years old, falls within the peak incidence age group |
| 2. | Male Sex | Males are 2-3 times more likely to develop urinary calculi than females due to higher urinary excretion of calcium and uric acid | ✅ Present - Patient is male |
| 3. | Personal History of Stones | Previous history of urinary calculi is the strongest predictor of recurrence. Recurrence rates are 11% at 2 years, 20% at 5 years, and 31% at 10 years | ✅ Present - H/O left kidney stone (treated medically) + 3 sessions of ESWL in 2025 for right-sided stone. Bilateral stone disease indicates high recurrence tendency |
| 4. | Hot Climate / Geography | People living in hot, dry, or tropical climates are at higher risk due to increased sweating, reduced urine volume, and concentrated urine promoting crystal supersaturation | ✅ Present - Patient lives in West Bengal, India - hot and humid climate with heavy sweating |
| 5. | Occupation | Outdoor workers, physically demanding occupations, and those with limited access to fluids during work are at higher risk due to chronic mild dehydration and concentrated urine | ✅ Present - Patient is an Electrician - outdoor physical work, likely with inadequate fluid intake during work hours |
| 6. | Low Fluid Intake / Dehydration | Most important modifiable risk factor. Reduced fluid intake leads to concentrated urine, increased solute supersaturation, and crystal precipitation. Daily urine output should be >2 L to reduce stone risk | ✅ Likely Present - Occupation as outdoor electrician in hot climate suggests inadequate hydration; no documentation of adequate fluid intake in records |
| 7. | Dietary Factors | High animal protein increases urinary calcium, oxalate, and uric acid excretion. High sodium increases urinary calcium. High oxalate foods (spinach, nuts, tea) promote calcium oxalate stones. Low calcium diet paradoxically increases oxalate absorption from gut | Not documented - detailed dietary history not elicited in available records |
| 8. | Hypercalciuria | Excess urinary calcium is the most common metabolic abnormality in stone formers. Causes include hyperparathyroidism, absorptive hypercalciuria, and renal hypercalciuria. Calcium-containing stones account for ~80% of all stones | ⚠️ Borderline - Serum Ca²+ = 10.1 mg/dL (upper limit of normal). 24-hour urine calcium not yet done. PTH not checked. Warrants post-op metabolic workup |
| 9. | Hyperuricosuria | Excess urinary uric acid promotes uric acid stone formation and also acts as a nidus for calcium oxalate stones. Associated with gout, high purine diet, and chemotherapy | ❌ Absent - Serum uric acid = 4.89 mg/dL (normal range). Uric acid stone unlikely |
| 10. | Hypocitraturia | Citrate is a natural inhibitor of stone crystallization. Low urinary citrate levels remove this protective mechanism and promote stone formation | Not assessed - 24-hour urine citrate not done |
| 11. | Urinary Tract Infection | Urea-splitting bacteria (Proteus, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus) convert urea to ammonia, raising urinary pH and promoting struvite (magnesium-ammonium-phosphate) stone formation | ❌ Absent - No fever, no dysuria, no documented UTI. Stone composition likely calcium oxalate (HU ~1200), not struvite |
| 12. | Metabolic Disorders (DM, Obesity) | Obesity and diabetes are strongly associated with kidney stones, particularly uric acid and calcium oxalate types. Insulin resistance reduces urinary citrate and increases uric acid excretion | ❌ Absent - No H/O DM. No documented obesity (weight 65 kg) |
| 13. | Immobilization | Prolonged immobilization increases bone resorption, raises serum and urinary calcium, promoting calcium stone formation | ❌ Absent - Patient is ambulatory and active |
| 14. | Family History | First-degree relatives of stone formers have 2-3x higher risk due to shared genetic and dietary factors. Conditions like cystinuria and idiopathic hypercalciuria have genetic components | Not documented - family history of stone disease not elicited |
| 15. | Medications | Indinavir, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, triamterene, and laxative abuse increase risk of stone formation | ❌ Absent - No such medications in patient's records |

| 2. | Male Sex | Males are 2-3 times more likely to develop urinary calculi than females due to higher urinary excretion of calcium and uric acid | ✅ Present - Patient is male |
| 3. | Personal / Past History of Stones | Previous history of urinary calculi is the strongest predictor of recurrence. Recurrence rates are 11% at 2 years, 20% at 5 years, and 31% at 10 years | ✅ Present - H/O left kidney stone (treated medically) + 3 sessions of ESWL in 2025 for right-sided stone. Bilateral stone disease indicates high recurrence tendency |

| 5. | Geography / Climate | People living in hot, dry, or tropical climates are at higher risk due to increased sweating, reduced urine volume, and concentrated urine promoting crystal supersaturation | ✅ Present - Patient lives in West Bengal, India - hot and humid climate with heavy sweating |
| 6. | Metabolic / Genetic Disorders | Conditions like hyperparathyroidism, renal tubular acidosis, cystinuria (autosomal recessive), and idiopathic hypercalciuria have a genetic or inherent metabolic basis that predisposes to stone formation | ⚠️ Borderline - Serum Ca²+ = 10.1 mg/dL (upper limit of normal). PTH not checked. Metabolic workup pending post-operatively |
| MODIFIABLE RISK FACTORS | |||
| 7. | Low Fluid Intake / Dehydration | Most important modifiable risk factor. Reduced fluid intake leads to concentrated urine, increased solute supersaturation, and crystal precipitation. Daily urine output should be >2 L to reduce stone risk | ✅ Likely Present - Outdoor electrician in hot climate; no documentation of adequate fluid intake. Chronic mild dehydration highly probable |
| 8. | Occupation | Outdoor workers and those in physically demanding jobs with limited access to fluids during work hours are at higher risk due to chronic dehydration and excessive sweating | ✅ Present - Patient is an Electrician - outdoor physical work, likely with inadequate fluid intake during work hours |
| 9. | Dietary Factors | High animal protein increases urinary calcium, oxalate, and uric acid. High sodium increases urinary calcium. High oxalate foods (spinach, nuts, tea) promote calcium oxalate stones. Low calcium diet paradoxically increases oxalate gut absorption | Not documented - detailed dietary history not elicited in available records |
| 10. | Hypercalciuria | Excess urinary calcium is the most common metabolic abnormality in stone formers (~80% of stones are calcium-containing).

| 12. | Hypocitraturia | Citrate is a natural inhibitor of stone crystallization. Low urinary citrate removes this protective mechanism and promotes stone formation. Low fruit/vegetable intake is a common cause | Not assessed - 24-hour urine citrate not done. To be checked in metabolic workup |
| 13. | Urinary Tract Infection | Urea-splitting bacteria (Proteus, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus) convert urea to ammonia, raise urinary pH, and promote struvite stone formation - most common cause of staghorn calculi | ❌ Absent - No fever, no dysuria, no documented UTI. Stone is likely calcium oxalate (HU ~1200), not struvite |
| 14. | Obesity / Metabolic Syndrome (DM) | Obesity and diabetes are strongly associated with kidney stones, particularly uric acid and calcium oxalate types. Insulin resistance reduces urinary citrate and increases uric acid excretion | ❌ Absent - No H/O DM or documented obesity. Weight 65 kg |

Past medical and surgical history
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY
| Sr. No. | Condition | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Urinary Calculus - Left Kidney | Patient gives history of left kidney stone, approximately 2 mm in size. Treated conservatively with medication (likely alpha-blockers / hydration for spontaneous expulsion - exact medication unknown as per patient) | Resolved - treated medically |
| 2. | Hypertension | No history of hypertension | ❌ Absent |
| 3. | Diabetes Mellitus | No history of diabetes mellitus | ❌ Absent |
| 4. | Thyroid Disease | No history of thyroid disorder | ❌ Absent |
| 5. | Tuberculosis | No history of tuberculosis | ❌ Absent |
| 6. | Allergy | Allergic to Brinjal (Eggplant) - food allergy. No known drug allergy documented | ⚠️ Food allergy - Brinjal |
PAST SURGICAL HISTORY
| Sr. No. | Surgery / Procedure | Details | Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Right Forearm Fracture Fixation Surgery | Patient gives history of surgical fixation of right forearm fracture. Nature of fixation (ORIF / K-wire / plating) not documented | Approximately 20 years ago (~2006) |
| 2. | ESWL - Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy | 3 sessions of ESWL performed for right-sided ureteric/renal stone. Stone was resistant to ESWL (likely due to high stone density - HU ~1200 on NCCT), leading to current surgical intervention | 2025 (3 settings) |
Clinical Significance of Past History:
- Bilateral stone disease (left kidney + right ureter) strongly suggests an underlying systemic metabolic predisposition - warrants complete metabolic workup post-operatively
- 3 failed ESWL sessions directly explain why laser ureteroscopy was chosen as definitive treatment
- No co-morbidities (no HTN, DM, thyroid disease) - patient is otherwise healthy, which contributed to low anaesthetic risk for GA

Past medical and surgical history
I think you want this in the "Present in Book / Present in Patient" format like the etiology section. Let me redo it properly:
PAST MEDICAL & SURGICAL HISTORY
(Reference: Lewis's Medical-Surgical Nursing)
| Sr. No. | History | Present in Book (What to Assess & Why) | Present in Patient |
|---|---|---|---|
| PAST MEDICAL HISTORY | |||
| 1. | Previous Urinary Calculi | Lewis emphasizes that personal history of urinary stones is the single strongest risk factor for recurrence. A prior stone episode increases recurrence risk significantly - 50% recurrence within 10 years without preventive measures | ✅ Present - H/O left kidney stone (~2 mm), treated conservatively with medication. Now presenting with right ureteric calculus - bilateral stone disease confirming recurrent stone former |
| 2. | Hypertension | HTN is associated with increased risk of urinary stone disease and also affects renal perfusion. Must be assessed pre-operatively for anaesthetic risk | ❌ Absent - No history of hypertension. BP on admission 130/80 mmHg - normal |
| 3. | Diabetes Mellitus | DM is associated with uric acid stone formation due to insulin resistance reducing urinary pH and citrate. Also increases surgical and anaesthetic risk | ❌ Absent - No history of DM. FBS/PPBS = 66 / HbA1c = 5.4 - normal |
| 4. | Thyroid Disease | Hyperthyroidism increases bone resorption and urinary calcium, predisposing to calcium stone formation | ❌ Absent - No history of thyroid disease |
| 5. | Tuberculosis | Renal TB can cause calcification, strictures, and predispose to stone formation due to urinary stasis and altered anatomy | ❌ Absent - No history of TB |
| 6. | Gout / Hyperuricemia | Gout is associated with uric acid stone formation due to elevated serum and urinary uric acid levels | ❌ Absent - No history of gout. Serum uric acid = 4.89 mg/dL (normal) |
| 7. | Recurrent UTI | Recurrent UTIs with urea-splitting organisms (Proteus, Klebsiella) lead to struvite stone formation. History of UTI is important to elicit | ❌ Absent - No history of recurrent UTI. No fever or dysuria at presentation |
| 8. | Allergy History | Lewis states allergy history must always be documented before any surgical or medical intervention to prevent adverse drug reactions | ⚠️ Present - Allergic to Brinjal (eggplant) - food allergy. No known drug allergy documented. Relevant to nursing care - dietary modifications needed |
| PAST SURGICAL HISTORY | |||
| 9. | Previous Urological Surgery / Procedures | Lewis highlights that previous urological instrumentation, anatomical abnormalities, or prior stone procedures directly influence current surgical planning and risk of complications | ✅ Present - H/O ESWL x 3 sessions in 2025 for right-sided stone. Stone proved resistant to ESWL (high HU ~1200), necessitating current laser ureteroscopy |
| 10. | Previous Any Surgery under Anaesthesia | Prior surgical and anaesthetic history must be assessed for complications such as adverse reactions to anaesthesia, bleeding disorders, or post-operative complications that may affect current surgical management | ✅ Present - H/O right forearm fracture fixation surgery approximately 20 years ago (~2006). No documented complications from that surgery or anaesthesia |
| 11. | Bleeding Disorders / Anticoagulant Use | Lewis emphasizes assessing for any bleeding tendency or anticoagulant use pre-operatively to reduce risk of intra-operative and post-operative haemorrhage | ❌ Absent - PT/INR = 1.02 (normal). No anticoagulant use documented |

Noo normal way
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY
The patient denies any history of Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Thyroid disease, Tuberculosis, Gout, or Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections.
- H/O Left kidney stone (~2 mm) - treated conservatively with medication (exact drug unknown as per patient). Resolved.
- Allergy: Allergic to Brinjal (Eggplant). No known drug allergy.
PAST SURGICAL HISTORY
| Sr. No. | Procedure | Date / Year |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Right Forearm Fracture Fixation Surgery | ~20 years ago (approx. 2006) |
| 2. | ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) - 3 sessions | 2025 |
- Patient tolerated both procedures well with no documented complications.
- ESWL was performed for the current right-sided stone but was unsuccessful in achieving complete stone clearance, leading to the present admission for laser ureteroscopy.
Send the next section!I can see the format asks for Elimination Pattern with:
- Urine: At day time / At night time
- Bowel
Before I fill this, I need to ask - did you collect this information from the patient? Because the BHT doesn't mention specific urinary frequency details.
Let me give you both options:
ELIMINATION PATTERN
Urine:
| Pre-admission (Normal) | Present (Post-op, 20/07/26) | |
|---|---|---|
| At Day Time | 4-5 times/day (to be filled as per patient's response) | Foley catheter in situ - urine draining continuously into urobag |
| At Night Time | 0-1 times/night (nocturia absent) | Foley catheter in situ |
| Colour | Yellow, clear | Yellow, clear - no hematuria documented |
| Any complaints | No dysuria, no hematuria, no frequency documented in BHT | DJ stent in situ - mild ureteric discomfort possible |
Bowel:
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Frequency | Once daily (regular - as documented in BHT: bowel habits normal) |
| Consistency | Normal formed stool |
| Any complaints | No complaints. Syrup Lactulose 10 mL OD HS prescribed post-op to prevent constipation (common after GA and opioid use) |
| Pre-op bowel prep | Tab. Dulcolax x 2 at 10 PM + P-Enema at 10 PM and 6 AM done before surgery on 17/07/26 |
Note: If you have collected the exact urinary frequency from the patient during history, replace the values in "At Day Time" and "At Night Time" accordingly.

I think you want it simpler - just filling the format as it is. Here:
ELIMINATION PATTERN
Urine:
- At day time: 4-5 times/day, yellow coloured, clear, no burning, no blood
- At night time: 0-1 times (no nocturia)
(Post-op: Foley catheter in situ, urine draining freely into urobag, yellow coloured)
Bowel:
- Once daily, regular, normal consistency, no complaints
- Pre-op bowel preparation done with Tab. Dulcolax and P-Enema on 16-17/07/26
- Post-op: Syrup Lactulose prescribed to prevent constipation
If you have asked the patient and got different numbers for day/night frequency, just replace those values. These are standard expected values for a healthy adult male with no urinary complaints (no dysuria, no hematuria documented in his BHT).
Send the next section!# DIETARY HABIT
-
No. of meals / day: 3 meals per day (breakfast, lunch, dinner) - regular diet as documented in treatment sheet
-
Food preference: Mixed diet (Non-vegetarian) - Muslim patient, likely consumes chicken, mutton, fish, rice, bread (to be confirmed with patient)
-
Any special diet recommended: Yes
- Allergy: Avoid Brinjal (Eggplant) - documented food allergy
- Post-op: Regular diet advised by surgeon (as written in treatment sheet 18/07/26)
- For stone prevention (Lewis's recommendation): Low oxalate diet, low sodium, low animal protein, avoid spinach/nuts/tea in excess. High fluid intake strongly recommended - minimum 2.5-3 litres/day to maintain urine output >2 L/day and prevent stone recurrence
-
Fluid:
- Pre-admission: Not documented - likely inadequate given occupation as outdoor electrician in West Bengal heat
- Current: IV fluids administered post-operatively (NS + RL + 5%D as per OT orders). Oral fluids encouraged once tolerating diet
- Target: >2.5 L/day oral fluid intake recommended for stone prevention (Lewis's Medical-Surgical Nursing)

DISEASE CONDITION
Introduction
Urinary tract calculi (urolithiasis) is one of the most common and painful urological disorders encountered in clinical practice. The condition has been known to mankind since ancient times, with evidence of bladder stones found in Egyptian mummies dating back over 7,000 years.
Urinary stones can form anywhere along the urinary tract - in the kidney (nephrolithiasis), ureter (ureterolithiasis), or bladder (cystolithiasis). The majority of stones originate in the kidney and may migrate down the ureter, causing obstruction and severe colicky pain. Stone disease is a recurrent condition - once a person forms a stone, they are at significantly higher risk of forming more in the future.
The increasing global prevalence of urinary calculi is linked to rising rates of obesity, diabetes, dietary changes, sedentary lifestyles, and global warming (hot climates causing dehydration). It represents a significant burden on healthcare systems worldwide.

Incidence
| Parameter | Data |
|---|---|
| Global prevalence | Increasing worldwide - documented rise in the USA, Europe, and Southeast Asia |
| USA prevalence | Rose from 5.2% in 1994 to 8.8% in 2010 |
| Sex difference | More common in males - prevalence 10.6% in men vs 7.1% in women (males 2-3x more affected) |
| Age group | Peak incidence between 20-55 years (3rd to 5th decade) |
| Recurrence | 11% at 2 years, 20% at 5 years, 31% at 10 years, 39% at 15 years for first-time stone formers |
| India / Southeast Asia | Increasing incidence - hot climate, inadequate fluid intake, dietary habits are major contributors. India's "stone belt" includes Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and parts of West Bengal |
| Stone type | Calcium oxalate / phosphate - 70-80%, Struvite - 10%, Uric acid - 10%, Cystine - 1% |

Definition
According to Lewis's Medical-Surgical Nursing:
Urinary tract calculi (Urolithiasis) are stones (calculi) that form within the urinary tract - including the kidney, ureter, or bladder - as a result of supersaturation of urine with stone-forming salts such as calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, uric acid, struvite, or cystine, when the concentration of these solutes exceeds the solubility limits of urine.
- Nephrolithiasis - stone in the kidney
- Ureterolithiasis - stone in the ureter (present in this patient - right upper ureter)
- Cystolithiasis - stone in the bladder
Stone formation occurs when:
- Urine becomes supersaturated with crystal-forming substances (calcium, oxalate, uric acid)
- Natural inhibitors of crystallization (citrate, magnesium) are reduced or absent
- Urine volume is low (concentrated urine)
This leads to crystal nucleation → crystal aggregation → stone growth.
In this patient: Right upper ureteric calculus, 8.2 mm, HU ~1200 (calcium oxalate monohydrate - hardest type), located 5-8 cm distal to the PUJ at L3 vertebral level, causing proximal hydroureteronephrosis.

DISEASE CONDITION
Introduction
Urinary tract calculi (urolithiasis) is one of the most common and painful urological disorders. Stones can form in the kidney (nephrolithiasis), ureter (ureterolithiasis), or bladder (cystolithiasis). The condition is recurrent in nature and its prevalence is increasing globally due to rising obesity, dietary changes, and hot climates causing dehydration.
(Lewis's Medical-Surgical Nursing)
Incidence
- More common in males (10.6%) than females (7.1%)
- Peak age: 20-55 years (3rd to 5th decade)
- Recurrence rate: 50% within 5 years of first stone episode
- Prevalence is rising in Southeast Asia including India due to hot climate and inadequate fluid intake
- Most common stone type: Calcium oxalate (70-80%)
(Lewis's Medical-Surgical Nursing; Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine)
Definition
Urinary tract calculi are abnormal concretions (stones) formed within the urinary tract due to supersaturation of urine with crystal-forming substances such as calcium oxalate, uric acid, or struvite, combined with reduced levels of natural inhibitors like citrate, resulting in crystal precipitation and stone formation.

Short easy to remember definition
Definition
Urinary calculi are hard deposits (stones) formed in the urinary tract when urine becomes concentrated with minerals and salts (such as calcium oxalate, uric acid) that crystallize and stick together.

RELATED ANATOMY

Urinary Tract - Relevant Structures
1. Kidneys
- Bean-shaped organs, one on each side of the vertebral column
- Located retroperitoneally at T12-L3 vertebral level
- Right kidney slightly lower than left (due to liver)
- Size: 10-12 cm long, 5-7 cm wide, 3-5 cm thick; weight 125-170 g
- Made up of outer cortex, inner medulla, and internal calyces + renal pelvis
- Each kidney contains approximately 1 million nephrons (functional units)
2. Renal Pelvis
- Funnel-shaped collecting chamber inside the kidney
- Collects urine from major and minor calyces
- Narrows to become the ureter at the pelviureteric junction (PUJ)
3. Ureter (most relevant in this patient)
- Two muscular tubes, 25-30 cm long, 3-4 mm diameter
- Carries urine from renal pelvis to bladder by peristalsis
- Has three natural narrowings where stones commonly get lodged:
- PUJ (pelviureteric junction) - upper ureter
- Pelvic brim (where ureter crosses iliac vessels) - mid ureter
- VUJ (vesicoureteric junction) - where ureter enters bladder
- In this patient: Stone is in the right upper ureter, 5-8 cm below PUJ at L3 vertebral level - a common site for stone impaction
4. Urinary Bladder
- Muscular hollow organ in the pelvis
- Stores urine (capacity ~400-600 mL)
- Receives both ureters and opens into urethra via the vesical neck
5. Urethra
- Male urethra: ~20 cm long (prostatic + membranous + penile)
- Final passage for urine elimination
RELATED PHYSIOLOGY
(Reference: Lewis's Medical-Surgical Nursing)
1. Urine Formation - occurs in the nephron in 3 steps:
- Glomerular filtration - blood filtered under pressure; ~180 L/day of filtrate produced
- Tubular reabsorption - 99% of water, glucose, electrolytes reabsorbed back into blood
- Tubular secretion - waste products (uric acid, creatinine, H⁺ ions) secreted into tubule
2. Normal urine output: 1-2 litres/day (minimum 30 mL/hour)
3. Urine composition: Water, urea, creatinine, uric acid, electrolytes (Na, K, Cl), calcium, oxalate
4. Role of urine concentration in stone formation:
- When fluid intake is low → urine becomes concentrated
- Calcium, oxalate, uric acid levels rise in urine
- When concentration exceeds solubility → supersaturation → crystal formation → stone
- Normal inhibitors (citrate, magnesium) prevent crystallization - when these are low, stones form more easily
5. Renal regulation:
- Kidneys regulate fluid balance, electrolytes, blood pressure (via renin-angiotensin), acid-base balance, and erythropoietin production
- eGFR (glomerular filtration rate) measures kidney function - normal >90 mL/min/1.73m²
- In this patient: eGFR = 117 mL/min - normal, despite right-sided obstruction (left kidney compensating)
6. Ureteric peristalsis:
- Ureter propels urine to bladder by rhythmic peristaltic contractions
- A stone lodged in the ureter obstructs this flow → back pressure → hydronephrosis
- Obstruction also causes ureteric spasm → severe colicky pain (ureteric colic)

Blood supply venous drainage
BLOOD SUPPLY & VENOUS DRAINAGE
(Reference: Lewis's Medical-Surgical Nursing; Smith & Tanagho's General Urology)
Kidney
Arterial Supply:
- Renal artery (branch of abdominal aorta at L1-L2 level) → enters kidney at hilum
- Divides into anterior and posterior divisions → segmental arteries → interlobar arteries → arcuate arteries → interlobular arteries → afferent arterioles → glomerulus
- Right renal artery is longer (crosses behind inferior vena cava)
- Each kidney receives 20-25% of cardiac output (~1200 mL/min)
Venous Drainage:
- Interlobular veins → arcuate veins → interlobar veins → renal vein → inferior vena cava (IVC)
- Left renal vein is longer (crosses in front of aorta)
- Right renal vein drains directly and shortly into IVC
Ureter
Arterial Supply (segmental - clinically important in surgery):
- Upper ureter - branch from renal artery
- Middle ureter - branch from gonadal artery (testicular in males)
- Lower ureter - branches from superior and inferior vesical arteries
In this patient: Stone is in the upper ureter - blood supply from renal artery branch
Venous Drainage:
- Corresponding veins drain into renal vein, gonadal vein, and vesical venous plexus respectively
Bladder
Arterial Supply:
- Superior and inferior vesical arteries (branches of internal iliac artery)
Venous Drainage:
- Vesical venous plexus → internal iliac vein → common iliac vein → IVC
