Presence of stones in the urinary system
Formation of urinary stones; urinary calculi formed in the ureters.
If the obstruction is not removed, urinary stasis results in infection, impairment of renal function on the side of the blockage and irreversible kidney damage.

1. KUB radiograph reveals visible calculi.
2. IVP (Intravenous Pyelogram) determines size and location of calculi.
3. Renal Ultrasonography reveals obstructive
changes.

Surgical therapy: 1.Nephrolithomy- incision into the kidney to
remove the stone.
2.Pyelolithotomy- incision into the renal pelvis to remove the stone.
3.Ureterolithotomy-removal of stone in the ureter.
4.Cystotomy- indicated for bladder calculi.

Lithotripsy (ESWL)
- procedure used to eliminate calculi in the kidney. Hematuria is common after the procedure. A stent is often placed after the procedure to promote passage and to prevent obstruction, then removed 1 to 2 weeks after lithotripsy.

Force fluids up to 3000 mL/day, unless contraindicated-to facilitate the passage of the stone & prevent infection.
Strain all urine for the presence of stones.
Turn and reposition immobilized clients.
