What department should kidney stone see

First: laboratory examination: urine routine examination can see red blood cells, white blood cells or crystal urine pH. In patients with oxalate and urate stones, it is often acidic; phosphate stones are often alkaline; when combined with infection, there are more purulent cells in the urine; when the infection is severe, the total number of white blood cells and neutrophils can be seen by blood routine examination.

Second: X-ray examination: X-ray examination is an important method for the diagnosis of kidney and ureteral calculi. The location and degree of obstruction of the stone can be determined. About 95% of urinary calculi can be developed on X-ray plain film. In addition, retrograde Pyeloureterography was used to exclude other upper urinary tract lesions and determine the treatment plan. And the comparison of the size and number of stones after treatment is of great value.

Third: other examinations: B-ultrasound can detect dense light spots or light masses at the location of stones. When combined with hydronephrosis, liquid level isotope can be detected. Nephrogram examination shows that the affected side of urinary tract is obstructive. CT scan is not as intuitive as X-ray and urography, and it is expensive, so routine examination is generally not performed.
