Kidney stone disease, also known as urolithiasis, is when a calculus (kidney stone) occurs in the urinary tract.[1]
Contents
Acute disease - planning
Need for imaging
Imaging is indicated in cases of flank pain and hematuria.[2]
Choice of modality
Algorithm for kidney stone disease, developed in the US.[3]
- Ultrasonography of kidney stone disease is the first-line imaging modality for patients <14 years of age and those who are pregnant. It is also the first-line investigation for thin (BMI <30) patients and there is a strong suspicion of kidney stone disease.[2] In the algorithm at right, hydronephrosis may count as a diagnostic finding of urolithiasis.
- CT of kidney stone disease is recommended for older patients, as well as those who have higher BMI and/or less specific findings.[2]
Recurrent
See CT in recurrent kidney stone disease.
