Uric Acid Kidney Stones On Ct. Noninvasive differentiation of uric acid versus non uric acid kidney stones using dual energy ct. Ct attenuation can also be used.
The stone fragments can then be removed with a tiny basket. Non contrast within the right renal pelvis a hyperdense focus is present with an oblong form on axial and a more rectangular form on coronal imaged. This means that simple alkali treatment should and will prevent such crystals in stones.
Larger stones in the kidney can be removed through percutaneous nephrolithotomy pcnl which involves making a 1cm incision in the back and removing stones through a hollow direct tract into the kidney.
Non contrast within the right renal pelvis a hyperdense focus is present with an oblong form on axial and a more rectangular form on coronal imaged. This means that simple alkali treatment should and will prevent such crystals in stones. There is no hydronephrosis or hydroureter although the proximal right ureter is swollen with some surrounding stranding. Uric acid stones usually are the result of low urinary ph and hydration and elevation of urinary ph to approximately 6 are usually sufficient note rendering the urine too alkali e g.
