The test of choice for the diagnosis of ureteral obstruction secondary to renal lithiasis is
A) Noncontrast helical computed tomography (CT)
B) Ultrasound
C) Intravenous pyelogram
D) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
E) Plain radiographs

Answer and Discussion

The answer is A. Noncontrast helical computed tomography (CT)

The most common cause of the sudden onset of flank pain in adults is acute urolithiasis. Identification of a stone in the ureter with resultant partial or complete ureteral obstruction confirms the suspected diagnosis.
Noncontrast helical CT has the advantages of avoiding contrast exposure, identifying radiolucent calculi, evaluating nearby structures and requires a shorter time for examination. As a result, helical CT is a better test for assessing acute urolithiasis.
Abdominal ultrasound has a high specificity in evaluating stones, but its sensitivity is lower than helical CT.
Plain films are used to follow patients with known radiopaque (i.e., calcium) stones.

  4. I give thanks to Dr Ebhota for helping me get a permanent cure to Uterine fibroid. I have used different western medication without any improvement, And I could not have a child of my own. I had heavy bleeding, frequent urination, a bulky stomach, and cramping. My bleeding is sometimes so heavy that I can’t go out. I go through 9-10 pads in a day. It is so uncomfortable. I have tried everything you can imagine because I’ve had my fibroid for 18 years but none of them have really worked. They just make you feel like you’re doing something but at the end of the day its not really much of a relief. People advertise all sorts of “Fibroid Cures”. I’ve tried all that you can imagine and they worked for a little while, but it’s not working out you have to keep on going. You cant really stop taking them. I got the contact of Doctor Ebhota from the testimony of people on the internet, and I contacted him through the Email and explained every thing to him. then he sent me his product which I used for 2 weeks. Now am completely cured so I really want to tell this to the world that there is a permanent cure to Fibroid. contact him on drebhota123456@gmail.com or whatsapp: +234935324155 he can help on any health issues

  7. An amazing testimony on how i conceive, also cure from fibroid, i wonder why people still don't believe that roots and herbs are very essential and fruitful in different aspect, especially when you can't conceive and bear children. I am a living witness because I tried all I could to be pregnant but all to no avail, on this faithful day, i decided to check the net for updates on healthy living and i came across testimonies of lot of women who Dr Ebhota has helped with his native herbs to conceive. i decided to put a try because this has been my greatest problem in life so I emailed Dr Ebhota, and he told me what to do which i did, after which he sent me some roots and herbs syrup and gave me step by step guild lines on how and when to have sex with my man. I missed my menstrual flow within a short period of taking it, and the doctor confirmed that I am pregnant. I am very glad to tell the world that I just put to bed a bouncing baby boy last week. Contact Dr Ebhota for your own testimony on: (drebhota123456@gmail.com).Or Whatsapp Him +2349035324155

  9. As a sign of gratitude for how my wife was saved from fibroid, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
    My wife suffered from fibroid for more than 20 year of marriage after our first son and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because she was my all and the symptoms were terrible, she had irregular and painful menstrual flow and the size of it was 5cm, and she always complain of stomach pain. we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure her. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and she left the contact of the doctor who had the natural cure to fibroid. I never imagined fibroid has a natural cure if not surgery not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my wife used it as instructed by Dr Godstime, and in one months time we went to the hospital for scan and the doctor confirmed that there is no trace of fibroid and now she is fully okay, even up till this moment she is so full of life. fibroid has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on: Drgodstimehealinghome@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2349063469910 on how to get his medication.
