Bilateral nephrolithiasis refers to the presence of kidney stones in both kidneys simultaneously. "Nephrolithiasis" specifically denotes the formation of stones (calculi) within the renal system, while "bilateral" indicates that this condition affects both sides. The condition can lead to various symptoms, including pain, hematuria, and potential complications such as obstruction or infection. Treatment often involves pain management, increased fluid intake, and in some cases, medical or surgical intervention to remove the stones.
This means kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) in BOTH kidneys/ureters (bilateral). Most common presentations for stones are unilateral but bilateral can occur in patients with a predisposition either anatomically (in pregnant women) or from elevated uric acid (as seen in gout) or calcium (multiple disease processes)
