It is a kidney stone that is present in one of the calyxes of a kidney. The kidney has several calyxes which are just branches from the functional units of the kidney to the ureter. Calyceal stones are usually extracted using nitinol baskets inside flexible ureteroscopes which can bend to get to the location of the stone.
Calyceal lithiasis refers to the presence of kidney stones within the calyces, which are small cup-like structures in the kidney where urine collects before passing into the ureter. These stones can cause pain, blockages, and sometimes lead to renal damage if left untreated. Treatment may involve medications to help pass the stone, procedures to break up the stone, or surgery to remove the stone.
Prominence of pelvic calyceal in the right kidney usually refers to the dilation or enlargement of the renal pelvis and calyces. This can be due to various reasons such as obstruction, infection, or kidney stones. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
