What is pyelocalculus?

Answer 1

Pyelocalculus refers to the presence of calculi, or stones, in the renal pelvis of the kidney. These stones can form from mineral deposits and may cause symptoms such as pain, hematuria (blood in urine), and urinary obstruction. The condition is often associated with renal colic and can lead to complications if not treated. Management may involve pain relief, increased fluid intake, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the stones.
