the size of the formation it can pass freely or get stuck and obstruct the path of urine. An
obstruction of the ureter can cause swelling of the kidney and lead to acute renal injury.
Medical History
The patient has a past medical history of previous urolithiasis related to poor diet
and chronic dehydration. Poor diet and dehydration increase the formation of calculi.
Dehydration causes urine to concentrate increasing the production of uric calculi, while
high-purine foods such as red meat, organ meats, beer/alcoholic beverages, meat-based
gravies, sardines, anchovies and shellfish increase urine acidity increasing the formation
of calculi as well.
