“…US was reported to be 95% successful with renal lithasis but only 35% accurate in case of ureteral lithiasis. Secondary complexities due to urinary obstruction such as hydronephrosis, ureteral dilation or bladder stasis are very well diagnosed using US with 100% sensitivity [ 310 ]. Though a skilled nephrologist can diagnose up to 70% of the CKD patients, at advance stages of renal damage with reduced kidney size and unstructured morphology, US based detection and accurate diagnosis with staging, of a particular condition is very difficult [ 311 ].…”

“…[ 24 ] Low-dose NCCT has been found to have a high sensitivity for the detection of ureteric stones in persons with BMI <30 kg/m 2 . [ 25 ] It is particularly useful in selected pregnant women and pediatric cases. However, it is limited by its capacity to detect small stones and its utility in obese patients.…”

Aims: The Saudi Urolithiasis Guidelines are a set of recommendations for diagnosing, evaluating, and treating urolithiasis in the Saudi population. These guidelines are based on the latest evidence and expert consensus to improve patient outcomes and optimize care delivery. They cover the various aspects of urolithiasis, including risk factors, diagnosis, medical and surgical treatments, and prevention strategies. By following these guidelines, health-care professionals can improve care quality for individuals with urolithiasis in Saudi Arabia. Panel: The Saudi Urolithiasis Guidelines Panel consists of urologists specialized in endourology with expertise in urolithiasis and consultation with a guideline methodologist. All panelists involved in this document have submitted statements disclosing any potential conflicts of interest. Methods: The Saudi Guidelines on Urolithiasis were developed by relying primarily on established international guidelines to adopt or adapt the most appropriate guidance for the Saudi context. When necessary, the panel modified the phrasing of recommendations from different sources to ensure consistency within the document. To address areas less well covered in existing guidelines, the panel conducted a directed literature search for high quality evidence published in English, including meta analyses, randomized controlled trials, and prospective nonrandomized comparative studies. The panel also searched for locally relevant studies containing information unique to the Saudi Arabian population. The recommendations are formulated with a direction and strength of recommendation based on GRADE terminology and interpretation while relying on existing summaries of evidence from the existing guidelines.

The kidneys and ureters are the most prevalent sites for stones. The swelling of the kidneys due to renal stones, most often ureteric stones, is known as hydronephrosis. For detecting the position of stones, CT-KUB has a high sensitivity. Objective: To determine the frequency of obstructive and non-obstructive hydronephrosis due to calculi in CT-KUB. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January, 2022 to May, 2022 at Tertiary Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. A sample size of 166 patients was obtained using a non-probability convenient sampling technique based on the previously published articles. All patients with renal calculi were included. 64 Slices Aquilian CT Machine was used. SPSS ver. 22 was used for data entry and analysis. Results: 166 Patients were in the age ranges of (15-25), (26-35), (36-45), (46-55), (56-65), and (66-75) were 27(16.3%), 39(16.3%), 32(19.3%), 37(22.3%), 22(13.3%), 9(5.4%) respectively. There were 126(75.9%) males and 40 (24.1%) females. Flank pain was present in 154(94%) and hematuria in 68(41%) patients. Stones were noted in kidneys 102(46.6%), proximal ureter 35(16%), mid ureter 21(9.6%), distal ureter 51(23.3%), urinary bladder 10(4.6%). 96 patients were diagnosed with obstructing hydronephrosis (57.8%). Conclusion: Urinary tract stones are most commonly seen in the kidneys and ureters. Obstructive and non-obstructive hydronephrosis is mostly caused by kidney stones. Obstructive hydronephrosis accounted for 57.8% of the total, whereas non-obstructive hydronephrosis accounted for 42.2%. CT-KUB plays a vital role in the diagnosis of hydronephrosis.
