Ureteral Jet Flow Dynamics Can Provide Information About the Mechanism of Stone Formation

Ureteral jet dynamics, which have been shown in recent studies to indicate stone formation mechanism in adults and children, provide information about ureteral peristaltism. The dynamics were measured with Doppler ultrasonography and included ureteral jet flows and ureteral jet patterns. In this paper, we present radiographic images of a non-obstructive lower pole stone in the right kidney and a non-obstructive upper pole stone in the left kidney measuring <1 cm and ureteral jet dynamics in a 26-year-old male patient. Our opinion is that the dynamics can provide information about stone formation mechanism
