To test the renal colic due to ureteric stone by 2D-ultrasound

ABSTRACT

96 patients with 65 males and 24 femals aged from 19-65 years old with colic symptoms at lumbar- abdomen area. Among them 86 cases were urine calculus, 7 cases other conditions diagnosed by bidimension ultrasound a simple technique for diagnosis of most of simple kidney colics. Ultrasound should be used in acute lumbar- abdomen colic, with low sensitivity, this technique showed be associated with X Ray. Measuring the anterior and posterior pyelic diameters in comparing with the healthy kidney for detecting their contraction and dilatation. In case of proof lacking the combination with X Ray will be necessary to determine the function and morphology of ureteral system.
