Nursing Assessment for Nephrolithiasis

Nephrolithiasis is a common disease that is estimated to produce medical costs of $2.1 billion per year in the United States. Nephrolithiasis specifically refers to calculi in the kidneys, but this article discusses both renal calculi (see the first image below) and ureteral calculi (ureterolithiasis; see the second image below). Ureteral calculi almost always originate in the kidneys, although they may continue to grow once they lodge in the ureter.
