How is diagnosis hydronephrosis secondary to staghorn calculi diagnosed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CT scan is best: Kidney ultrasound is not the best modality for diagnosis of staghorn calculus. It is very good in diagnosing hydronephrosis. Most cost effective way, which will give an accurate diagnosis is a plain abdominal X-ray plus kidney ultrasound.
