What does this diagnosis mean? hydronephrosis secondary to staghorn calculi?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stones : Staghorn calculi refers to large kidney stones filling up a significant portion of the renal collecting system. Hydronephrosis refers to a dilation of the collecting system likely as a result of the stones. You should most definitely seek care by a urologist.
