Ureters are tubes that help transport urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. Both kidneys have one ureter each. Ureteric stones form when kidney stones travel to the ureter. Right proximal ureteric calculus refers to stones in the upper part of the right ureter. Depending on size, number, and location, these stones can cause mild to severe symptoms. In complex cases, they can even lead to serious complications that may be difficult to manage, such as renal failure, chronic kidney disease, obstruction, stone infections, and so on.
Timely treatment for right proximal ureteric stones is necessary to avert potential complications. Treatment includes medication or surgery, or a combination of both.

Before preparing a treatment plan for the patient, the doctors perform a thorough diagnosis of the patient’s condition. The assessment is done to check the extent of the disease, and rule out potential complications.
Evaluation of Medical History and Symptoms: During your initial consultation, the doctor will inquire about your symptoms, medical history, and other relevant information to gain a better understanding of your condition. They may ask about your urinary symptoms, pain severity, and more to assess your situation effectively.
Physical Examination: The doctor will conduct a physical examination to check for pain or inflammation in the abdomen, lower back, and flank areas. This examination helps in diagnosing the condition accurately. They may also perform additional assessments as needed.
Urine Test: A urine analysis detects signs of infection or other abnormalities in the urine. It helps rule out stone-related infections and identify any underlying issues that may impact treatment effectiveness.
Imaging Tests: Imaging tests are recommended to visualize the urinary tract, locate the stone, and determine its size. Common imaging tests for diagnosing right proximal ureteric calculus include:

But, in complex or more severe cases, surgery may be required. We’ll further discuss these methods in detail:
