, Objective
VS T- 98.9, BP 160/96, P 100, R 22, oxygen saturation: 98%. 5 feet 9 inches weight: 195 pounds BMI 28.8
Urinalysis: Positive WBCs, Small blood. Trace protein, pH 7.0 specific gravity 1.030, negative nitrites,
negative ketones, negative glucose
CBC: WBC 6000 mm3 RBC 5 million Hbg 15g Hct 46% MCV 90 fL MCHC 35 g/dL
Ultrasound report: 5mm smooth round calculus is noted at the junction of the ureter and the bladder
Alert, oriented and cooperative. HEENT: head normocephalic. Hair thick and distribution throughout scalp.
Sclera clear, conjunctiva white. Tympanic membranes gray and intact with light reflex noted. Pinna and tragus
nontender. Nares patent without exudate. Oropharynx moist, no lesions or exudate. Tonsils ¼ bilaterally.
Teeth in good repair, no cavities noted. Neck supple.
No lymphadenopathy. Thyroid midline, small and firm without palpable masses. Cardiopulmonary: Heart S1
and S2 noted, no murmurs, noted. Lungs clear to auscultation bilaterally. Respirations unlabored. Abdomen
appears slightly distended, symmetric with no visible masses. RLQ scar noted. Decreased bowel sounds
noted. No vascular sounds. Tympany noted in all four quadrants on percussion. Abdomen is soft, no
organomegaly, no masses or tenderness. Positive CVAT on right side.
Assessment:
Urolithiasis (ICD 10: N21.9)- Frassetto and Kohlstadt (2011) report that plaques are composed of calcium
phosphate/apatite deposits, localized to the basement membrane of the thin loop of Henle and extending
into the papillary interstitium. When these plaques form, they erode through the urothelium and constitute a
stable, anchored surface on which calcium oxalate crystals can nucleate and grow as attached stones (Frassetto
& Kohlstadt, 2011). This patient is believed to have nephrolithiasis as he complains of acute severe flank pain,
nausea, urinary frequency, groin pain, and costovertebral angle tenderness. In addition, the ultrasonographer
has stated the patient has a 5mm stone which is present at the junction of the ureter and the bladder. The
location of the stone is known as ureterovesical junction. Lastly, the urinalysis identified hematuria to further
support the diagnosis.
