A distal uretal calculus is a kidney stone that has either moved to or developed just above the bladder in one of the tubes that brings urine down from the kidneys. This is a dangerous situation because the stone is hard a jagged and if it cuts through the tube, called the ureter, it can be potentially fatal.

What is distal UVJ calculus on the kidney?

Distal UVJ (ureterovesical junction) calculus refers to a stone located at the junction where the ureter meets the bladder. It can obstruct the urinary flow, leading to symptoms such as flank pain, hematuria, and urinary urgency or frequency. The presence of such a stone can cause complications like hydronephrosis if not treated. Treatment options typically include pain management, hydration, and possibly procedures like ureteroscopy or lithotripsy to remove the stone.
