Urinary Disorders

A 45-year-old grocery sales clerk has been suffering from bouts of severe pain in his left flank region. He blamed it on prolonged standing for 8 hours straight while working. He was taking over-the-counter pain medications for his pain. One day, he found fresh blood in his urine. He went to a doctor who performed urine tests, CT scans, and x-rays. He was diagnosed with urinary calculi.

·         Discuss possible factors that may have been responsible for the development of the stone and use this case to show how the patient's diet and water intake can help analyze the composition of the calculi.

·         What would be the test results of his white blood cells, blood calcium levels, CT scan, and x-ray?

·         Suggest the best treatment for the patient and a plan to prevent recurrence post-treatment.

By the due date assigned, submit your initial response(s) to the above questions to the Discussion Area. Your responses should clarify your understanding of the topic. They should be your own, original and free from plagiarism. Use correct medical terminology, spelling, and grammar.

By the end of the week, comment on at least two different responses posted by your peers. Playing the role of an instructor, analyze each response for its completeness and accuracy. Examine the evaluation of the patient, analysis of the case, and the suggested treatment. Using your textbook as a guide, suggest any specific additions or clarifications that would improve a discussion question
