Hi, nice video. You said in mild and moderate hydronephrosis you send patients home. What do you do with the stones that caused them?

If the patient's pain is controlled and their kidney function is unchanged then they can be discharged from the emergency department or clinic and can follow up with urology in the near future. Many of these stones will pass spontaneously and not need intervention. If the stone does not pass then the urologist can take care of this in follow up. They should, however, receive instructions of symptoms the indicate worsening/complications such as - continuous vomiting, fevers, dysuria, intolerable pain, etc. If any of these develop the patient should return for more immediate care.
