Background: To determine the relationship between expulsion rate of distal ureteric calculus less than orequal to 10mm in size and C reactive protein (CRP) level, white cell count and neutrophil percentage. Materials and Methods: A total of 186 patients with distal ureteric calculus of ≤10mm were evaluated for stone expulsion rate and its correlation with serum CRP, white cell count and neutrophil percentage. All patients received tablet Tamsulosin 0.4mg for 4 weeks or till the expulsion of stone. Patients were called weekly till 4 weeks, or early if there was history of stone expulsion. Patients were divided in two groups according to normal and elevated CRP levels, white cell count and neutrophil percent age at baseline for statistical analysis. Results: The patients had an average age of 35.6 } 13.9 years. 52.2% were male. Ratio of right to left was1.58:1. Majority of the patients with distal ureteric calculus ≤ 10mm passed their stone (74.7 %) with medical expulsion therapy. Expulsion of stone less than 5mm was statistically significant (p0.017). Patients with normal neutrophil percentage and normal CRP level had higher stone expulsion rate than elevated neutrophil or CRP (85.2% vs. 40.9, 91.8% vs. 30.8% respectively).In patients with normal white cell count, 86.4% passed their stone while in elevated white cellcount group 39.1% passed their stone. Conclusion: This study showed patients with distal ureteric calculus of ≤10mmwith normal CRP level and normal neutrophil count had higher expulsion rate while WBC count showed no statistically significant association.

Background: Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGN) is an uncommon condition characterized by chronic suppurative renal inflammation that leads to progressive parenchymal destruction. Purpose: To review the computed tomography (CT) findings of patients diagnosed with XGN. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of CT findings in patients with histologically proven XGN was carried out. Results: Thirteen CT examinations of 11 patients were analyzed. Renal enlargement was demonstrable on the affected side in all patients. Nine patients (82%) had multiple dilated calyces and abnormal parenchyma. Six patients (55%) had a renal pelvis or upper ureteric calculus causing obstruction. Three patients (27%) had focal fat deposits identifiable within the inflamed renal parenchyma. Two patients had renal abscesses. Ten patients (91%) had extrarenal extension of the inflammatory changes. Three patients (27%) demonstrated extensive retroperitoneal inflammation. Conclusion: Unilateral renal enlargement and inflammation were the most consistent findings of XGN on CT. Perinephric inflammation and collections or abscess should also alert the radiologist to the possibility of this diagnosis.
