AB A  47-year-old  woman  presents  to  the  office  with  severe  right  flank  pain  that  does  not  radiate.  Dipstick  urinalysis  shows  hematuria,  and  microscopic  examination  confirms  the  presence  of  many  red  blood  cells  per  high-power  field  (Figure  69-1).  There  is  no  pyuria  or  bacteriuria.  The  physician  gives  her  some  pain  medication  and  sends  her  to  get  a  non-contrast  helical  computed  tomography  (CT).  The  CT  scan  shows  a  stone  in  the  right  ureter  and  some  mild  hydronephrosis.  Fortunately  for  the  patient,  she  passes  the  stone  when  urinating  after  the  imaging  study  is  complete.
