In this video I'm gonna do a much-needed revamp of the kidney stone (aka ureterolithiasis) 5 Minute Sono video that I first published back in 2015! In this video I give you some updated information and some higher quality clips.

The way we typically identify the presence of kidney stones using ultrasound is to have a pretest suspicion of kidney stones and then identifying the presence or absence of hydronephrosis. We are typically much more accurate at identifying the secondary findings of an obstructive kidney stone (i.e., hydronephrosis) then we are of identifying the kidney stone itself (but definitely is still possible)!
