Münchhausen's syndrome. [ 11 ] Investigations Basic analysis should include: Stick testing of urine for red cells (suggestive of urolithiasis), white cells and nitrites (both suggestive of infection) and pH (pH above 7 suggests urea-splitting organisms [patient.info]
USG was suggestive of heterogeneous mass in the trigonal area of bladder while cystogram of IVU series suggested filling defect in bladder ( Figure 4 ). [omicsonline.org]
Decreased urine output, absent or defective urine excretion, an excess of urine, elevated blood urea nitrogen, the presence of blood in the urine, bruising and abdominal swelling suggest a bladder injury has been missed. [urology.wustl.edu]

However, several years later the patient presented with flank pain and was diagnosed with an intra-renal embolisation coil and associated stone formation. [ispub.com]
Fifth case was a 36 year old woman who was referred for intermittent left flank pain and her USG was suggestive of Left hydronephrosis and hydroureter up to distal ureter along with an IUCD in bladder which was fixed at vesicouterine junction (VUJ). [omicsonline.org]
Workup
Eighth case had encrusted prolene sutures wandering in the bladder lumen which were found during cystoscopy in diagnostic workup for LUTS in a 62 year old male who had right side herniorrahphy 5 years back. [omicsonline.org]
Typically, they are discovered on routine follow-up cystoscopy for papillary urothelial neoplasms and very frequently in the workup for microhematuria or urinary obstructive symptoms. [basicmedicalkey.com]
Treatment
The initial treatment will usually consist of placing a bladder catheter for drainage, and treatment of the obstructing disease after the situation has stabilized. [uihc.org]
Treatment helps to prevent complications of ureteral injuries. If complications occur despite efforts to prevent them, they must be treated. NOTE: This is the Consumer Version. [msdmanuals.com]

To prevent encrustation, dilution of the urine with high fluid intake and aggressive treatment of any urinary tract infection should be undertaken. [bsir.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis [ 2 ] Most symptomatic renal stones are small (less than 5 mm in diameter) and pass spontaneously. Stones less than 5 mm in diameter pass spontaneously in up to 80% of people. [patient.info]
Studies are needed to determine how prevalent a minor component must be in order to have an impact on prognosis. [basicmedicalkey.com]
