Study aim
-
Evaluation of the Effect of Visipaque Contrast Material on the Expulsion or Displacement of Ureteral Stone
-
Design
-
Clinical trial with intervention and control groups, with parallel groups, without blinding, randomized using a random number table, on 92 patients
-
Settings and conduct
-
This clinical trial will be performed on 92 patients with ureteral stones in Shahid Beheshti Hospital of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. Patients are divided into two groups of case and controls. In the case group, after performing the primary KUB and ultra-sonography, Intravenous urography (IVU) will be conducted with the help of Visipaque contrast material. After seeing IVU and confirming the diagnosis, 48 Hours later, secondary KUB will be taken and the stone expulsion and displacement will be compared between primary and secondary KUB. In the control group, 48 hours after confirmation of the stone in the primary ultra-sonography and KUB, the secondary KUB will be taken and the stone expulsion and displacement will be compared.

-
Intervention groups
-
