Non-contrast CT attenuation value of renal papilla is a novel predictor of recurrence in kidney stone disease

Non-contrast CT attenuation value of renal papilla is a novel predictor of recurrence in kidney stone disease

Abstract In calcium stone formers, most stones grow attached to Randall’s plaque, which can be identified by measuring the computed tomography (CT) attenuation value of renal papilla. We hypothesized that the CT attenuation value of renal papilla can predict the severity (recurrent or multiple stone...
