Is it possible to predict the spontaneous passage of a ureteral stone? An up-to-date comment on the current problem with new concepts concerning the patient and the stone

According to the European Association of Urology (EAU), MET may be preferred for stones larger than 5 mm in the distal ureter. Since there is no standard term in this regard, we used the expression of kidney parenchyma density. The principal component of MET, which is the primary treatment method fo...

Summary:According to the European Association of Urology (EAU), MET may be preferred for stones larger than 5 mm in the distal ureter. Since there is no standard term in this regard, we used the expression of kidney parenchyma density. The principal component of MET, which is the primary treatment method for spontaneous stone passage, is alpha-blockers; also, calcium channel blockers, phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors, and spasmolytics may be clinically effective [12]. [...]MET can be applied to increase the success of SWL and help symptoms caused by ureteral stents [13, 14]. Since we aimed to find a different variable for spontaneous passage in our study, we
