  The symptoms most associated with bladder stones are urinary frequency, haematuria (which is typically terminal) and dysuria or suprapubic pain, which are worst towards the end of micturition. Sudden movement and exercise may exacerbate these symptoms. Detrusor over-activity is found in over two-thirds of adult male patients with vesical calculi and is significantly more common in patients with larger stones (4 cm). However, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) may be the only symptom. […] Plain X-ray of KUB has a reported sensitivity of 21%-78% for cystoscopically detected bladder stones in adults. Larger (2.0 cm) stones are more likely to be radiopaque. However, plain X-ray provides information on radio-opacity which may guide treatment and follow-up. Ultrasound has a reported sensitivity and specificity of 20-83% and 98-100%, respectively for the detection of bladder stones in adults. Computed tomography and cystoscopy have a higher sensitivity for detecting bladder stones than US or X-ray in adults.

  Bladder stones are hard masses of mineral that form in the bladder when it does not empty entirely. […] Diagnosis of bladder stones involves an initial consultation to discuss medical history and a physical examination. This is often followed by diagnostic imaging techniques, such as a spiral computed tomography (CT) scan, X-ray, or ultrasound to confirm the presence of bladder stones. […] The diagnosis of bladder stones usually begins with a comprehensive medical history, including past procedures in the pelvic region. […] A urine culture is often collected for urinalysis to identify whether blood, bacteria and/or crystallized minerals are present within the urine. […] In some cases, cystoscopy may also be indicated to further investigate the cause of the symptoms and make an accurate diagnosis.

  Bladder stones can develop when your bladder doesn’t empty completely. This causes urine to become concentrated urine. Concentrated urine can crystallize and form stones. […] Diagnosing bladder stones may involve: […] A physical exam. Your doctor will likely feel your lower abdomen to see if your bladder is enlarged (distended) or may perform a rectal exam to determine whether your prostate is enlarged. You’ll also discuss any urinary signs or symptoms that you’re having. […] A urine test. A sample of your urine may be collected and examined for microscopic amounts of blood, bacteria and crystallized minerals. A urine test also looks for a urinary tract infection, which can cause or be the result of bladder stones. […] CT scan.

  The cause of the bladder stone should be considered prior to bladder stone treatment as eliminating the underlying cause will reduce recurrence rates. The following should be performed where possible prior to (or at the time of) bladder stone treatment: physical examination of external genitalia, and peripheral nervous system (including digital rectal examination, peri-anal tone, and sensation in men); uroflowmetry and post-void residual urine assessment; urine dipstick to include pH culture; metabolic assessment including: serum (creatinine, (ionised) calcium, uric acid, sodium, potassium, blood cell count); urine pH; stone analysis: in first-time formers using a valid procedure (X-ray diffraction or infrared spectroscopy). […] Bladder stones in men aged over 40 years may be caused by BPO, the management of which should also be considered. Bladder stones were traditionally an indication for a surgical intervention for BPO: a doctrine that has been questioned by studies. One prospective study reports urodynamics (cystometrogram) findings in 46 men aged 60 years before and after bladder stone treatment. Only 51% of men had BOO while 10% had detrusor under-activity. Eighteen percent of men had a completely normal urodynamic study and 68% had detrusor over-activity. There was no significant difference between pre- and post-bladder stone removal urodynamic findings.

  https://uroweb.org/guidelines/urolithiasis/chapter/bladder-stones

  Bladder stones constitute only approximately 5% of all urinary tract stones yet are responsible for 8% of urolithiasis-related mortalities in developed nations. The incidence is higher in developing countries. The prevalence of bladder stones is higher in males, with a reported male-to-female ratio between 10:1 and 4:1. The age distribution is bimodal: incidence peaks at three years in children in developing countries, and 60 years in adulthood. […] The aetiology of bladder stones is typically multi-factorial. Bladder stones can be classified as primary, secondary, or migratory. Primary or endemic bladder stones occur in the absence of other urinary tract pathology, typically seen in children in areas with poor hydration, recurrent diarrhoea, and a diet deficient in animal protein. Secondary bladder stones occur in the presence of other urinary tract abnormalities, which include bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), neurogenic bladder dysfunction, chronic bacteriuria, foreign bodies (including catheters), bladder diverticula, and bladder augmentation or urinary diversion. In adults, BOO is the most common predisposing factor for bladder stone formation and accounts for 45-79% of vesical calculi.

• #1 EAU Guidelines on Urolithiasis – Uroweb

  https://uroweb.org/guidelines/urolithiasis/chapter/bladder-stones

  Migratory bladder stones are those that have passed from the upper urinary tract where they formed and may then serve as a nidus for bladder stone growth. Patients with bladder calculi are more likely to have a history of upper tract stones and risk factors for their formation. A wide range of metabolic urinary abnormalities can pre-dispose to calculi anywhere in the urinary tract, which is covered in more detail in Section 4. Metabolic Evaluation and Recurrence Prevention. There is a paucity of studies on the specific metabolic abnormalities that predispose to bladder stones. […] Bladder stones will form in 3-4.7% of men undergoing surgery for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO), 19-39% and 36-67% of motor-incomplete and motor-complete spinal cord injury patients, respectively, and 2.2% of patients with long-term catheters. Two research groups have identified that a larger intravesical protrusion of the prostrate is an independent risk factor for bladder stone formation in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).

  If the clinical suspicion remains high and the initial KUB reveals no stones, the next step is bladder ultrasonography, which may be able to differentiate a calculus from tumor or clot. […] With the increasingly widespread availability of ultrasonography, it is reasonable to use this relatively inexpensive and rapid modality more extensively in the diagnosis of bladder calculi. […] CT scanning is usually performed for other reasons (eg, abdominal pain, pelvic mass, or suspected abscess) but may demonstrate bladder calculi when performed without intravenous (IV) contrast material. […] Cystoscopy remains the most commonly used test for confirming the presence of bladder stones and planning treatment.

  The incidence of bladder stone formation in spinal cord injury patients is 19-67% over time. The absolute annual risk of stone formation in spinal cord injury patients is significantly higher with an indwelling catheter compared to those voiding with CISC or spontaneously. The incidence of bladder stone formation after bladder augmentation or vesico-entero-cystostomy is between 2-53% in adults and children. The risk of bladder stone formation in spinal cord injury, bladder augmentation or continent urinary diversion patients is reduced by performing regular bladder irrigation. […] There are no studies examining the merits of differing follow-up modalities or frequencies following conservative, medical, or operative treatment of bladder stones in adults or children. Identification and prevention of the cause of bladder stone formation will be crucial to prevent recurrence. In adults, there is a paucity of evidence on dietary modification or medical treatment for the prevention of bladder stone recurrence.

[…] Tell your doctor about unusual urinary symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment of an enlarged prostate or another urologic condition may reduce your risk of developing bladder stones. […] Bladder stones that don’t pass even those that don’t cause symptoms can lead to complications, such as chronic bladder problems. Untreated bladder stones can cause long-term urinary difficulties, such as pain or frequent urination. Bladder stones can also lodge in the opening where urine exits the bladder into the urethra and block the flow of urine. […] Conditions that can raise the risk of bladder stones include an obstruction.

  The cause of the bladder stone should be considered prior to bladder stone treatment as eliminating the underlying cause will reduce recurrence rates. The following should be performed where possible prior to (or at the time of) bladder stone treatment: physical examination of external genitalia, and peripheral nervous system (including digital rectal examination, peri-anal tone, and sensation in men); uroflowmetry and post-void residual urine assessment; urine dipstick to include pH culture; metabolic assessment including: serum (creatinine, (ionised) calcium, uric acid, sodium, potassium, blood cell count); urine pH; stone analysis: in first-time formers using a valid procedure (X-ray diffraction or infrared spectroscopy). […] Bladder stones in men aged over 40 years may be caused by BPO, the management of which should also be considered. Bladder stones were traditionally an indication for a surgical intervention for BPO: a doctrine that has been questioned by studies. One prospective study reports urodynamics (cystometrogram) findings in 46 men aged 60 years before and after bladder stone treatment. Only 51% of men had BOO while 10% had detrusor under-activity. Eighteen percent of men had a completely normal urodynamic study and 68% had detrusor over-activity. There was no significant difference between pre- and post-bladder stone removal urodynamic findings.

  If the clinical suspicion remains high and the initial KUB reveals no stones, the next step is bladder ultrasonography, which may be able to differentiate a calculus from tumor or clot. […] With the increasingly widespread availability of ultrasonography, it is reasonable to use this relatively inexpensive and rapid modality more extensively in the diagnosis of bladder calculi. […] CT scanning is usually performed for other reasons (eg, abdominal pain, pelvic mass, or suspected abscess) but may demonstrate bladder calculi when performed without intravenous (IV) contrast material. […] Cystoscopy remains the most commonly used test for confirming the presence of bladder stones and planning treatment. […] The presence of long-standing untreated bladder calculi is associated with dysplasia and squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder.

[…] CT scans these may show bladder stones in more detail than a typical x-ray. A spiral CT scan may be requested in particular, which may show concerns in the bladder or elsewhere in the body. […] Renal tract ultrasound this test uses sound waves to create an image of your bladder and other urinary tract and pelvic structures. It may let your doctor spot a bladder stone and assess its size. […] Cystoscopy a thin, fibre-optic tube with a camera attached is passed into your bladder through your urethra, letting your urologist visually inspect the inside of your bladder on a screen.
