Humans have been affected with renal stones since time immemorial and modern-day lifestyle impose even greater threat for the formation of renal calculi. Stones at ureterovesicular junction often pose a threat for acute renal obstruction with signs of urinary tract infection and a urologic emergency, often in the form of surgical intervention. The conventional treatment offers shock wave lithotripsy and ureteroscopy as the mainstream treatment for these types of stones. Often it is seen that in spite of the mainstream treatment, the rate of recurrence is extremely high. Because renal calculi are a result of metabolic disturbance hence a holistic approach is required to treat such cases. Homoeopathy being individualistic in its approach makes the most suitable treatment option for renal calculi. Urinary stones up to 5mm pass out on their own without any surgical intervention. Whereas stones measuring more than 7mm almost always need surgical intervention. Here, this case study intends to explain the suitable homoeopathic approach to treat such kind of cases, where the size of stones is large (4.9mm, 10mm in this case) and the pathophysiology is very diverse.
