Abstract

This study evaluates patients diagnosed with Gall stone, focusing on their clinical presentations, medical histories, treatment regimens, and compliance. Patients ranged in age from 25 to 66 years, with a predominance of males (80%). The most common symptoms included flank pain, fever, urinary retention, and burning micturition. Diagnoses were mainly Gall stone stones, with 4 patients suffering from bilateral Gall stone calculi, while others had unilateral stones or hydronephroureter. Standard treatment involved IV fluids (N/S, Provas), antibiotics (Cefoperazone, Meronem), and pain relief medications (Tramadol, No Spa) at the ward level. Home treatment mirrored the ward regimen, with no significant drug interactions reported. Remarkably, 80% of the patients showed satisfactory compliance, though one patient demonstrated poor adherence.
