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.
