History
Patients with horseshoe may have a positive history of:
- Renal stones due to obstruction, urinary stasis and infection or due to some metabolic abnormalities like hypercalcuria and hypocitraturia[1][2]
- Recurrent urinary tract infection due to increased urinary stasis
- Hydronephrosis due to urinary tract obstruction
Common Symptoms
