What Is The Purpose Of Ureteral Stent While Treating Myeloproliferative Disease?
Two weeks ago my 60yo brother was life flighted for probable Budd-Chiari Syndrome (I m assuming). He was c/o abdominal pain of three days and found to have a thrombosis of the right Hepatic vein and ascites. His face was almost unrecognizable due to the severe swelling. One year ago he was dx with a DVT and was treated in the hospital for a myeloproliferative disease. Amongst the many other delimas and treatments a ureteral stent was placed today. I am wondering if that was done for kidney stones or something more serious. I know this is not a full picture but am wondering if you can give me some other reasons for the stent. Thank you.

hi,
thank you for providing a brief history of the case. well stents are use to maintain heamodynamics. so when ever a stent is used the ideal concept is to get the normal heamodynamics. let's talk about DVT and swelling of the face. as you know DVT is the deep vein thrombosis where the thombus leads to obstruction in the normal heamodynamics so it is preferred to use stent for easy flow. next coming stent in the kidney is used to think for the normalcy of the kidneys to function and do proper excretion. people with DVT should perform regular physical exercise to maintain the haemodynamics. and once the body adapts to this physcial exercise the haemodynamic comes closer to normal.
with the grace of God I wish a speedy recovery
