[QUOTE="OMI100, post: 98967, member: 71"] 1. Last Thursday was stint (round 1). 2. This coming Wednesday will most likely be lithotripsy (round 2). 3. I have not had the "Prostatic Calcifications" tied to my high PSA , BUT on the surface it makes since as my 4K blood test was good and the 3T-MP-MRI was also good and the fact that I did have a prostate infection and the PSA came down with Doxy. 4. I did look at my 3T-MP-MRI (8-2017) and it did not flag any "Prostatic Calcifications" but it did say "innumerable nodules present consistent with BPH". 5. Fast forward to 12-2017 and a ultrasound as I thought I had a gallbladder attack. The report said "opinion: Pyelocaliectasis involving right kidney suspected to represent chronic changes but clinical correlation is recommended. If indicated clinically further evaluation could include correlation with CT or IVP findings". ( I did not get a copy of this until after I had my CT scan.) 6. CT scan on 2-2018 noted "The prostate gland is moderately enlarged and has calcifications within it". 7. That is when I said to myself "What the hell is this 'Pyelocaliectasis' and what the hell is this 'calcifications' all about." 8. Google is your friend :) 9. Kinda looks like the DR dropped the ball on my ultrasound in 12-2017! **One more reference here: [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5756803/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
