An X-ray of the lower abdomen shows a shadow in the region of the ureter suspected to be a ureteric calculus. A possible clinical symptom would be
  1. acute renal failure (ARF)
  2. anuria and haematuria
  3. motor aphasia
  4. chronic renal failure (CRF).

Solution

Ureteric calculus (kidney stone) can cause symptoms like anuria (reduced urine output) and haematuria (presence of blood in urine) due to the obstruction of the ureter, which can cause pain and damage to the urinary tract. The stone blocks the flow of urine, leading to kidney dysfunction and possible bleeding.
