J.J., age 52, presents to the E.R. after developing acute flank pain within the past 24 hours that she states "comes and goes." She reports some discomfort with urination, which she describes as "spasms when I pee." Laboratory tests show a small amount of hematuria and a slight increase in WBC in her blood and urine. Her pain rating was a 9 on a scale from 1 to 10 (with 10 being the highest). • Select a potential diagnosis for J.J. and describe the pathophysiology of that diagnosis. • How does the pathophysiology explain J.J.'s symptoms and lab results?
