1 -- Monitor urine output closely for the first 24 hours after stents or ureteral catheters are removed. Edema or stricture of ureters may impede output and lead to hydronephrosis and kidney damage. Ambulation, adequate protein intake and blood pressure monitoring are all important in the care of this patient; however, ensuring that urine output is adequate following stent removal is the highest priority.
