Urological pathology has a high frequency of occurrence in the emergency department and is part of the wide range of occurrences that can benefit from this ultrasound screening as a clinical guide for patients. Case Presentation: In this case, a patient experiencing lower abdominal pain and symptoms of renal colic sought assistance at a basic emergency service facility. Utilizing a renal screening ultrasound executed by a sonographer, the clinical team identified images indicative of a significant bladder calculus. Subsequently, the patient was referred to a referral hospital for a comprehensive evaluation by medical specialties. Conclusion: The images obtained in both health units exhibited congruence, indicating that the screening ultrasound, while not intended to replace the specialized orthodox ultrasound executed by a radiologist, served as a crucial tool for diagnostic presumption, providing consistency in clinical decision-making for referring patients. This capability allowed emergency physicians to promptly transfer a patient requiring urgent further investigation to a referral hospital with compelling and substantiated data. This shift in the approach to patient triage in a remote setting could enhance patient safety.engCalculusCystolithotomyEmergencyRenalScreeningUltrasoundjournal article2025-01-28cv-prod-428577310.2174/0115734056324600241114055235
