When the ureteral stones are not discharged in time, they can grow in the original site, causing the patient to have corresponding clinical manifestations, such as: renal colic, hematuria, etc, when severe, can cause renal obstruction and hydronephrosis, seriously endangering the patient's health. Ureteral calculi usually occur in young and middle-aged people. The peak age of the disease is between 20 and 50 years old. It also occurs in the young and middle-aged labor force. The men incidence rate is 2 to 3 times that of women. Ureteral calculi is one of the current refractory diseases, and the effect after treatment with integrated Chinese and Western medicine is remarkable.Methods and analysisWe will search for PubMed, Cochrane Library, AMED, EMbase, WorldSciNet; Nature, Science online and China Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), China Biomedical Literature CD-ROM Database (CBM), and related randomized controlled trials included in the China Resources Database. The time is limited from the construction of the library to November 2018. We will use the criteria provided by Cochrane 5.1.0 for quality assessment and risk assessment of the included studies, and use the Revman 5.3 and Stata13.0 software for meta-analysis of the effectiveness, recurrence rate, and symptom scores of ureteral.Ethics and disseminationThis systematic review will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Traditional Chinese medicine for ureteral.
