Italian term or phrase: basse vie
In a lab report, urinalysis, sediment, description a phrase that appears to be "alcune calculs (?) basse vie" appears.

Can't really make it out. Any guesses?

Thanks very much!

Explanation:
I suppose it is "alcuni calcoli (nelle)basse vie (urinarie)" so "some stone in the lower urinary tract"

Buon lavoro,

urinary tract


Explanation:
urinary tract = urethra, bladder etc.
I think the word you mentioned is calculus, probably urinary calculus, a calcareous concretion in the urinary tract.
