Hello Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, let me advise you, that a bladder stone is the most likely. You can confirm it, by doing an ultrasound scan of the abdomen and pelvis. As there's a history of kidney stone treatment, a stone may have slipped down and caused this block to the urinary passage.  Its very common situation. The patient should be catheterized to relieve the acute retention of urine. Thereafter, once stone is confirmed, it can be treated endoscopically. If the patient is a male above 45-50 years of age, prostate gland is a cause. If you want my expert opinion, you can send it as a direct question.
