high grade fever plus chills plus increased bilirubin may be due to cholangitis( bile duct inflammation) or acute hep B hepatitis.BPH is not significant because there is no hydroureteronephrosis. tendency to recurrent calculus formation should be investigated by analysing 24 hrs urine calcium, Uric acid , oxalate and citrate estimation.
