UROLITHIASIS

Introduction. Recently, the inexorable rise in the incidence of urolithiasis was recorded. Nowadays, detection of the causes of kidney stone formation and reduction in the number of recurring stones is possible with the help of chemical analysis of kidney stone composition and examination of biochemical parameters of blood and urine. It is also important to evaluate patient’s eating patterns as well. Interviewing of the group of interest using questionnaire surveys is one of the most effective and popular ways of eating patterns evaluation.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of different approaches to metaphylaxis of uric acid urolithiasis.

Introduction. Detection of the dependence of the extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) effectiveness on urinary stone composition is the goal of this study.

Materials and methods. In the Izmirlian MC, during the period from 2005 to 2013 one hundred thirty-eight patients’ stone fragments with urolithiasis have been studied aer the ESWL.

In this review we analyze the role of exogenic and endogenic risk factors of nephrolithiasis and their link to dysfunction of renal tubules and discuss cell membrane pathology, lipid peroxidation, ischemia and hypoxia of the kidneys, as well as hormonal balance and renal innervation with regard to urine lithogenic properties.

Actuality: staghorn urolithiasis is a heavy disease, taking one of the leading places among the urogenital pathology. Selecting the least traumatic intervention in those patients is one of the complex tasks in the urological practice. 

Aim: to evaluate the role of the retrograde nephrolithotripsy for the patients with staghorn nephrolithiasis. 

The mineral composition of the 437 urinary stones was studied in 437 patients with urolithiasis aged from 16 to 75 years, which have been treated in the National Scientific Urological Institute. Body-mass index (BMI), blood biochemistry panel and biochemistry of 24-hour urine probe were evaluated in all patients. Quartile analysis of the data was done according to the BMI distribution. Lower quartile was represented by BMI values < 24.1 kg/m2 (n=99), upper quartile by BMI values > 33.1 kg/m2 (n=99).

Hypercalciuria is the main lithogenic metabolic disorders in patients with calcium urolithiasis. This metabolic sign could be seen most often with other metabolic risk factors of urolithiasis (hyperuricosuria, hyperoxaluria, hypocitraturia and hypomagniuria). Pathogenetic mechanisms of hypercalciuria development are manifold, which provide basis for different forms of hypercalciuria. 

Aim of the study: to investigate the effect of phytomedicine Canephron® N on the outcomes of the extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL). 

Thirty-four patients with the urate urolithiasis were on the follow-up during 3-6 years: 16 women and 18 men, with age range 31-66 years. In 31 case urolithiasis was recurrent. Three patients were diagnosed with the diabetes mellitus. Function of the kidneys and liver was normal according to the biochemical investigations.

Study purpose: to establish the relationship of hematuria inurolithiasisafter LT on individual platelet reactivity.
