This prospective study aimed to identify risk factors associated with progression stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the occurrence of stone formation or growth following nephrectomy for urolithiasis. From January 2006 May 2013, patients undergoing urolithiasis were enrolled. Renal function was assessed using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) via Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation, while events detected computed tomography. Among 107 followed an...
Phyllanthus niruri (P.niruri) or stone breaker is a plant commonly used to reduce risk, however, clinical studies on this issue are lacking.
To compare the manufacturing and in vitro performance characteristics of two single-use flexible ureteroscopes with a permanent optical ureteroscope.Two ureteroscopes, LithoVue (Boston Scientific) Pusen (1rs. generation; Zhuhai Medical Technology Company Limited, China), were tested compared Flex-X2 ureteroscope (Karl Storz, Germany) terms technical characteristics, optics, deflection mechanism, additional parameters which could potentially affect surgical technique.Pusen was lightest while...
to identify risk factors for urinary septic shock in patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) can be performed in the prone or supine position. Comparisons between two techniques obese patients are rare current literature. Methods: The records of (body mass index >30) who underwent PCNL complete positions were reviewed. All had a noncontrast CT before and after procedure. Stones graded according to Guy stone score complications Clavien grading. stone-free rates, operative time, surgical complications, hospital stay analyzed. Results: A...
To define the most suitable approach to assess residual stone fragments after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS).Ninety-two patients (115 renal units) submitted RIRS for symptomatic kidney stones >5 mm and <20 or <15 in lower Calyx diagnosed by noncontrast CT (NCCT) were prospectively studied. Residual assessed endoscopic evaluation (END) at end of procedure NCCT, ultrasonography (US), kidney, ureter, bladder radiograph (KUB) on 90th postoperative day (POD). NCCT was considered gold...
We established the most common stone composition, and serum urinary biochemical features in patients with gout urolithiasis.We retrospectively searched for records of diagnosed among all those our registry. A matched case cohort formers was generated from registry who had same age, gender body mass index. Primary end points were baseline 24-hour metabolic panels composition. Medications considered. Groups compared using Student t chi-square/Fisher exact tests significance considered at p...
Purpose: To assess trends in urologic surgical management of upper tract urolithiasis Brazil over the past 15 years. Materials and Methods: The Public Health System (SUS) provides health coverage to 47% 74% population. SUS has a longitudinal hospital inpatient database (SIH/SUS). Hospital discharges between January 1,1998 December 31, 2012 were abstracted from SIH/SUS. All hospitalizations for patients any age with primary/secondary diagnosis code N20.x (calculus kidney or ureter)...
