CLINICAL STUDIES ON CHILDHOOD UROLITHIASIS

Childhood urolithiasis in Britain.

Urolithiasis in childhood.

During the nineteenth and earlier centuries urolithiasis was a common paediatric problem and the many reports in the literature bear testimony to this. The total incidence of stone in the urinary tract has lessened in this country and at the same time there has been a disproportionate decrease in the number of cases seen in children so that the present incidence in childhood is low. However, ur...

[Clinical studies on the recurrence of urolithiasis (5). Diurnal variation in urinary pH and stone compositions].

Correlation of the composition of the urinary calculi with urine pH, especially of diurnal variation, and composition of urinary excretion was studied. Urine pH in the patients with uric acid stones was constantly low and urinary pH in the patients with apatite and struvite stones was always high. Diurnal variation was not observed. In patients with pure calcium oxalate stones, however, urinary...

Metabolic Disorders and Molecular Background of Urolithiasis in Childhood

The underlying molecular mechanism of urolithiasis has been shown in a number of conditions, and some of them have been discovered in pediat...
