BACKGROUND Interracial disparities in nephrolithiasis prevalence have been reported, but the interplay between genetics and the environment for urinary stone disease risk factors is poorly understood. To examine how environment may alter genetic predisposition for stone formation, we established the International Chinese Consortium on Nephrolithiasis (ICCON) as a multi-institutional collaborati...
Cystinuria is the commonest inherited cause of nephrolithiasis (~1% in adults; ~6% in children) and is the result of impaired cystine reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule. Cystine is poorly soluble in urine with a solubility of ~1 mM and can readily form microcrystals that lead to cystine stone formation, especially at low urine pH. Diagnosis of cystinuria is made typically by ion-exchange...
Introduction & Objective: After urinary tract infection and prostatic disorders , the urine stones are the third common genitourinary diseases. Demographic, environmental and genetic factors affect urine stone formation. The aim of our study is to survey epidemiologic factors in patients with urinary stones referring to educational hospitals of Hamadan during 2010-2013. ...
BACKGROUND Computed Tomography (CT) is considered the gold-standard for the pre-operative evaluation of urolithiasis. However, no Hounsfield (HU) variable capable of differentiating stone types has been clearly identified. The aim of this study is to assess the predictive value of HU parameters on CT for determining stone composition and outcomes in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). METHOD...
Pediatric urolithiasis and calcular anuria in early infancy are rare. Cystine stones may develop in utero or during early infancy. We report the case of a female 9-month-old infant with obstructive anuria resulting from cystine stones in a single functioning unit. She presented to the emergency department owing to the absence of micturition for 3 days. Radiological investigations revealed four ...
OBJECTIVE To review the clinical features of stone disease in dogs and cats for a non-veterinary audience. METHODS Relevant peer-reviewed scientific reports were reviewed. RESULTS Lower urinary tract stones are more common in dogs and cats than they are in humans. In addition to struvite stones, calcium oxalate, urate and cystine stones are all commonly found in the bladder and the urethra....
The incidence of nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) is rising worldwide, especially in women and with increasing age. Kidney stones are associated with chronic kidney disease. Preventing recurrence is largely specific to the type of stone (e.g., calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, cystine, struvite [magnesium ammonium phosphate]), and uric acid stones); however, even when the stone cannot be retri...
INTRODUCTION Kidney stones are a common problem worldwide with substantial morbidities and economic costs. Medical therapy reduces stone recurrence significantly. Much progress has been made in the last several decades in improving therapy of stone disease. AREAS COVERED This review discusses i) the effect of medical expulsive therapy on spontaneous stone passage, ii) pharmacotherapy in the p...
Introduction Research into the aetiology of calculus disease has failed to reveal the fundamental cause of stone formation, but it is apparent that various factors predispose to their development. Renal calculi are likely to occur in most diseases in which there is an increased urinary excretion of crystalloid stone-forming substances. Calcium phosphate and oxalate stones are particularly liabl...
