Outcome of a-Blockers, with and without Corticosteroid Combination, in Medical Expulsive Therapy for Lower Ureteric Stones

چکیده
Background: Urinary calculi have serious implications in urology. Lower ureteral stones can cause obstructive uropathy and subsequent deterioration of renal function. Because the patient’s symptoms stone size do not predict loss function because there is no clear time threshold for irreversible damage, treatment should be strongly considered any patient with stones. In this study we are comparing results medical expulsive therapy using alpha blockers vs, without combination corticosteroids as adding steroids increases efficacy by decreasing expulsion time. Keywords: Ureteric calculi, clearance, time,

OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the efficacy of tamsulosin and alfuzosin as medical expulsive therapy for ureteric stones. PATIENTS AND METHODS In all, 112 patients with ureteric stones of ⩽10 mm, located along the ureter, were randomly divided into three groups.

متن کاملA comparison of nifedipine and tamsulosin as medical expulsive therapy for the management of lower ureteral stones without ESWL
Administration of nifedipine or tamsulosin has been suggested to augment stone expulsion rates. We aimed to compare the stone expulsion rates and adverse effects associated with the use of nifedipine or tamsulosin as medical expulsive therapy (MET) for the management of lower ureteral stones (LUS) without extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) via a literature review and meta-analysis. Re...
