متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF URINE AND BLOOD METABOLIC RISK FACTORS ON CALCIUM STONE FORMATION
In spite of vast improvements in urinary stone treatment (ESWL, PNL, ureteroscopy, etc.), metabolic workup concerning the existence of stone forming risk factors are of great importance and can lead to control and even prevention of urinary stone formation in these patients. In this analytical case-control study performed on 266 persons [110 normal persons (56 males and 54 females), 76 pat...
