Recurrent Pure Calcite Urolithiasis Confirmed by Endoscopic Removal and Infrared Spectroscopy in a Malnourished Anorectic Female

چکیده
Often when calcite is found as a component of urinary calculi, they are considered false calculi or artifacts. We present a case of true calcite urolithiasis. The stone material was removed percutaneously from a severely malnourished anorectic woman and analyzed by infrared spectroscopy (IRS). In addition, calcite urolithiasis was confirmed in several recurrent stone events by IRS. Laxative abuse with magnesium oxide was believed to be the underlying cause of stone formation, and ammonium chloride given as one weekly dose turned out to be effective for stone prevention.

متن کاملAdenine Phosphoribosyltransferase Deficiency: A Rare Cause of Recurrent Urolithiasis
Background: Recurrent urolithiasis is troublesome for both patient and clinician, and in most cases, an underlying cause is not found. An important and underdiagnosed cause is adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) deficiency that gives rise to 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (2,8-DHA) stones. If diagnosed early, patient morbidity as well as the financial cost of treating stone recurrence can be avoided...
