We report the case of a 3-year-old boy with urinary tract malformation (left sided stenosis of the ureteropelvic junction) which was precipitating factor for ensuing nephrolithiasis of the left kidney during the therapy with ceftriaxone. The treatment with spasmolytics was initiated, together with the forced parentheral hydration. After 3 weeks, there was no evidence of calculi in the urinary t...

INTRODUCTION The occurrence of urolithiasis in pregnancy represents a challenge in both diagnosis and treatment of this condition, because it presents risks not only to the mother but also to the fetus. Surgical treatment may be indicated for patients with infection, persistent pain, and obstruction of a solitary kidney. We present our experience on the management of pregnant patients with uret...

The early diagnosis and extraction of a stone from the kidney before suppurative changes have been induced by it is one of the great elements in the successful treatment of renal calculi. It is, however, a matter of common experience that exploratory incisions not infrequently fail in the detection of a

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a rare and severe manifestation of chronic kidney inflammation that can be critical if not recognized treated appropriately, often requires surgical intervention along with antibiotics. Most commonly presented in the fifth or sixth decade life prior history nephrolithiasis, obstructive uropathy, recurrent urinary tract infections. Here, we discuss 45-...

Background: Kidney stone disease can be quite painful, recurrent, and affects many people. Despite advances in drug therapy, there is still a need to find effective drugs with fewer complications for long-term treatment of kidney stones and to prevent its recurrence. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Prunus mahaleb L. seed extract on ethylene glycol- and ammonium chloride-induce...

BACKGROUND Spinal cord injury produces multiple systemic and metabolic alterations. A decrease in micro vascular blood flow to liver, spleen and muscle has been described following spinal cord injury. CASE PRESENTATION We present a 46-year-old male patient with C-4 complete tetraplegia, who developed a large stag horn calculus with branches in upper, middle and lower calyces of left kidney. T...

Analysing the data available in the literature, contemporary methods of treatment of nephrolithiasis are limited to the methods of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy (URSL), not excluding their use in the presence of developmental abnormalities and kidney impairment only. Minimally invasive methods have become standard procedures. A compleme...
