It is generally accepted that acromegaly is often associated with hypercalciuria, but there are few reports on the frequency and the mechanisms of urolithiasis. Recently we consecutively experienced 2 cases of acromegaly with urolithiasis, and these experiences made us investigate the association between urolithiasis and acromegaly. Among 18 acromegalies from 1977 to March 1990 (10 males, 8 fem...

Background: Injury extent and optimal management of asymptomatic urinary stones remain unclear, though they can be removed by almost any version of surgical management that is applicable to symptomatic stones. Objective: To compare the general characteristics, surgical outcomes, safety and postoperative renal functional changes between symptomatic and asymptomatic urolithiasis treated with surg...

PURPOSE Urolithiasis is associated with pain and other decreases in health related quality of life, yet there is no urolithiasis specific instrument to measure quality of life. Quality of life is an important end point in the management of urolithiasis. Therefore, we developed the Wisconsin StoneQOL, a disease specific instrument to assess the quality of life of patients with urolithiasis. MA...

Background. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) influence a variety of biological functions by regulating gene expression post-transcriptionally. Aberrant miRNA expression has been associated with many human diseases. Urolithiasis is a common disease, and idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH) is an important risk factor for calcium urolithiasis. However, miRNA expression patterns and their biological functions in urol...
