Xanthine dehydrogenase catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid in the final two steps of the purine degradation process. Xanthine oxidase deficiency is an uncommon cause of pediatric urinary stone formation, and classical xanthinuria. A ten-month-old boy presented with a seven-month history of nausea, vomiting, discomfort during urination, gross hematuria a...

Acute gastroenteritis with viral infection in infants causes severe diarrhea and often results in acute renal failure due to severe dehydration. However, a viral infection, particularly rotavirus, rarely induces postrenal failure due to bilateral stones in infants.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Kidney stones and their risk factors aggregate in families, yet few studies have systematically estimated heritabilities and genetic correlations of the numerous urinary traits associated with risk of kidney stones. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Twenty-four-hour urine samples were collected from the Genetic Epidemiology Network of Arteriopathy cohort ...

PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of single-source dual-energy (DE) computed tomography (CT) with sequential data acquisition and a coregistration motion correction algorithm for urinary stone characterization and to evaluate the value of iterative reconstructions (IRs) in DE imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-five urinary stones were place...

introduction: aphallia is a very rare urogenital anomaly with incidence rate of 1 in 30,000,000. it usually coexists with other anomalies such as cardiovascular anomalies which are incompatible with normal life, and therefore infants are delivered stillbirth or live for a very short period of time. methods: we present an 18 months old boy with aphallia associated with congenital urethrorectal f...

Although all types of urinary stones can potentially form staghorn calculi, approximately 75% are composed of a struvite matrix and are generally associated with urinary tract infection caused by urea -splitting...

The factors formation the efficiency and safety of urinary stone crushing using holmium thulium fiber lasers were selected, substantiated normalized. A multifactorial integral criterion urolithiasis treatment by laser lithotripsy was formed analyzed. Recommendations are given for use stones.

INTRODUCTION Elimination of stone is determined by size and its localization. Stone from the ureter in 80% of cases can be eliminated spontaneously. If the stone by its characteristics is not spontaneously eliminated, taken are further steps and therapeutic protocols to solve this problem. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was prospective, open and comparative. It was conducted at the Urology Cl...
