Stones composed of uric acid 9%, struvite 10% and cystine of 1% are common[2]. Mutrashmari (Renal calculi/Kidney stones) is one among the Ashtamahagada (eight fatal conditions) and is Kaphapradhan Tridoshaja Vyadhi. It is correlated with urolithiasis. The prevalence of symptom...
Surgical management of renal calculi depends on stone size and location. Spontaneous passage can be expected for calculi less than 5 mm in diameter, however larger stones are unlikely to pass. Proximal ureteral stones less than 10 mm are preferably treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy ...
This study's aim was to assess the use of intravesical injection of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) as a treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) in children. A 6-year retrospective study of children who received BoNT-A for OAB was performed. Treatment outcome was classified as complete ...
Summary— The management of 50 patients with renal failure and renal and ureteric calculi is described. Following dialysis and appropriate surgical intervention, renal function improved in 86%. Patients with acute and acute on chronic renal failure improved to nearly normal and remained so on follow...
Primary gout either is due to defective renal excretion of uric acid resulting in hyperuricemia in the majority of cases or increased production in only a small percentage. Moreover, even though patients that have gout can also experience painful joints and urinary calculi, the occurrence of uric...
Micropercutaneous nephrolithotomy (microperc) vs retrograde intrarenal surgery for the management of small renal calculi: a randomized controlled trial. BJU Int. 2013;112(3):355–61. CrossRef Labate G, Modi P, Timoney A, Cormio L, Zhang X, Louie M, et al. The percutaneous nephrolithotomy...
It should be noted that in more than a third of patients who have a history consistent with renal calculi and microscopic haematuria, there will be no evidence of calculi on imaging,5 particularly in young female patients. When to refer ...
The optimal treatment of lower pole renal calculi is controversial. Shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrostolithotomy all constitute viable therapeutic options in select patients. Lower pole stones smaller than 1 cm in diameter can be managed with observation, shock wave lithotripsy...
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) remains the standard procedure for large (≥2 cm) renal calculi; however, laparoscopic pyelolithotomy (LPL) can be used as an alternative management procedure. The aim of present study was to compare LPL and PCNL in terms of efficacy and safety for the managem...
Relief of obstruction due to plugs Cystocentesis to drain the bladder(decompressive or therapeutic cystocentesis) should be performed as soon as possible in cats with very large bladders to prevent rupture of the bladder and to allow excretory renal function to resume. Relief of bladder pressure...
