We conducted such a study to determine the incidence of renal stones by age, gender, and calendar year over a 25-year period. METHODS The Rochester Epidemiology Project was used to identify all children diagnosed with renal stones (ICD9 codes 592, 594, and 274.11) from ages 0–17 years ...
The 1-year incidence of NEP (ICD-9 codes 592.x) after RT in 1997 was compared to the rate of NEP in the general population using the National Hospital Discharge Survey. Associations with time to hospitalizations for a primary diagnosis of nephrolithiasis were assessed by Cox Regression. NEP ...
urological procedures after emergency department visits for ureteral stones.In a retrospective analysis of patients seen in the emergency department we included 2,105 emergency department visits associated with an ICD-9 diagnosis of urolithiasis in which computerized tomography abdomen/pelvis scan was ...
In addition, we observed an association with kidney stones that was positively associated with our w-GRS; a relationship that has not been previously reported with eGFR. Our results are consistent with a prior study that reported an association between increased eGFR and hypercalciuria78. It is ...
This very small time gap may be indicative that the stones are formed at a relatively rapid rate. These findings are in line with the current ones that the highest numbers of ER visits due to RC were recorded during the warmest months of the year—July through October. Taken together with...
Kidney stones were more common than ureteral stones, and percutaneous procedures were more common than ureteroscopy or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). The only risk factor identified for NEP was renal failure due to stone disease (only one case). NEP was uncommon after RT, but was...
Nephrolithiasis was defined as an inpatient or outpatient ICD-9 diagnosis code for nephrolithiasis or an associated condition, plus an imaging/corrective procedure code. Renal failure was also identified using diagnosis codes among patients experiencing nephrolithiasis. Hazard ratios were estimated using ...
using alkaline potassium salt can effectively prevent hypercalciuria kidney stones [23]. Patient-oriented and epidemiology studies have demonstrated that a sodium intake of 220 mEq/day or higher is linked to a nearly twofold increase in the likelihood of developing kidney stones, compared to an excre...
