INTRODUCTION: Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a widely used surgical intervention for removing large and complex renal calculi. While considered a safe and effective procedure, it can still lead to severe and rare complications, including bleeding, pulmonary complications, and liver dysfunction. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report presents a case who underwent PCNL for a kidney stone and subsequently developed a series of rare and severe complications. Following the PCNL procedure, the patient experienced significant bleeding, a known but uncommon complication of PCNL, pulmonary complications, a common complication that may carry a risk of death, and acute liver failure, an exceedingly rare consequence of PCNL...

CONTEXT: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is commonly diagnosed in the setting of hypercalcemia, whereas normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NHPT) may be misdiagnosed. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to compare hypercalcemic hyperparathyroidism (HPHPT) versus NHPT hypercalciuric renal stone patients. DESIGN AND SETTING: We took advantage of a routine calcium load test performed in hypercalciuric renal stone patients to assess retrospectively among PHPT patients, prevalence and characteristics of NHPT and HPHPT under a calcium restricted diet...

The green bean pods of Phaseolus vulgaris L. are traditionally used as a folk remedy for treating calcium oxalate kidney stones. The current research aimed to develop a syrup formulation containing green bean pod extract for anti-urolithiatic activity. The syrup was prepared using a simple blending method and optimized through a central composite design (CCD) with two independent variables: the ratio of pod juice (PJ) to sugar solution (SS) ranging from 1:0.5 to 1:1.5, and the percentage of CMC from 0.2% to 0...

Robotic flexible ureteroscopy (RFURS) has shown encouraging results in terms of stone free rate (SFR) and better ergonomics compared to conventional FURS. However, few studies have reported its outcomes. The goal of this study was to report our initial results of RFURS, furthermore we proposed a novel metrics for composite outcome reporting named tetrafecta. A retrospective analysis of electronic records of 100 patients treated with RFURS for renal stones between 2019 till 2023 was performed. Tetrafecta criteria included, complete stone removal after a single treatment session, without auxiliary procedures, absence of high-grade complications (GIII-V) and same-day hospital discharge...

OBJECT: The association between magnesium depletion score (MDS) and kidney stone disease (KSD) remains unknown. This study was designed to investigate the association of MDS with KSD in adults. METHODS: A total of 19,654 participants were enrolled from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES). The MDS was calculated by assessing four aspects, including alcohol assumption, renal function, and use of diuretics and proton pump inhibitor. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to explore the associations between MDS and the prevalence of KSD...

Gouty nephropathy (GN) is a metabolic disease with persistently elevated blood uric acid levels. The main manifestations of GN are crystalline kidney stones, chronic interstitial nephritis, and renal fibrosis. Understanding the mechanism of the occurrence and development of GN is crucial to the development of new drugs for prevention and treatment of GN. Currently, most studies exploring the pathogenesis of GN are primarily based on animal and cell models. Numerous studies have shown that inflammation, oxidative stress, and programmed cell death mediated by uric acid and sodium urate are involved in the pathogenesis of GN...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the thermal profiles of the holmium laser at different laser parameters at different locations in an in vitro anatomic pelvicalyceal collecting system (PCS) model. Laser lithotripsy is the cornerstone of treatment for urolithiasis. With the prevalence of high-powered lasers, stone ablation efficiency has become more pronounced. Patient safety remains paramount during surgery. It is well recognized that the heat generated from laser lithotripsy has the potential to cause thermal tissue damage...

Background The narrower focal zone (FZ) size of modern lithotripter was considered as one of the factors that resulted in suboptimal treatment result of shockwave lithotripsy (SWL). Therefore, we would like to investigate the efficacy and safety of standard narrow or extended (FZ) sizes in SWL for patients with renal stones. Material and Methods: In this prospective study conducted between April 2018 and October 2022, patients with renal stones were randomized to receive SWL with either standard or extended FZ...

INTRODUCTION: Patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) may exhibit enteric hyperoxaluria (EH), and the prevalence of oxalate nephropathy in SBS is likely underestimated. Plasma oxalate (POx) is a surrogate of systemic oxalate deposition and, consequently, may increase the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). The main objective of this study was to explore the distribution of POx levels in patients with SBS. METHODS: Patients followed for SBS were recruited prospectively in the OXAGO study (NCT04119765) to assess POx during their annual renal follow-up including iohexol clearance...
