Rarely occurring at birth, crossed renal ectopia is an abnormality in which both kidneys occupy the same side of the body while one ureter - its length based on kidney location - traverses across midline to graft into opposite-side bladder. McDonald and McClellan classified renal ectopia into 4 types. Solitary crossed renal ectopia (SCRE) is an extremely uncommon abnormality of the urinary system. To date, only 35 instances have been documented in published literature. Typically, these cases are detected by chance during patient assessments for related issues such as genitourinary, cardiovascular, hematological or vertebral abnormalities...

BACKGROUND: Urinary lithiasis constitutes a recurrent pathology affecting a relatively young population. The risk of progression to chronic renal failure and the cost of treatment are the most important issues. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is responsible for urolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis in 7% of patients, and it represents the 7th cause of urolithiasis in Tunisia. Unfortunately, it remains an underdiagnosed pathology although it is curable. We aim to determine the clinical, biological, therapeutic, and evolutionary particularities of urinary lithiasis associated with PHPT in a nephrology setting...

Phytotherapy, which involves the use of plant extracts and natural compounds for medicinal purposes, is indeed a promising alternative for managing urinary lithiasis. Many plants have been studied for their potential to prevent and treat kidney stones, and they may offer a more natural and potentially less harmful approach compared to conventional treatments. Additionally, phytotherapy may be more cost-effective. The aim of the present study was to investigate the antilithic potential of extracts and essential oils of Saussurea costus (Falc) Lipsch in two in vivo models, one on ethylene glycol-induced calcium oxalate crystal formation and the other to assess the effects of these extracts on magnesium oxide-induced struvite crystal formation...

This research demonstrates the diuretic effect of naringenin, a flavanone aglycone found in citrus, on spontaneously hypertensive female and male rats (SHR). The data reinforces existing literature findings that male SHR exhibits higher systolic blood pressure than age-matched females. Urine volume assessed over 8 hours was lower when obtained from SHR males than females. When these animals were orally treated with different doses of naringenin (0.1 - 1 mg/kg), this increased urinary volume in both genders at the highest dose tested...

The relationship between urinary tract infection caused by urease-producing bacteria and lithiasis due to struvite stones is well established in the literature. However, there is limited knowledge on whether non-urease producing bacteria can also promote crystallization. In our study, we analyzed the association between urinary lithiasis, other than struvite by crystallography and non-ureolytic bacteria, in 153 patients who underwent surgery for urinary stone. The collected samples were sent for crystallographic analysis and culture...

Bladder lithiasis is common in developing countries. It has become rare in industrialized countries and exceptional in the absence of associated lower tract pathology. usually caused by urinary tract infections, urethral obstruction or the presence of intravesical foreign bodies. Open cystolithotomy was performed on a 45-year-old patient with lower abdominal pain, moderate dysuria, pollakiuria, nocturia, and hematuria for a long time. A stone of 12 × 8cm in size and approximately 620 grams in weight was removed...

Pyonephrosis is a serious condition that can lead to kidney dysfunction, loss of the organ, and even fatal end due to its complications. The underlying etiologic factors include lithiasis, recurrent urinary infections, ureter stricture, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, malignancy, and retroperitoneal fibrosis. One of the rare possible complications of pyonephrosis is a retroperitoneal rupture with spontaneous communication to the abdomen causing secondary peritonitis. We present such a case which is the first video-documented report of the peritoneal rupture site within the abdominal cavity...

Urolithiasis is defined as a disease diagnosed by the presence of one or more stones in the urinary tract. It is one of the oldest and most widespread diseases known to man, their discovery and characterisation chronology began with the civilisation's history. This pathology has a multifactorial aetiology, very frequent worldwide with geographic and racial variation, their prevalence is increasing in lockstep with socioeconomic development. In fact, this disorder affects between 2 and 20% of the population, with an approximate recurrence rate of 30% to 50% in 5 years...

Nephrolithiasis affects around 10% of the population and is frequently associated with impaired dietary factors. The first one is insufficient fluid intake inducing reduced urine volume, urine supersaturation, and subsequently urinary lithiasis. Kidneys regulate 24 h urine volume, which, under physiological conditions, approximately reflects daily fluid intake. The aim of this study is to synthesize and highlight the role of hydration in the treatment of nephrolithiasis. Increasing fluid intake has a preventive effect on the risk of developing a first kidney stone (primary prevention) and also decreases the risk of stone recurrence (secondary prevention)...

INTRODUCTION: Double-j (DJ) ureteral stents are used for multiple purposes in Urology. Even though they temporize the subsequent treatment of lithiasis, they may cause different symptoms that impact quality of life. PURPOSE: in this randomized trial we assessed whether the diameter of ureteral stents has an impact on catheter-associated symptoms, and their impact on quality of life. METHODS: A total of 194 consecutive patients undergoing DJ insertion between December 2018 and December 2022 were prospectively enrolled and divided into three categories: 4...

The morphological-compositional analysis of urinary stones allows distinguishing schematically several situations: dietary, digestive, metabolic/hormonal, infectious and genetic problems. Blood and urine testing are recommended in the first instance to identify risk factors of urinary stone disease in order to avoid recurrence or progression. The other objective is to detect a potential underlying pathology associated with high risk of urinary stone disease (e.g. primary hyperparathyroidism, primary or enteric hyperoxaluria, cystinuria, distal renal tubular acidosis) that may require specific management...

It has been shown that the relative risk of cancer is higher in patients with urinary stone disease, probably due to the repeated radiological exams and procedures under fluoroscopic guidance. Reducing the radiation doses delivered to the patient also decreases the doses delivered to the operators and their assistants. The doses delivered during endoscopic procedures decrease with the urologist's experience. Training in radiation protection and the use of protocols can decrease the use of ionizing radiation in the operating room...
