Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of lumasiran on the percent change in urinary oxalate excretion in patients with recurrent calcium oxalate kidney stone disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine if adding a spinal block (medicine that will numb parts of the body to block pain) along with standard pain control at the incision site will decrease the need for narcotics for pain management and decrease the percentage of patients requiring hospital admission for pain control during postoperative , in-hospital, care after a percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) (surgery to remove kidney stones), commonly called PERC.
The investigators have developed an extremely low dose renal computed tomography (CT) protocol that on preliminary testing has an effective dose in the range of a single view abdominal radiograph. The investigators plan to test this exam in patients with known or suspected urolithiasis undergoing clinically indicated CT.
The investigators objective is to determine if urinary electrolyte abnormalities exist in only one or both kidneys in participants with and without a history of kidney stones. To meet this objective, the investigators are going to take urine samples from each kidney at the time of kidney stone surgery. The samples will then be analyzed for absolute and relative differences in the concentrations of urine electrolytes, such as calcium.
Examine the effect of nutritional vitamin D repletion on urinary calcium excretion and kidney stone burden in calcium kidney stone formers
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate BackStop, a polymer-based device that is intended to be used during ureteroscopic lithotripsy to prevent retrograde stone migration.
In the diagnosis of renal colic gallstone , in addition to clinical and biological factors, it is a key : medical imaging. Currently , the French recommendations require at least a couple of Abdomen radiography Without Preparation lying face (ASP ) associated with abdominal ultrasound . "The abdominopelvic CT scan without injection of contrast is the examination of choice. Current recommendations in the management of gallstone colic simply based on the joint use of analgesics , anti inflammatory drugs and control of water intake . The mechanism of analgesic action of this treatment is a decrease in the pressure in the cavities by decrease in diuresis and inflammation treatment of ureteral permitting passage of urine . ) The expulsive medical therapy remains under evaluation. The French Association of Urology does not recommend at this time for lack of evidence deemed sufficient. For foreign companies Urology (EAU , AUA) , the use of calcium channel blockers or alpha blockers in the treatment of symptomatic lower ureteral stones (4 to 10mm ) is recommended (grade 1A) . However, there are less formal studies of their effectiveness . Investigators wish to demonstrate the effectiveness of alpha in medical expulsive therapy for pelvic stones 4 to 10mm .
RESEARCH QUESTION Do ureteric stents with tethers, left in-situ for 1-2 weeks, increase the rate of stent bacterial colonization, urinary bacterial colonization and stent related lower urinary tract symptoms compared to stents without tethers? HYPOTHESIS We hypothesize that ureteral double-J stents with tethers increase the rate of stent bacterial colonization, but do not increase the rate of urinary bacterial colonization or stent related lower urinary tract symptoms compared to stents without tethers when left in-situ for 1-2 weeks.
This study will sought to determine if limited urine collections can provide similar or more informative data than standard 24-hour urine collections used to evaluate kidney stone formers.
This is a randomized control trial (meaning the selection is random as when flipping a coin) to assess the benefit of paravertebral blockade (PVB) in Percutaneous nephrolithotomy/nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) surgery.
