Filter by:The aim of this research is to use a controlled laboratory setting to determine whether bacteria isolated from kidney stones of patients play a role in the formation of non-infectious kidney stones. It is well known that struvite stones are associated with active bacterial infection, however the role of bacteria in the formation of non-infection stones (like calcium oxalate) is not well characterized and there are theories that bacteria are involved in the making of these stones.
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the suctioning flexible ureteroscopy(SF-URS) with automatic control of renal pelvic pressure for the treatment of upper urinary calculi using a prospective, randomized design. Half of participants will receive suctioning flexible ureteroscopy with automatic control of renal pelvic pressure, while the other half participants will receive retrograde intrarenal surgery using the classic flexible ureteroscopy.
Thiazide diuretics will be more effective in lowering urine calcium excretion if taken at night as compared to the daytime. It will therefore be more effective in reducing kidney stone recurrence in nephrolithiasis patients with elevated urine calcium who are known to have increased risk of kidney stones at night time.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of low-calorie diet on serum and urinary metabolic parameters of obese adults with urinary calculi and lithogenic metabolic abnormalities.
Twenty (20) subjects presenting with a renal stone and candidates for FURS (flexible ureteroscopic renal surgery) will undergo a single FURS procedure for a kidney stone as part of the study, using the study device. These subjects will be randomized into stone breaking treatment or stone dusting.
to assess safety, efficacy of Flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) holmium:YAG laser lithotripsy (LL) compared to extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) in management of lower calyceal stones (LC) stones.
The treatment of renal calculus by retrograde intrarenal surgery(RIRS) isn't able to eliminate stone completely, hastening fragments clearance just only rely on traditional expulsive methods such as high fluid intake ,increasing physical activity, medical expulsive therapy and changing body position. Therefore, researchers purpose to evaluate the effectiveness of external physical vibration lithecbole(EPVL) in treatment of residual fragments after RIRS by prospective study of clinical trial, which will improve stone-free rate of residual fragments and benefit more patients.
To evaluate the effectiveness of RIRS (retrograde intrarenal surgery) and ESWL (extracorporeal shockwaves lithotripsy) in the treatment of renal stone ranging form 6 to 20 mm size.
The traditional stone row method comprises increasing exercise, drink lots of water, drug row of stone and stone row position. External physical vibration lithecbole(EPVL) is a non-invasive device active row of stone, the researchers hope that through this test prospective clinical study to evaluate the effectiveness of in vitro physical vibration row of stones after extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy(ESWL) treatment of stones discharged, thereby improving after ESWL stone clearance rate.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has been considered as the first-line choice for the management of >20mm kidney stones. The traditional nephrostomy tract of PNL was dilated to 24-30F, which is referred to as "Standard-PCNL". Standard PNL has an ideal stones free rate (SFR), however, at the cost of severe morbidity. To decrease the disadvantages related to standard PNL, "mini-perc" or "mini-PCNL", 20F or less, was first introduced to pediatric procedure in 1997, and subsequently implemented in adults with the expectation of similar SFR and low morbidity in the past twenty years. Although abundant efforts have been done, whether mini-perc outweigh standard-PNL for the treatment of >20mm calculis in terms of efficiency and safety remains controversial. To solve this problem, we performed this multicenter, parallel, open-label randomized controlled trial (RCT).
