Filter by:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease, ranging from pure steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and ultimately to liver cirrhosis. In order to study the association between NAFLD and nephrolithiasis while minimizing the confounding effect of metabolic syndrome, we investigated the impact of different degrees of NAFLD severity on potential risk factors for stone formation.
The goal of this clinical trial study is to test if patients with idiopathic calcium oxalate kidney stones have an increased absorption of dietary oxalate, which would lead to increased urinary excretion of oxalate. The study will recruit adult patients with a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones and healthy volunteers without kidney stones. Participants will - ingest fixed diets containing low and moderately high amounts of oxalate for 5 days at a time - ingest a soluble form of oxalate and sugar preparations to test gut permeability - collect urine, blood, stool and breath sample during the fixed diets and the soluble oxalate test
The goal of this trial is to test if colonization with the gut bacteria Oxalobacter formigenes leads to a reduction in urinary oxalate excretion in patients with calcium oxalate kidney stone disease. The study will recruit adult participants with a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones who are not colonized with Oxalobacter formigenes. Participants will - ingest fixed diets containing low and moderately high amounts of oxalate for 4 days at a time - collect urine, blood and stool samples during the fixed diets - ingest a preparation of live Oxalobacter formigenes to induce colonization with Oxalobacter formigenes
This is a randomized controlled trial which aims to compare the efficacy and safety of Thulium fiber laser (TFL) and holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser ablation during the treatment of upper urinary tract stone disease with flexible ureteroscopy, demonstrating clinical superiority of TFL.
The purpose of this study is to clarify the fundamental processes underlying behavior change, maintenance, and adherence during and after a 3-month fluid intake intervention period.
The aim of this study is to analyze the prevalence, effect on quality of life, and treatment-related behaviors for renal colic and urolithiasis in a population-representative sample of Poles. We will be using an Internet interview format for renal colic and urolithiasis evaluation. The study will include respondents representative for age and place of residence with adequate proportions of respondents from urban and rural areas.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of electroconductive (EC) and electrohydraulic (EH) extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for the treatment of ureter and kidney stones, this study conducted a randomized controlled trial.
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial designed to assess the differences in postoperative symptoms related to placement of a 6Fr Percuflex ureteral stents, 6Fr Tria ureteral stents, and 4.8Fr Tria ureteral stents after ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy for treatment of upper tract urinary stones. 192 participants will be enrolled and will be on study for up to approximately 10 weeks.
The incidence of stone disease of the urinary tract in children is increasingly increasing with a remarkable economic impact for its management. This incidence is variable according to race, geographic region, socio-economic status and dietary habits. Oxalo-calcium stones are the most common but the biochemical nature of urinary stones varies depending on the region where those of a phosphatic nature are characterized by a higher incidence in Europe. The diagnosis is confirmed by imaging. The unprepared abdomen (ASP) has low diagnostic accuracy. The scanner is the reference tool but remains an irradiating examination. Risk factors for disease recurrence include primarily the presence of an underlying urinary metabolic abnormality and young age. Urinary metabolic abnormalities vary from one study to another. The understanding of lithogenesis, its evaluation as well as the therapeutic options is essential for adequate and adapted management in the pediatric population.
