Cause of Stone Disease
 Supersaturation of urine is the key to stone formation
 Intermittent supersaturation - Dehydration
 Crystal aggregation
 Anatomic Abnormailities  PUJ , MSK
 Bacterial Infection
 Defects in transport of Calcium and Oxalate by Renal
epithelia
E.Coli infection increases matrix content in urine . Proteus makes urine alkaline
Inhibitors & Promoters of Stone Formation in Urine
INHIBITORS
Inhibits crystal Growth -
 Citrate  complexes with Ca
 Magnesium  complexes with
oxalates
 Pyrphosphate - complexes
with Ca
 Zinc
Inhibits crystal Aggregation
 Glycosaminoglycans
 Nephrocalcin
 Tamm- Horsfall Protein
PROMOTERS
 Bacterial Infection
 Matrix
 Anatomic Abnormalities  PUJ
obst., MSK
 Altered Ca and oxalate transport
in renal epithelia
 Prolonged immobilisation
 Increased uric acid levels I.e
taking increased purine subs
promotes crystalisation of Ca and
oxalate
 ?? Nanobacteria  seen in 97% of
renal stones

 CYSTINE
Uncommon Stones
XANTHINE STONES
 (Autosomal Recessive . Def of Xanthine Oxidase leading to Xanthinuria)
DIHYDROXYADENINE STONE
 ( Def. of enzyme adenine phospo ribosyl transferase )
SlLICATE STONES
 Rare in humans ( excess intake of Antacid with Mg Trisilicate. Mostly in
cattle due to ingestion of Sand )
MATRIX
- Infection by Proteus - Radiolucent (all calculi have some amt ( 3%) of matrix
but matrix calculus has 65% Matrix content in calculi)
Uncommon Stones
TRIAMTERENE
 Anti-hypertensive used with hydroclorothiazide  spare Potassium.
Mostly found as a nucleus in Ca oxalate or uric acid calculus
Indinavir Stones
- Drug to treat AIDS (4 to13%)
Ephedrine or Guifenesin

 Vascular Lesions
Know For Brownie Points
 Xanthine Calculus
 Hydroxyadenine Calculus
 Ephederine Calculus
 Infection due to gas forming
Org.
 Fungal Ball
 Tuberculoma
 Malacoplakia
 Hypertrophied Papilla
 Renal pseudo-tumour
OXALATE (CALCIUM OXALATE)
 ALSO CALLED MULBERRY STONE
 COVERED WITH SHARP PROJECTIONS
 SHARP MAKES KIDNEY BLEED (HAEMATURIA)
 VERY HARD
 RADIO - OPAQUE
Under microscope looks like Hourglass or Dumbbell shape if monohydrate and
Like an Envelope if Dihydrate
PHOSPHATE STONE
 USUALLY CALCIUM PHOSPHATE
 SOMETIMES  CALCIUM MAGNESIUM AMMONIUM
PHOSPHATE OR TRIPLE PHOSPHATE
 SMOOTH MINIMUM SYMPTOMS
 DIRTY WHITE
 RADIO - OPAQUE
Calcium Phosphate also called Brushite appears like Needle shape under
microscope
PHOSPHATE STONES
IN ALKALINE URINE

ENLARGES RAPIDLY

TAKE SHAPE OF CALYCES

STAGHORN 
Struvite can form Stag-horn and appear like coffin lid under microscope
CALCIUM PHOSPHATE STONES
 Hyperparathyroidism Ca P
 Renal Tubular Acidosis K CO2
 Medullary Sponge Kidney -
PTH Hormone Promotes renal production of 1-25-dihyroxycholecalciferol  active Vit.D and also
increases absorption of Calcium and decreases Phosphorus absorption from Kidneys
URIC ACID & URATE STONE
 HARD & SMOOTH
 MULTIPLE
 YELLOW OR RED-BROWN
 RADIO - LUCENT (USE ULTRASOUND)
Under microscope appear like irregular plates or rosettes
pKa of uric acid 5.75  at this pH 50% of uric acid insoluble.
If pH falls further - uric acid more insoluble
CYSTINE STONE
 AUTOSOMAL RECESIVE DISORDER
 USUALLY IN YOUNG GIRLS
 DUE TO CYSTINURIA -
 CYSTINE NOT ABSORBED BY TUBULES
 MULTIPLE
 SOFT OR HARD  can form stag-horns
 PINK OR YELLOW
 RADIO-OPAQUE
Under microscope appears like hexagonal or benezene
ring  ask for first morning sample
CYSTINE STONE - Management
 High Fluid Intake and Alkalanise Urine  dissolve most of
the smaller cystine stones
 D-Pencillamine or MPG (Mercaptopropionylglycine) binds to
cystine that is soluble in urine
 Side effects of Pencillamine restricts it use  Allergic
rashes, GI problems- Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhoea
 MPG better tolerated
 Large obstructive stones  Surgery required first
Cyanide Nitroprusside Calorimeteric Test for detecting Cystinuria. If positive do
amino acid chromatography
pKa of cystine is 8.3, hence alkalinisisation above pH7.5 helps to dissolve the stones
Surgical Conditions and Stone Disease
 Regional ileitis and Ileal Bypass Surgery for eg
Obesity can lead to increase oxalate absorption
and stone ds
 ileostomies - In Chr. Diarrhoea with Bicabonate
loss  systemic acidosis and acidic urine 
increases risk of Uric Acid stones

MANAGEMENT OF UROLITHIASIS
 Non-invasive approach to urinary calculas-
HALLMARK of last 20 yrs.
 Lithotripters 
1.Extra Corporeal Shock wave
2.Intra Corporeal
 Better fiber optics  Miniturisation of Telescopes
 Accessories - Innovative variety
Modern Management of Urolithiasis
 ESWL
 Ureterorenoscopy
 Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
 Laparoscopic Approach to stones
Open Ureterolithotomy, Pyelolithotomy or Nephropyelolithotomy is required in less
than 1 to 2% of modern stone management
TREATMENT (IDEALLY)
MAJORITY : 80 TO 85 % of all stones can be treated by -
EXTRA - CORPOREAL SHOCK WAVE LITHOTRIPSY (ESWL)
MINORITY : 15 TO 20 % SHOULD NEED MINIMALLY
INVASIVE SURGERY (PCNL / URETEROSCOPY)
(LESS THAN 1 % SHOULD NEED OPEN SURGERY)
EXTRA - CORPOREAL SHOCK WAVE LITHOTRIPSY
(ESWL)
SHOCK WAVES GENERATED UNDER WATER CAN
TRAVEL THROUGH BODY WITHOUT ANY APPRECIABLE
LOSS OF ENERGY. WHEN THEY ENCOUNTER STONES
THE CHANGES IN DENSITY CAUSES ENERGY TO BE
ABSORBED AND REFLECTED BY THE STONE & THIS
RESULTS IN FRAGMENTATION OF THE STONES.
ESWL  For Urinary Tract Calculus
ESWL- FOUR MAIN ELEMENTS
1. ENERGY SOURCE
2. FOCUSING DEVICE
3. COUPLING DEVICE
4. LOCALIZATION DEVICE
ESWL
Absolute Contra-indication-
Pregnancy
Relative Contra-Indications for ESWL 
 Renal Colic
 Urinary obstruction
 Infection
 Declining Renal Function
 Significant Hematuria
COUPLING DEVICE

RESULTS WITH NEW MEASUREMENTS
ESWL & STAGHORNS
 Dornier HM-3 Monotherapy for STAGSHORNS -
30% Stone Free Rate (In Dilated Collecting System )
 PCNL has higher overall Success
 Combination of PCNL & ESWL can give a
stone free rates of 90% For ALL STONES IN THE
KIDNEY
COMPRESSION-TENSILE WAVE
CAUSES:
Implosion Rather than Explosion
ESWL & URETERIC CALCULI

stone necessary
 If stones impacted fragmentation may not
occur

ESWL COMPLICATIONS
 Haematuria  is quite common ( short term
antibiotics Recommended )
 Incomplete stone Fragmentation & Obstruction
 Stienstrasse ( stone street ) usually due to a
large  Leading fragment
( Stents Recommended prior to ESWL for
Calculi > 1.5 cm )
DESIGN BASIC LITHOTRIPSY
Renal Lithiasis Blood Pressure

Dallus Study)
First Follow Up Second Follow Up
1988 1990

of Hypertension of Hypertension
ESWL 771 2.5% 590 2.1%
non-ESWL 195 3.8% 155 1.6%
Total 966 745
Basic Principles of
SHOCK WAVE
Lithotripsy
FRAGMENTATION BY SHOCK
WAVES
ON COLLISION OF  SHOCK WAVES WITH
CALCULI-
 ON FRONT SURFACE  COMPRESIVE FORCES
 ON BACK SURFACE OF THE STONE-
REFLECTION OF COMPRESSION PULSE
CREATES NEGATIVE OR TENSILE WAVE THAT
TRAVEL BACK WARD THROUGH CALCULI
 ONCE TENSILE FORCE EXCEEDS  COHESIVE
STRENGTH OF CALCULI- FRAGMENTATION
OCCURS
ESWL  SPARK GAP/ EHL
 Electro-hydraulic Generator Located at Base of
Water Bath
 Produces Shock wave by Electric Spark Gap of
15,000 to 25,000 Volts Lasting 1 Sec
 High Voltage Spark Discharge Rapidly-
evaporates Water & Generators A Shock Wave
by expanding Sarrounding Liquid
Mechanism of Stone Fragmentation by ESWL
 On Front Surface  Compresive or positive Forces
 On Back Surface Of The Stone-
Reflection Of Compression Pulse Creates Negative
Or Tensile Wave That Travel Back Ward Through
Calculi
 Once Tensile Force Exceeds  Cohesive Strength
Of Calculi- Fragmentation Occurs
 Cavitation  Small air bubbles
Steinstrasse ( or Stone Street)  Post ESWL
Diet & Fluid Advice
 High Fluid Intake
 Restrict Salt (Na)
 Oxalate Restrict
 Avoid high intake of Purine food
 Increased citrus fruits may help
 If hypercalciuria restrict Ca intake
Role of Potassium Citrate in preventing Cal Oxalate stone ds  KCit lowers
urinary calcium whereas Na Citrate does not lower Calcium due to Sodium load
LIQUIDS
Moderate Amounts : High Amounts :
Apple Juice Cocoa
Beer Fresh Tea
Coffee
Cola
FOODS :
Almonds, Asparagus, Cashew Nuts, Currants, Greens,
Plums, Raspberries, Spinach
HIPPOCRATIC OATH :
I Will not cut, even for the stone, but leave such
procedures for the practitioners of the craft
