The document provides information on stone disease (urolithiasis). It summarizes that calcium oxalate is the most common type of kidney stone found in India, making up 86.1% of stones. Supersaturation of urine from dehydration is a key factor in stone formation. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is now the first-line treatment for the majority (80-85%) of stones, allowing them to be broken up without surgery. Complications of ESWL can include hematuria and incomplete stone fragmentation.

3. 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
4. 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

11. 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
12. 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
13. PHOSPHATE STONES
IN ALKALINE URINE
ENLARGES RAPIDLY
TAKE SHAPE OF CALYCES
STAGHORN
Struvite can form Stag-horn and appear like coffin lid under microscope
14. 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
15. 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
16. 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
17. 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
18. 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

32. 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
33. 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
34. 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)
35. 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.

1963-EXPERIMENTS WITH SHORT WAVES IN
W.GERMANY BY PHYSICISTS AT DONIER
SYSTEMS LTD
1980-DORNIER HUMAN MODEL ( HM-3)
LITHOTRIPTER ARRIVED ON MARKET
(STILL GOLD STANDARD WHEN COMPARING
RESULTS WITH NEW MEASUREMENTS
41. 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
43. ESWL & URETERIC CALCULI
For fragmentation fluid medium around
stone necessary
If stones impacted fragmentation may not
occur
PUSH & BANG-success Marginally
HIGHER THAN in situ ESWL
Trial of in situ ESWL first choice
In situ ESWL FAILS- Rescue procedure
44. 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 )
48. 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
49. 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
50. 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
52. 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
53. LIQUIDS
Moderate Amounts : High Amounts :
Apple Juice Cocoa
Beer Fresh Tea
Coffee
Cola
FOODS :
Almonds, Asparagus, Cashew Nuts, Currants, Greens,
Plums, Raspberries, Spinach
54. HIPPOCRATIC OATH :
I Will not cut, even for the stone, but leave such
procedures for the practitioners of the craft
