EAU Guidelines on the Assessment of Non-neurogenic Male Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms including Benign Prostatic Obstruction.

CONTEXT: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) represent one of the most common clinical complaints in adult men and have multifactorial aetio … tract in men with LUTS should be performed in patients with large PVR, haematuria, or a history of urolithiasis. Imaging of the prostate should be performed if this assists in choosing the appropriate drug and when considering surgical treatment. Urethrocystoscopy should only be performed in men with LUTS to exclude suspected bladder or urethral pathology and …

The role of hypercalciuria in a subgroup of dysfunctional voiding syndromes of childhood.

PURPOSE: Idiopathic hypercalciuria is believed to be the cause of a variety of urinary tract complaints in clinical pediatrics, including urinary frequency, urgency, and/or dysuria, often associated with gross or microscopic hematuria. In children noncalculous manifestations of idiopathic hypercalciuria are reportedly more common than urolithiasis. We determine the use of the calcium-to-creatinine ratio for the evaluation of different subsets of functional voiding disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 288 patients with functional voiding disorders during the last 8 ye…

Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB): A Novel Grading System for Encrusted Ureteral Stents.

OBJECTIVE: To introduce a grading system (kidney, ureter, and bladder [KUB]) to identify encrusted stents that may require multiple surgeries, multimodal surgery, and operative time > 180 minutes for successful removal. METHODS: One hundred ten retained encrusted ureteral stents were retrospectively scored using the KUB grading system and this score was correlated with operative time, need for multiple surgeries or multimodal surgery, and stone-free rate. Data analysis was performed with t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and chi-square tests. A P value of <0.05 was considered statistically signifi

Derivation of decision rules to predict clinically important outcomes in acute flank pain patients.

OBJECTIVE: Routine CT for patients with acute flank pain has not been shown to improve patient outcomes, and it may unnecessarily expose patients to radiation and increased costs. As preliminary steps toward the development of a guideline for selective CT, we sought to determine the prevalence of clinically important outcomes in patients with acute flank pain and derive preliminary decision rules. METHODS: We analyzed data from a randomized trial of CT vs. ultrasonography for patients with acute flank pain from 15 EDs between October 2011 and February 2013. Clinically important outcomes were

Kidney Transplant Outcomes in Patients With Adenine Phosphoribosyltransferase Deficiency.

Identifying predictors of failure in pediatric retrograde intrarenal surgery: Why stone volume matters.

INTRODUCTION: Pediatric urolithiasis is often associated with metabolic alterations and urinary malformations, leading to a higher risk of recurrence. Effective management requires minimally invasive procedures that achieve high stone-free rate (SFR). Identifying risk factors that affect SFR is essential for selecting the most suitable surgical approach for each patient. This study aims to identify variables associated with reduced SFR in pediatric patients undergoing RIRS to support pediatric urologists' clinical decision-making. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective study included patien…

Hyperoxaluria, hypocitraturia, hypomagnesiuria, and lack of intestinal colonization by Oxalobacter formigenes in a cervical spinal cord injury patient with suprapubic cystostomy, short bowel, and nephrolithiasis.

Although urolithiasis is common in spinal cord injury patients, it is presumed that the predisposing factors for urinary stones in spinal cord injury patients are immobilization-induced hypercalciuria in the initial period after spinal injury and, in later stages, urine infection by urease-producing micro-organisms, e.g., Proteus sp., which cause struvite stones. We describe a patient who sustained C-7 complete tetraplegia in a road traffic accident in 1970, when he was 16 years old. Left ureterolithotomy was performed in 1971 followed by left nephrectomy in 1972. Probably due to adhesions, th…

Exploring the effects of Citrus aurantifolia fruits peel essential oil, cultivated in Al-Hasa, in Methotrexate induced kidney and hepatic toxicities: Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking, and in vivo Experiments.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Ancient and medieval sources, particularly from Arabic and Mediterranean traditions, reported Citrus aurantifolia (Lime) as antidotes against poison, tonics for digestion, antibacterial and immunomodulatory effects. Moreover, its traditional use as a diuretic and antitoxic agent supports its ethnomedicinal relevance in managing renal ailments such as urolithiasis and toxin-induced nephropathies. Methotrexate (MTX) is consumed in several types of carcinomas. Still, numerous studies have stated MTX side effects, including kidney and liver damage. AIM OF THE STUDY…

A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Comparing the Efficacy of Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs, Opioids, and Paracetamol in the Treatment of Acute Renal Colic.

CONTEXT: Renal colic is a common, acute presentation of urolithiasis that requires immediate pain relief. European Association of Urology guidelines recommend nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as the preferred analgesia. However, the fear of NSAID adverse effects and the uncertainty about superior analgesic effect have maintained the practice of advocating intravenous opioids as the initial analgesia. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the safety and efficacy of NSAIDs with opioids and paracetamol (acetaminophen) for the management …
