Calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) crystals are the primary constituent of most kidney stones, but urine proteins in stone matrix are believed to be critical elements for stone formation from these crystals. Recent data have shown that hundreds of proteins appear in the stone matrix with no explanation for inclusion of so many proteins. We have proposed a stone formation model with protein stimulat...... hiện toàn bộ

Our objective was to analyze and compare the associations between potential risk factors for nephrolithiasis and repeat stone surgery in male and female patients. We retrospectively analyzed 1970 patients who had stone surgery at our institution in the period from January 2009 to May 2017, were older than 18 years and had at least 12 months of postoperative follow-up. Our definition of surgical re...... hiện toàn bộ

Spinal cord injury patients are at increased risk of developing nephrolithiasis and may require percutaneous nephrolithotomy for treatment of large stone burdens. Our objective was to compare outcomes of PCNL in SCI patients as compared to a matched cohort of non-SCI patients. Data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Database for Florida and California were used to ide...... hiện toàn bộ
