PRESENTED BY: MOHAMMAD MASOOM PARWEZ
MODERATOR: DR. BHARATI PANDYA
INTRODUCTION
• 3rd most common pathology following UTI and prostate
• Prevalence – increasing
• Peak age – 4th to 6th decade
• M:F - 2:1
• Recurrence rate – as high as 50% in 5 years*
• Struvite stones – H.C.G. von Struve (Russian naturalist); previously
“guanite” (bat droppings)
• Ca oxalate dihydrate – “Weddellite” – resembles sea floor of Weddell
sea in Antarctica
PATHOGENESIS
• Physical and chemical properties of urine
• Supersaturation of urine with solutes
• Depletion of stone inhibitors (citrate, phosphate, magnesium)
Risk factors
• Crystalluria:
• Ca oxalate dihydrate: bipyramids
• Ca oxalate monohydrate: biconcave oval/ dumbbell
• Cystine crystals: hexagonal
• Struvite: coffin lids
• CaHPO4 brushite stones: splinter like
• Ca apatite and uric acid crystals: amorphous powder
• Socioeconomic status:
• More common in affluent, industrialized countries
Risk factors
• Diet:
• High saturated and unsaturated fatty acids
• High animal protein and sugar
• Less dietary fiber, vegetable protein and unrefined carbs
• High dietary sodium
• Fluid intake and urine output
• Occupation:
• Sedentary lifestyles
• Climate:
• Hot climate- dehydration- more UV light – more vit D3 production
Risk factors
• Family history:
• Positive family history: twice likely to have stone

ETIOLOGY
• Poly-crystalline aggregates of crystalloid and organic matrix
• Super-saturated urine – depends on urinary pH, ionic strength, solute
concentration and complexation
• Crystal inhibitors like magnesium, citrate and pyrophosphate inhibits
active crystal growth
THEORIES
• Nucleation theory – stones originate from crystals / foreign bodies
immersed in supersaturated urine
• Crystal inhibitor theory – stones formed due to absence or low
concentration of inhibitors
ETIOLOGY
Crystal stones –
• Nucleation –
• initiates the stone process
• induced by proteinaceous matrix, crystals and foreign bodies
• heterogenous nucleation requires less energy and may occur in less saturated
urine
• Crystals of one type serve as a nidus for another crystal with similar lattice,
eg: uric acid crystals initiating ca oxalate formation
• Growth
• Aggregation
ETIOLOGY
• THEORY OF MASS PRECIPITATION:
• Suggests that collecting tubules become plugged with crystals – stasis –
further stone growth
• FIXED PARTICLE THEORY:
• Formed crystals are retained within cells or beneath tubular epithelium
ETIOLOGY
• Matrix stones:
• non crystalline, matrix component of urinary stones comprises predominantly
of protein, with small amounts of hexose and hexosamine
• Associated with previous kidney surgery or chronic UTI; gelatinous texture
• Histology: laminations with scant calcifications
• Radiolucent on x rays
• NCCT reveals calcifications
• Serves as nidus for crystal aggregation
STONE VARIETIES
• Calcium:
• 80-85% of all stones
• Causes – elevated urinary calcium,
elevated urinary uric acid, elevated urinary
oxalate, decreased urinary citrate
• Symptoms develop secondary to
obstruction with resultant pain, infection,
nausea and vomiting
• Nephrocalcinosis – calcification of renal
parenchyma; frequently found in RTA and
hyperparathyroidism Ca Oxalate “mulberry stone”
STONE VARIETIES
Calcium:
• Absorptive hypercalciuric nephrolithiasis
• Secondary to increased calcium absorption from the small bowel- increased
load of calcium filtered from the glomerulus – suppression of PTH –
decreased tubular reabsorption of calcium – hypercalciuria (>4mg/kg)
• Resorptive hypercalciuric nephrolithiasis
• 10% of patients with obvious primary hyperparathyroidism
• Commonly seen in women
• Hypercalcemia with elevated PTH – diagnostic
• Treatment – surgical removal of adenoma
STONE VARIETIES
Calcium:
• Renal induced hypercalcemia
• Intrinsic renal tubular defect of calcium excretion
• Hyperuricosuric calcium nephrolithiasis
• Hyperoxalouric calcium nephrolithiasis
• Hypocitrate calcium nephrolithiasis
STONE VARIETIES
Struvite:
• Composed of Magnesium ammonium phosphate
• Commonly in women
• Presents as renal staghorn
• Infection stones due to urea splitting organisms like Proteus,
Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus and Mycoplasma
• Alkaline urinary pH due to high ammonium concentration
• m/m: culture specific antibiotics; removal of catheters
UROLITHIASIS.pptx
STONE VARIETIES
Uric Acid:
• <5% of all calculi
• Common in men
• Patients with gout, myeloproliferative disease, rapid weight loss,
cytotoxic drug therapy have increased incidence
• Elevated urinary uric acid due to dehydration and excessive purine
intake
• Acidic urine pH<5.5
• Treatment – hydration, alkalinisation, restricting dietary purines,
Allopurinol
STONE VARIETIES
Cystine:
• Inborn error of amino acid metabolism including cystine, ornithine,
lysine, arginine
• Genetic defect chromosome 2p
• Classic cystinuria – AR inheritance
• 1-2% of all stones
• Peak incidence – 2nd or 3rd decade
STONE VARIETIES
• Family history of urinary stones
• X-ray – faintly opaque ground
glass, smooth edged stone
• Amber coloured stones with
hexagonal crystals
• m/m: high fluid intake, urinary
alkalinisation, low methionine
diet, penicillamine oral doses
STONE VARIETIES
Xanthine:
• Congenital deficiency of xanthine dehydrogenase
• Serum uric acid is low, hypoxanthine and
xanthine is high
• Stones are radiolucent, with tannish yellow color
• m/m: high fluid intake, urinary alkalinization
STONE VARIETIES
Indinavir:
• Protease inhibitor
• Radiolucent stones (6% of patients on drug)
• Only stone radiolucent on NCCT

• Triamterene: radiolucent, antihypertensive containing the drug;
discontinue medication
Clinical features
Pain
• Renal colic –
• stretching of collecting system/ureter
• Relatively constant, implies intraluminal origin
• Non colicky renal pain: distension of renal capsule
• Renal calculi – pain due to local mechanisms (inflammation, edema,
hyperperistalsis, mucosal irritation)
• Ureter: pain referred to ilio-inguinal and genital branch of
genitofemoral nerve
• Renal: flank and costovertebral angle
UROLITHIASIS.pptx
Clinical features
Hematuria
• Intermittent gross hematuria / occasional tea coloured urine
Infection
• Struvite stones common in infection
• Calcium phosphate stones
Fever
• Signs of urosepsis: fever, tachycardia, hypotension, cutaneous
vasodilatation
Nausea and Vomiting
Evaluation
History
• Nature of pain, onset, character, potential radiation
• Associated nausea, vomiting, gross hematuria
• h/o similar pain
• h/o medication
• Family history
• Diet
Evaluation
Physical examination:
• Acute renal colic – severe pain, attempting to find relief in multiple,
bizarre positions
• Tachycardia, sweating, and nausea
• Costovertebral angle tenderness
• Abdominal mass – long standing obstructive uropathy
Investigations
STONE WORK-UP
• To asses renal function and metabolic risk factors for stone formation
• Blood tests:
• Serum electrolytes and Serum Creatinine
• Serum Calcium
• Serum Uric acid
• Serum Phosphorus
• 24 hrs. urine collection for
• pH Creatinine
• Calcium Phosphorus and
• Oxalate Magnesium
• Uric acid Sodium
• Citrate Total volume
• Stone Analysis
Evaluation
Diagnosis :
Initial evaluation
• Urinalysis
• Urine culture
• Plain x-ray of KUB.
• Renal Ultrasound demonstrates the stone along with any hydronephrosis if present.
• Intravenous pyelography
• Axial spiral CT confirms the calculus, and demonstrates the exact degree of obstruction.
UROLITHIASIS.pptx
Urinalysis
• Gross or microscopic hematuria.
• Pyuria, may accompany
obstruction even in the absence
of identifiable infecting
organisms.
• Severe pyuria is present,
infection should be considered
(especially in a female), since the
stones may be secondary to
infection.
A x ray KUB showing stones in rt kidney
A USG showing acoustic shadow produced by
kidney stone
Intravenous pyelography
• Excretory pyelography –
information about function of
kidney and location of stone
• Contra-indicatons -
• allergy to contrast media
• S-creatinine level > 200 µmol/L
• On medication with metformin
Non-contrast CT
• Advantages: fast and non invasive, gives accurate location of stone
• Disadvantages: specificity/sensitivity low for other pathologies (AAA,
appendicitis)
• Does not evaluate renal function or degree of obstruction
CT Urography
• Advantages: Renal function
• Disadvantages: uses Renal contrast media ( allergy, nephrotoxic)
• - Normal BUN, Creatinine require before RCM
• - Metformin & RCM severe Lactic acidosis, nephrotoxicity
• -False negative if stone small, radiolucent, partially obstructing, or
passes into bladder before contrast passed by kidneys
Cystoscopy
Cystoscopy shows swelling of the
ureter orifice in lower location of
the stone, it may also partially
project out to the orifice.
STONES OF THE URINARY TRACT
• Treatment :
• Depends on size, location, degree of obstruction and patients clinical status
• Patients with infection or high grade obstruction require prompt intervention in
the form of retrograde ureteral catheter or percutaneous nephrostomy drainage
• About 90% of ureteral calculi measuring less than 4 mm pass spontaneously
whereas only 20% of calculi measuring more than 6 mm pass
• Expectant treatment is indicated in asymptomatic, non obstructed, non infective
with stone size less than 4 mm diameter in the lower third of ureter
STONES OF THE URINARY TRACT
• Drink copious amount of water, four to six weeks duration is allowed for passage
of stone
• Stone extraction is indicated for uretral stones that do not pass spontaneously
• Small stones may be grasped directly or engaged in stone basket and extracted
• Larger stones may be fragmented using
• ultrasound
• electrohydraulic
• pneumatic
• laser lithotripsy
STONES OF THE URINARY TRACT
• Shock wave lithotripsy : ureteral stones less than 8 mm diameter
• it may be performed with or without a stent as long as stone can be adequately visualised
• Ureterolithotomy is rarely needed given the high success rate of non- operative
and minimally invasive technique like SWL, ureteroscopy and laparoscopy
Pain relief during acute colic-
• Pain relief involves the administration by various routes of the
following agents:
• Diclofenac sodium
• Drotaverine
• Hydromorphone hydrochloride + atropine sulphate
• Tramadol
• OTHER MEDICATIONS-
• Tamsulosin increases peristalsis of ureter
• Phosphodiesterase inhibitors- Dutasteride
Pain relief
• Not responding to analgesics:
drainage by stenting or
percutaneous nephrostomy (PN) or
stone removal should be carried out
Management
• Average time to pass stone varies (7-20 days)
• Long acting CCB (Nifedipine) and steroids may enhance passage
• F/U Urology in 7 days
• Stone saved/submitted to urologist for analysis.
• Return immediately if intractable, severe pain, persistent nausea and
vomiting, fever and chills
Indications for Admission
• Obstruction with infection
• Persistent pain
• Persistent nausea and vomiting
• Urinary extravasation
• Hypercalcemic crisis
Indications of surgery
• Frequent attacks of the renal colic or persistent pain that disables the patient
• Obstruction - hydronephrotic degeneration of the kidney
• Obstructive anuria
• Frequent attacks of the acute pyelonephritis
• Gross hematuria
• Calculous pyonephrosis
• Stone in the ureter of the sole kidney that won’t pass away spontaneously
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy
• An extracorporeal noninvasive
technique that uses shock waves to
disintegrate urinary calculi while the
patient is immersed in a water bath
• With this technique, calculi in the
upper urinary tract are reduced to
fragments, which pass spontaneously
from the collecting system and
bladder in most patients
ESWL
Steinstrasse (Stone street) - post ESWL
ENDOSCOPIC PROCEDURES
• Cystoscopic technique
stones in the distal ureter and
bladder can sometimes be
removed with a wire stone
basket.Removal of bladder stones
termed as cystolitholapexy
• Ureteropyeloscopy
With this technique, small stones
can be easily trapped in a stone
basket and safely extracted through
the dilated ureter
Percutaneous nephrostomy
• This technique, along with refinements in
endoscopic instruments and advances in
fiberoptics, allows endoscopic manipulation
in the upper urinary tract by the
percutaneous approach
Laparoscopic procedures
• Pyelolithotomy done for pelvic stones and
lap ureterolithotomy done for mid ureteral
stones
Open Surgical Procedures
• Pyelolithotomy: Simple pyelolithotomy
is used for removal of calculi confined
to the renal pelvis
- This procedure is not indicated for the
removal of entrapped caliceal stones or
large, branched renal calculi
Open Surgical Procedures
• Ureterolithotomy-
-There are retroperitoneal,
transperitoneal and combined
surgical accesses. It depends on
stone location
Open Surgical Procedures
Complications
• Ureteral scarring and stenosis
• Nidus for infection
• Serious infection of the kidney that diminishes renal function
• Urinary fistula formation
• Ureteral perforation
• Extravasation
• Urinary outflow obstruction
• Hydronephrosis
• CRF

STONE WORK-UP • To asses renal function and metabolic risk factors for stone formation • Blood tests: • Serum electrolytes and Serum Creatinine • Serum Calcium • Serum Uric acid • Serum Phosphorus • 24 hrs. urine collection for • pH Creatinine • Calcium Phosphorus and • Oxalate Magnesium • Uric acid Sodium • Citrate Total volume • Stone Analysis
  • 33. Evaluation Diagnosis : Initial evaluation • Urinalysis • Urine culture • Plain x-ray of KUB. • Renal Ultrasound demonstrates the stone along with any hydronephrosis if present. • Intravenous pyelography • Axial spiral CT confirms the calculus, and demonstrates the exact degree of obstruction.
  • 35. Urinalysis • Gross or microscopic hematuria. • Pyuria, may accompany obstruction even in the absence of identifiable infecting organisms. • Severe pyuria is present, infection should be considered (especially in a female), since the stones may be secondary to infection.
  • 36. A x ray KUB showing stones in rt kidney
  • 37. A USG showing acoustic shadow produced by kidney stone
  • 38. Intravenous pyelography • Excretory pyelography – information about function of kidney and location of stone • Contra-indicatons - • allergy to contrast media • S-creatinine level > 200 µmol/L • On medication with metformin
  • 39. Non-contrast CT • Advantages: fast and non invasive, gives accurate location of stone • Disadvantages: specificity/sensitivity low for other pathologies (AAA, appendicitis) • Does not evaluate renal function or degree of obstruction
  • 40. CT Urography • Advantages: Renal function • Disadvantages: uses Renal contrast media ( allergy, nephrotoxic) • - Normal BUN, Creatinine require before RCM • - Metformin & RCM severe Lactic acidosis, nephrotoxicity • -False negative if stone small, radiolucent, partially obstructing, or passes into bladder before contrast passed by kidneys
  • 41. Cystoscopy Cystoscopy shows swelling of the ureter orifice in lower location of the stone, it may also partially project out to the orifice.
  • 42. STONES OF THE URINARY TRACT • Treatment : • Depends on size, location, degree of obstruction and patients clinical status • Patients with infection or high grade obstruction require prompt intervention in the form of retrograde ureteral catheter or percutaneous nephrostomy drainage • About 90% of ureteral calculi measuring less than 4 mm pass spontaneously whereas only 20% of calculi measuring more than 6 mm pass • Expectant treatment is indicated in asymptomatic, non obstructed, non infective with stone size less than 4 mm diameter in the lower third of ureter
  • 43. STONES OF THE URINARY TRACT • Drink copious amount of water, four to six weeks duration is allowed for passage of stone • Stone extraction is indicated for uretral stones that do not pass spontaneously • Small stones may be grasped directly or engaged in stone basket and extracted • Larger stones may be fragmented using • ultrasound • electrohydraulic • pneumatic • laser lithotripsy
  • 44. STONES OF THE URINARY TRACT • Shock wave lithotripsy : ureteral stones less than 8 mm diameter • it may be performed with or without a stent as long as stone can be adequately visualised • Ureterolithotomy is rarely needed given the high success rate of non- operative and minimally invasive technique like SWL, ureteroscopy and laparoscopy
  • 45. Pain relief during acute colic- • Pain relief involves the administration by various routes of the following agents: • Diclofenac sodium • Drotaverine • Hydromorphone hydrochloride + atropine sulphate • Tramadol • OTHER MEDICATIONS- • Tamsulosin increases peristalsis of ureter • Phosphodiesterase inhibitors- Dutasteride
  • 46. Pain relief • Not responding to analgesics: drainage by stenting or percutaneous nephrostomy (PN) or stone removal should be carried out
  • 47. Management • Average time to pass stone varies (7-20 days) • Long acting CCB (Nifedipine) and steroids may enhance passage • F/U Urology in 7 days • Stone saved/submitted to urologist for analysis. • Return immediately if intractable, severe pain, persistent nausea and vomiting, fever and chills
  • 48. Indications for Admission • Obstruction with infection • Persistent pain • Persistent nausea and vomiting • Urinary extravasation • Hypercalcemic crisis
  • 49. Indications of surgery • Frequent attacks of the renal colic or persistent pain that disables the patient • Obstruction - hydronephrotic degeneration of the kidney • Obstructive anuria • Frequent attacks of the acute pyelonephritis • Gross hematuria • Calculous pyonephrosis • Stone in the ureter of the sole kidney that won’t pass away spontaneously
  • 50. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy • An extracorporeal noninvasive technique that uses shock waves to disintegrate urinary calculi while the patient is immersed in a water bath • With this technique, calculi in the upper urinary tract are reduced to fragments, which pass spontaneously from the collecting system and bladder in most patients
  • 51. ESWL
  • 53. ENDOSCOPIC PROCEDURES • Cystoscopic technique stones in the distal ureter and bladder can sometimes be removed with a wire stone basket.Removal of bladder stones termed as cystolitholapexy • Ureteropyeloscopy With this technique, small stones can be easily trapped in a stone basket and safely extracted through the dilated ureter
  • 54. Percutaneous nephrostomy • This technique, along with refinements in endoscopic instruments and advances in fiberoptics, allows endoscopic manipulation in the upper urinary tract by the percutaneous approach Laparoscopic procedures • Pyelolithotomy done for pelvic stones and lap ureterolithotomy done for mid ureteral stones
  • 55. Open Surgical Procedures • Pyelolithotomy: Simple pyelolithotomy is used for removal of calculi confined to the renal pelvis - This procedure is not indicated for the removal of entrapped caliceal stones or large, branched renal calculi
  • 56. Open Surgical Procedures • Ureterolithotomy- -There are retroperitoneal, transperitoneal and combined surgical accesses. It depends on stone location
  • 58. Complications • Ureteral scarring and stenosis • Nidus for infection • Serious infection of the kidney that diminishes renal function • Urinary fistula formation • Ureteral perforation • Extravasation • Urinary outflow obstruction • Hydronephrosis • CRF

Editor's Notes

  • #3: 5% risk in 1994, 9% risk in 2010 * - without follow up and medical intervention
  • #6: Avg urine output in stone formers: 1.6L/day
  • #11: pH – acidic in morning, alkaline after meals Ionic strength – concentration of monovalent ions Solute concentration – above solubility product-metastable urine leading to crystal formation and heterogenous nucleation Complexation - Tendency to form complexes with ions
  • #12: Nucleation – in 1/3rd patients, 24hr urine collection is completely normal Crystal inhibitor – some people have abundance of inhibitors with stones, some have no inhibitors and still have no stones
  • #16: Renal tubular acidosis
  • #27: Stone burden does not correlate with severity of symptoms
