Urinary Stones by Anonim Pdf

Although methods of urinary stone removal are becoming evermore effective, the prevalence of urolithiasis is continuously increasing. Epidemiological studies show that 5-10% of the population suffer from urinary stones. Stone removal alone is not a curative measure. Depending on the stone composition, a recurrence rate of 60-100% must be expected. Hence, analysis of the stone material and basic diagnosis of the metabolic origins of urolithiasis are imperative, as well as consistent recurrence prevention in high-risk patients.This revised and updated handbook meets these requirements. It is designed to assist clinicians and healthcare professionals by guiding them through the appropriate diagnostic examinations and the development of effective and safe plans for treatment and prevention. It takes the newest international and European guidelines for urinary stone therapy into account, and includes the latest findings in clinical and laboratory diagnosis, dietary therapy and medication. Furthermore, it offers specific solutions for the treatment of children. Its clear organization makes it a valuable and indispensable reference book, especially for urologists, nephrologists and pediatricians.

Kidney Stone Guide with Treatment and Prevention Tips by Kathy Thompson Pdf

If you have ever suffered from the pain of kidney stones and you want more information about exactly what is causing it ... and more importantly, how to get rid of them and help prevent it from happening again... ...or even just what your different treatment options are... ...then this book was written just for you. Here's the story: Totally and unexpectedly, I started getting horrible pains in my stomach. You know the feeling...the burning, the involuntary bending over. It's ten times worse than any stomach ache. The pain gets so bad you know that you got some serious issues going on... I tried aspirin, lying down, and cold ice packs. But Nothing Seemed To Help It got so bad I had to see a doctor. He told me I had kidney stones and they were still small and could be treated with prescription drugs. But I'm weary of prescription medications side effects and decided to hold off before I read more about the different medications. As it turns out, I found out that there were a lot of other options I could try first before using the prescription meds... most of them work to treat the symptoms (not the actual cause of your kidney stones) Plus, there can be side effects. All I am saying is... How I became a kidney stone expert Ok, I'm not really an expert-but I've done WAY more research on kidney stones than the average person. I started my research on the internet...And I spent a lot of time in the library looking through health books, magazines and articles... Not only did I discover a ton of information about how the body works and what causes kidney stones I also found out about all the different options to treat or prevent kidney stones. After pouring over hundreds of articles... reading tons of web sites... and flipping through a truck load of books I finally discovered a natural remedy that worked for me! Relief with this natural remedy was safe and extremely easy, and it's so SIMPLE that most people completely overlook it. After just a few weeks I was starting to feel relief... a few more and there was no pain at all... and in just months I visited my doctor again to hear the kidney stones had completely dissolved. After everything was better again, I realized something else. I had learned a LOT of information that could help other people who were suffering like me. So I compiled all my research and created the straight-to-the-point, simple guide I wish I could have found when I was looking for a solution to my kidney stone problems.

Urinary Stones by Albrecht Hesse,Hans-Göran Tiselius,Andrea Jahnen Pdf

Although methods of lithotripsy are effective in removing urinary stones, these methods can only treat the symptoms, not cure the disease. Depending on the nature of the stones, there is a recurrence rate of 60-100% if no follow-up measures are taken. With detailed knowledge of the causes of urinary stone formation, however, recurrences can largely be prevented. This handbook is designed to assist clinicians and health care professionals caring for patients with renal stones by guiding them through the appropriate diagnostic studies and the development of effective and safe plans for treatment and prevention. Its clear organization makes it simple to use as a reference work, and its practical value is enhanced by the outline format which facilitates the understanding of diagnostic studies and treatment plans. For the new edition all chapters have been revised in consideration of the authors own experiences, the results in the international literature and current European and international guidelines. Detailed tables for the relevant nutrients (calcium, uric acid, oxalate) of numerous foodstuffs and reference values for the urinary composition in children have been added. The authors have extensive experience in both urinary stone research and the development and practical application of therapeutic concepts. The close cooperation among physicians, clinical chemists, and nutritionists is a successful strategy in the prophylaxis of recurrent urinary stones.

Renal Stone Disease by Charles Y.C. Pak Pdf

CHARLES Y. c. PAK Major progress has been made in the pathophysiologic elucidation and management of nephrolithiasis during the past two decades. It is now possible to detect the cause of stone disease in more than 95% of patients, to prevent recurrent formation of stones in the majority of patients, and to remove most existing stones less invasively. The assumption of editorship of this book permits me to indulge in the discussion of this progress from my personal perspective. Three somewhat fortuitous events in my academic career dictated my directing major efforts in stone research. The first event occurred in 1963 when, after having completed medical training, I was faced with two years of military service as a participant of the Berry plan. Choices were limited and disconcerting for someone interested in a research career: a staff physician at a military installation or an indian reservation, or a member of a research team in a state penitentiary. An interesting article by Norman Gershfeld on phospholi pid monolayers prompted me to write him seeking a position in his laboratory of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD. Partly because of at the National Institutes my rudimentary exposure and publication in surface chemistry, I was offered a position as a staff scientist and a position in the Public Health Service which satisfied the requirements of a military service.

Treatment of Urolithiasis by M. Akimoto,E. Higashihara,H. Kumon,Z. Masaki,S. Orikasa Pdf

Urolithiasis is not only one of the most frequently encountered diseases at uro logical clinics; it is also the disorder whose treatment has shown the most rapid progress in the past decade. In that period, medicine has experienced a real revolution, characterized by minimally invasive treatments, improvement of the quality of life, and cost-effectiveness in treatment outcomes. In urology, the revolution started with the development of endoscopic retrograde treatment of urolithiasis in the upper urinary tract, which led to development of the percuta neous antegrade maneuver in the latter half of the 1970s. The most remarkable event occurred in 1982, when clinical use of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy was introduced by the Munich group, represented by Dr. Christian Chaussy, at the 18th Congress of the International Society of Urology in San Francisco. With the advent of these new strategies, open surgery for urolithiasis has all but dis appeared. Today, with the availability of new technology and equipment, guide lines for the treatment of urolithiasis have changed in all developed countries. It is quite timely that the Meeting of International Consultation on Urolithiasis will be held in Paris in June 2001 to establish international guidelines for urolithiasis. Looking through this textbook for urolithiasis, I was greatly impressed to learn that we have already drawn up some guidelines. The book includes all the updated advances of urolithiasis presented by the most prominent and experi enced urologists from all around the world.
