Renal Adverse Effects of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy
Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy is not a novel therapeutic method in the treatment of urolithiasis. It uses shock waves (SW) created in the generator outside of the body that are then focused and directed on the calculus in the patient’s body.

EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCK WAVE LITHOTRIPSY;
Background: Urolithiasis is a common ailment that costs billions of Dollars everyyear. Recurrent urinary tract obstruction or urolithiasis may stimulate the fibrogenic flow, whichis responsible for the definite functional loss of renal parenchyma. In the few past years, themanagement of urinary calculi undertook a remarkable modification.
