This chapter summarizes the variety of ways in which kidney stones can present, clinical findings in patients with renal stones, and the diagnostic tests used to identify them. Plain radiography remains a good way of identifying renal stones if calcified, will identify cysteine stones which are relatively radiolucent, but cannot ‘see’ non-calcium ...

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2019
Renal colic is a common complaint that presents to the emergency department. It is estimated that 13% of men and 7% of women will develop a renal stone. There is a high probability of recurrence, with 50% within 5 years. Computed tomographic scan of the abdomen and pelvis without contrast and the ultrasound of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder are the ...

Medical Hypotheses, 1991
Although many risk factors and theories exist in the literature for urinary stone formation, a hypothesis is suggested for the pathogenesis of renal stones. According to the matrix theory, a protein such as uromucoid activates the initial crystallisation process by promoting the formation of calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate crystals as well as ...

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1994
The emergency department can be a scary place, at least to a patient. I work there. To me, it is home, a place where people speak my language, where I can talk freely about what my job is like because others understand. But even for me, being a patient in the ED is no fun. I had been having a vague ache in my pelvis for several months.

To the Editor.— The appearance of deposits of triamterene in kidney stones is now widely recognized (1980; 244:2443 and 1981;245:2494). 1-4 We previously reported 2 that 0.4% of all kidney stones analyzed showed some deposits of this drug. We estimated the annual incidence of triamterenecontaining stones to be 1/2,000 users of a mixture of triamterene

Why analyze kidney stones? This is more than an academic question, for the answer may help the physician identify the source of the stone. A calcium stone (about 90 percent of stones contain calcium) often signifies hypercalcemia; uric acid stone, accelerated nucleic acid breakdown; triple phosphate stone, urinary tract infection; and cystine or ...
