Urinary Lithiasis Urinary Lithiasis
• The wide geographic variation in the incidence of lithiasis in childhood is related to:
– Climatic– Dietary
– Socioeconomic factors
• Approximately 7% of urinary calculi occur in children <16 yr of age.
22
Stone formationStone formation
• Approximately 75% of all stones contain calcium as a major constituent, and 60% are
composed of calcium oxalate• Most “spontaneous” stones are composed of
calcium, oxalate, or phosphate crystals(COP)– Others are due to uric acid, cystine,
ammonium crystals, or phosphate crystals, or a combination of these substances (UCAP)
33
Stone formation Stone formation (Cont.)(Cont.)
• The risk of stone formation increases in the presence of increasing concentrations of these
crystals and is reduced with increasing concentrations of inhibitors.
44
Stone formation Stone formation (Cont.)(Cont.)
• Renal calculi develop from crystals that form on the calyx and aggregate to form a
calculus
• Bladder calculi may be stones that formed in the kidney and traveled down the ureter, or
they can form primarily in the bladder.
55
Stone formation Stone formation (Cont.)(Cont.)
• Stone formation depends on four factors:
1. Matrix
2. Precipitation-crystallization
3. Epitaxy
4. Absence of inhibitors of stone formation in the urine
6
Stone formation Stone formation (Cont.)(Cont.)
1. Matrix– Is a mixture of protein , non-amino sugars,
glucosamine, water, and organic ash
– Makes up 2-9% of the dry weight of urinary stones
– Is arranged within the stones in organized concentric laminations
7
Stone formation Stone formation (Cont.)(Cont.)
2. Precipitation-crystallization– Refers to supersaturation of the urine
with specific ions composing the crystal.
– Crystals aggregate by chemical and electrical forces.
8
Stone formation Stone formation (Cont.)(Cont.)
Precipitation-crystallization (Cont.)(Cont.)
– Saturation of urine with respect to the ions increases:
• Rate of nucleation, crystal growth, and aggregation
• likelihood of stone formation and growth
9
Stone formation Stone formation (Cont.)(Cont.)
3. Epitaxy
– Refers to the aggregation of crystals of different composition but similar lattice
structure, thus forming stones of a heterogeneous nature.
– e.g. calcium oxalate and monosodium urate have similar structures and calcium
oxalate crystals can aggregate on a nucleus of monosodium urate crystals.

4. Inhibitors of stone formation
Urine contains inhibitors of stone formation,
including:
i. Citrate ii. Diphosphonate iii. Magnesium ion
11
Clinical ManifestationsClinical Manifestations
• Gross or microscopic hematuria • Severe abdominal or flank pain (renal colic)
( If the calculus is in the renal pelvis, calyx , or
ureter and causes obstruction)– Typically the pain radiates anteriorly to the
scrotum or labia.– Often the pain is intermittent
12
Clinical Manifestations Clinical Manifestations (Cont.)(Cont.)
• Irritative symptoms of dysuria, urgency, and frequency
(If the calculus is in the distal ureter)
• Asymptomatic.
(If the stone passes into the bladder)
13
Clinical Manifestations Clinical Manifestations (Cont.)(Cont.)
• Dysuria and difficulty voiding can result, particularly in boys.
(If the stone is in the urethra)
• Pass small amounts of gravel-like material. (Some children )
14
DiagnosisDiagnosis
• Approximately 90% of urinary calculi are calcified to some degree and
consequently are radiopaque on a plain abdominal film
– Struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) stones are radiopaque.
– Cystine, xanthine, and uric acid calculi may be radiolucent
15
DiagnosisDiagnosis (Cont.)(Cont.)
• Some children have nephrocalcinosis, (which is calcification of the renal tissue itself )
• Unenhanced spiral CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis is the most accurate study
( if a child with suspected renal colic)
– 96% sensitivity and specificity in: Delineating the number and location of calculi
Demonstrates whether the involved kidney is hydronephrotic
16
DiagnosisDiagnosis (Cont.)(Cont.)
• An alternative is to obtain a plain radiograph of the abdomen and pelvis
plus a renal ultrasonogram. • Any material that resembles a calculus
should be sent for analysis by a laboratory that specializes in identifying
the components of urinary calculi
17
Metabolic EvaluationMetabolic Evaluation
• A metabolic evaluation for the most common predisposing factors should be undertaken in all children with urolithiasis bearing in
mind that structural, infectious, and metabolic factors often coexist.
18
Metabolic Evaluation Metabolic Evaluation (Cont.)(Cont.)
• Laboratory tests suggested for evaluation of urolithiasis
19
I. Serum• Calcium • Electrolytes and anion gap
• Phosphorus • Creatinine• Uric acid • Alkaline phosphatase
Metabolic Metabolic EvaluationEvaluation(Cont.)(Cont.)
20
II . Urine
• Urinalysis • 24-hr collection for:
- Creatinine clearance
- Oxalate
- Calcium
- Uric acid
- Phosphate - Dibasic amino acids
• Urine culture
• Calcium / creatinine ratio
• Spot test for cystinuria
Metabolic Metabolic EvaluationEvaluation(Cont.)(Cont.)
• In children with hypercalciuria, further studies of :
- Calcium excretion - Dietary calcium restriction
- Calcium loading are necessary

•The most common metabolic abnormality in these patients is normocalcemic hypercalciuria
•Between 30% and 60% of children with calcium stones have hypercalciuria without
hypercalcemia.

2.Cystine Calculi2.Cystine Calculi
•Cystinuria accounts for 1% of renal calculi in children
•Rare autosomal recessive disorder
•Disorder of the epithelial cells of the renal tubule that prevents absorption of the 4 dibasic amino
acids (Cystine, Ornithine , Lysine, Arginine,) (COLA) and results in excessive urinary excretion
of these products.

3.Struvite Calculi 3.Struvite Calculi
•Magnesium ammonium phosphate •In the kidney, the calculi often have a staghorn
configuration, filling the calyces
•The calculi act as foreign bodies, causing:
- Obstruction - Perpetuating infection
- Causing gradual kidney damage

•Patients with struvite stones also can have metabolic abnormalities that predispose to
stone formation.
•These stones often are seen in children with neuropathic bladder dysfunction,
particularly those who have undergone an ileal conduit procedure

•Indinavir sulfate is a protease inhibitor approved for treating HIV infection.
•Up to 4% of patients acquire symptomatic nephrolithiasis.
•Most of the calculi are radiolucent and are composed of indinavir-based monohydrate, although calcium oxalate and/or phosphate
have been present in some.

•The most common causes are:
36
• Furosemide • Cortical necrosis
• Distal RTA • Hyperoxaluria
• Hyperparathyroidism • Prolonged immobilization
• Medullary sponge kidney • Cushing syndrome
• Hypophosphatemic rickets • Hyperuricosuria
• Sarcoidosis • Renal candidiasis
Treatment
• In a child with a renal or ureteral calculus, the decision whether to remove the stone
depends on:
- Location - Size
- Composition (if known)
- Obstruction and/or infection if is present.
37
Treatment (cont.)
• If the calculus does not pass or seems unlikely to pass or if there is associated urinary tract
infection, removal is necessary
• Lithotripsy of bladder, ureteral, and small renal pelvic calculi using the holmium laser
through a flexible or rigid ureteroscope is quite effective
38
Treatment (cont.)
• In children with hypercalciuriaIn children with hypercalciuria:
- Some reduction in calcium and sodium
intake is necessary
-Thiazide diuretics also reduce renal calcium
excretion.
-Addition of potassium citrate, an inhibitor
of calcium stones, with a dosage of
1-2 mEq/kg/24hr is beneficial.
39
Treatment (cont.)
• In patients with uric acid stones:In patients with uric acid stones:
- allopurinol is effective
• In patients with cystine stones:In patients with cystine stones:
- Alkalinization of urine with sodium
bicarbonate or sodium citrate is effective.• D- penicillamine, which is a chelating
agent that binds to cysteine or homocysteine, increasing the solubility of the product
40
Treatment (cont.)
• Treatment of type 1 RTATreatment of type 1 RTA
- - Involves:
*Correcting the metabolic acidosis
*Replacing lost potassium and sodium
• Treatment of primary hyperoxaluriaTreatment of primary hyperoxaluria
- - Involves:
* Liver transplantation * Kidney transplantation
