A questionnaire was administered to patients to collect demographic data and information on congenital anomalies, previous urinary stone, family history of urolithiasis and dietary habits. (who.int)
Exceeded only by urinary tract infe1
They are exceeded only by urinary tract infections and pathologic conditions of the prostate [1]. (who.int)
Congenital anomalies1
In childhood, it is due mainly to congenital anomalies of the urinary tract. (msdmanuals.com)
Urolithiasis2
Urinary tract stone disease is known in other names such as urolithiasis, urinary stones, ureteral stones, urinary calculi and urinary calculus disease. (barkleyandpaws.com)
This study was undertaken to determine urinary stone composition and prevalence of stone formers by age and sex among Iraqi patients, and to assess the contribution made by factors such as genetic traits, residence and dietary habits on the etiology of urolithiasis. (who.int)
Labrador Retrievers2
Problems related to bladder are common in Labrador Retrievers as well as other breeds. (barkleyandpaws.com)
But to some, the most common sign of bladder stones in Labrador Retrievers is blood in the urine. (barkleyandpaws.com)
Calcium oxalate1
Less frequently, bladder calculi are composed of calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, ammonium urate, cysteine, or magnesium ammonium phosphate (when associated with infection). (medscape.com)
Stasis2
[ 1 ] They are usually associated with urinary stasis but can form in healthy individuals without evidence of anatomic defects, strictures, infections, or foreign bodies. (medscape.com)
In women, voiding dysfunction and urinary stasis can occur but are less commonly associated with calculi. (medscape.com)
Tract infection3
We describe a case in whom initially a plain abdominopelvic radiography demonstrated calcified string of an IUD in a 42-year-old woman with recurrent lower urinary symptoms (LUTS) and urinary tract infection since 2 years earlier. (scirp.org)
We present this case in order to note that recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI), lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and unexpected pregnancy in a woman with history of missed IUD could be associated with transvesical migration of IUD and calculi formation. (scirp.org)
She referred to different clinics and doctors with these symptoms in the past 2 years and was treated medically for urinary tract infection (UTI) repeatedly. (scirp.org)
Urethra2
However, most renal stones that are small enough to pass through the ureters are also small enough to pass through a normally functioning bladder and an unobstructed urethra. (medscape.com)
Introduction to Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can be divided into upper tract infections, which involve the kidneys ( pyelonephritis), and lower tract infections, which involve the bladder ( cystitis), urethra. (msdmanuals.com)
Crystals4
Most vesical calculi formed de novo within the bladder, but some initially may have formed within the kidneys as a dissociated Randall plaque or on a sloughed papilla and subsequently passed into the bladder, where additional deposition of crystals causes the stone to grow. (medscape.com)
Urinary tract stone disease happens when urinary stone, medically referred to as urolith, forms as microscopic crystals precipitate in the urinary system. (barkleyandpaws.com)
At persistently low pH uric acid crystals can form and stabilise even with normal urinary urate concentration. (medscape.com)
Obstruction may occur at any level, from the renal tubules (casts, crystals) to the external urethral meatus. (msdmanuals.com)
Infection2
Cystic calculi often occurs in female dogs wherein the urinary tract bacterial infection within a bladder causes a shift in the urine pH, causing stones to form. (barkleyandpaws.com)
On the other hand, urethral calculi occurs in male dogs caused by infection in rare cases. (barkleyandpaws.com)
Renal3
Stones in the bladder may not threaten your dog's health but may lead to renal failure and pyelonephritis if not treated immediately. (barkleyandpaws.com)
Anatomical distribution of urinary stones was 67.4% renal, 12.5% ureteric and 14.6% bladder. (who.int)
67.4% renal, 12.5% ureteric and 14.6% bladder. (who.int)
Symptoms5
The bladder is an uncommon site of urinary tract calculi in most Western countries, but bladder stones result in specific symptoms and are a significant source of discomfort. (medscape.com)
Aggressive treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms with alpha-blockers and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors should further decrease the overall incidence of bladder stones by improving bladder emptying. (medscape.com)
Symptoms are those of bladder outlet obstruction-weak stream, hesitancy, urinary. (msdmanuals.com)
A 42-year-old woman para 3 with no history of abortion was referred to our hospital for investigation of recurrent lower abdominal pain, irritative lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and strangury which had begun in the last 2 years. (scirp.org)
About 2 years before her referral to our hospital, the patient had developed recurrent lower abdominal pain, irritative lower urinary tract symptoms including dysuria, nocturia, increased frequency of urination and strangury. (scirp.org)
Stones18
Bladder (vesical) calculi are stones or calcified materials that are present in the bladder (or in a bladder substitute that functions as a urinary reservoir). (medscape.com)
The presence of upper urinary tract calculi is not necessarily a predisposition to the formation of bladder stones. (medscape.com)
The incidence of bladder stones in children is slowly declining, even in endemic areas. (medscape.com)
Removal of bladder stones will continue to progress toward minimally invasive techniques, thus decreasing hospital stay and recovery times. (medscape.com)
In addition, continued aggressive management of neurogenic bladder , specifically in the pediatric population, may lead to a rise in both the incidence of struvite stones and the development of creative and minimally invasive surgical techniques for augmented bladders. (medscape.com)
In older men with bladder stones composed of uric acid, the stone most likely formed in the bladder. (medscape.com)
There are several types of bladder stones and these stones vary depending on their chemical make-up. (barkleyandpaws.com)
There are many reasons why dogs develop bladder stones. (barkleyandpaws.com)
Genes also play an important role in the development of urinary stones. (barkleyandpaws.com)
Some dogs with bladder stones may not show any sign of the disease. (barkleyandpaws.com)
Some bladder stones can be treated through oral medication. (barkleyandpaws.com)
In some cases, surgery may be needed to remove the stones within the bladder. (barkleyandpaws.com)
ABSTRACT Epidemiology and pathogenesis in urinary stones diagnosed in 184 patients were studied. (who.int)
Bacteria were isolated from 19 (24.4%) of 78 urinary stones: 14 were urea splitting and 5 non-urea splitting. (who.int)
Females had a greater chance of having infected stones. (who.int)
Urinary stones are the third most common affliction of the urinary tract. (who.int)
From December 2001 to September 2002, all 184 patients who were diagnosed by the urologist, or paediatrician in the case of children, as having urinary stones were included in this study. (who.int)
Informed consent was obtained from all participants, or the Urinary stones are the third most common parents in the case of children. (who.int)
Occur2
and meatal stenosis occur in both males and females. (msdmanuals.com)
In females, urethral obstruction may occur secondary to a primary or metastatic tumor or as a result of stricture formation after radiation therapy, surgery, or urologic instrumentation (usually repeated dilation). (msdmanuals.com)
Urine1
In 1817, it was pointed out that the alkalinization that attends putrefaction of urine unavoidably results in crystallization of dissolved urinary phosphate [2]. (who.int)
Patients1
[ 2 , 3 ] Perhaps surprisingly, patients with uric acid bladder calculi rarely ever have a documented history of gout or hyperuricemia . (medscape.com)
Diagnosis1
This article discusses the diagnosis and current management techniques for vesical calculus disease. (medscape.com)
Prostate1
ceeded only by urinary tract infections and A questionnaire was administered to pac pathologic conditions of the prostate [ 1 ]. (who.int)
Formation1
or calculus formation (which may also exacerbate or cause obstruction). (msdmanuals.com)
Stone disease1
Urinary tract stone disease could be treated easily if it is caused by diet problems. (barkleyandpaws.com)
Previous1
Typical anatomic findings include cystoceles, enteroceles, or sequelae of previous urethral surgery, all of which contribute to elevated residuals. (medscape.com)
Forms2
With rare exceptions, any foreign body that cannot escape the bladder becomes calcified and eventually forms a stone. (medscape.com)
The most common factors that promote uric acid stone formations are persistently low urinary pH, dehydration leading to low urinary volume, and high uric acid production. (medscape.com)
