Kidney stones have a prevalence rate of > 10% in some countries. There has been a significant increase in surgery to treat kidney stones over the last 10 years, and it is crucial that such techniques are as effective as possible, while limiting complications. A selection of kidney stones with different chemical and structural properties were subjec...

Oxalate is a small compound found in certain plant-derived foods and is a major component of calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stones. Individuals that consume oxalate enriched meals have an increased risk of forming urinary crystals, which are precursors to CaOx kidney stones. We previously reported that a single dietary oxalate load induces nanocryst...

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is the standard of care for removing large kidney stones (> 2 cm). Once the procedure is complete, different exiting strategies exist to manage the percutaneous tract opening, including placement of an external nephrostomy tube, placement of an internal ureteral stent, or no external or internal tube. The decision...

Kidney stone disease causes significant morbidity and increases health care utilization. In this work, we decipher the cellular and molecular niche of the human renal papilla in patients with calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone disease and healthy subjects. In addition to identifying cell types important in papillary physiology, we characterize collecting...

Introduction and Objective: Prior literature had demonstrated increased stone burden and higher rates of staged surgery in individuals of lower socioeconomic status (SES). Low SES individuals are more likely to experience delays in definitive stone surgery after initial presentation to the emergency department (ED) for kidney stones. This study aim...

Introduction: Outcomes after ultrasound-only percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), in which no fluoroscopy is used, are not well known. The goal of this study was to compare outcomes of ultrasound-only and fluoroscopy-directed PCNL. Materials and Methods: Prospectively collected data from the Registry for Stones of the Kidney and Ureter database wer...

ObjectiveTo further elucidate the relationship between low socioeconomic status (SES) and larger, more complex stones requiring staged surgical interventions. Specifically, we aimed to determine if underinsurance (Medicaid, Medicare, and self-pay insurance types) is associated with multiple surgeries within 1 year.MethodsWe performed a retrospectiv...

To compare the dusting efficiency and safety with basketing for treating renal stones ≤ 2 cm during flexible ureteroscopy (fURS). This study included 218 patients with renal stones ≤ 2 cm treated with fURS. Among them, 106 patients underwent dusting, and 112 patients underwent fragmentation with basket extraction. All patients were followed up for ...
