“Urolithiasis (Kidney Stone) Treatment”
註釋Lithiasis, also known as the formation of kidney stones, is a widespread urological disorder that affects millions of individuals globally. Kidney stones form when minerals accumulate in the kidneys or urinary tract and cannot be dissolved by urine. Various factors, including environmental, genetic, and dietary influences, can contribute to the growth and development of kidney stones. The clinical presentation of lithiasis varies from being asymptomatic to experiencing acute renal colic. Diagnosis typically involves using imaging studies and laboratory investigations to identify the stones' types and underlying causes. There are various management strategies available for kidney stones, ranging from conservative measures to more invasive interventions. This work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of lithiasis, covering its etiology, diagnosis, and management, with a focus on recent advances in research and clinical practice. Additionally, it explores the potential impact of lithiasis on patient outcomes and healthcare costs. A better understanding of lithiasis's pathophysiology and advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches have the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden associated with kidney stone disease.
