Antopol Goldman lesion: A case report.

Antopol Goldman lesion is a renal pelvis subepithelial hematoma or hemorrhage, a sporadic disease. Although the causes are not well established yet, multiple factors were linked. Radiology is the cornerstone for the diagnosis.

The effect of stone and patient characteristics in predicting extra-corporal shock wave lithotripsy success rate: A cross sectional study.

Introduction: We determine the effect of patient characteristics (age, sex, and body mass index BMI) and stone characteristics (density, location, and size) by non-contrast computed tomography of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder (CT-KUB) in predicting the success of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the treatment of kidney and ureteric stones. We present this study to further enrich the knowledge of physicians towards the effect of different patient characteristics upon predicting extra-corporal shock wave lithotripsy success rates.

Methods: We evaluated 155 patients who received ESWL for renal and ureteric stone measuring 3-20 mm (mm), over a 3-month period.
