The Outcomes of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy for High-Density Renal Stone on Non-Contrast Computed Tomography.

Introduction Urinary lithiasis is usually managed by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Patients are examined using non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) in order to evaluate the feasibility of ESWL, according to where the stone is located and how big is its size. The objective of this study is to determine the outcomes of ESWL in patients having high-density renal stone, evaluated using NCCT.

The Pattern of Dyslipidemia in Chronic Liver Disease Patients.

Introduction Patients with chronic liver disease are expected to report derangements in serum lipid profiles. Lipid profile monitoring is not a part of the routine management of these patients in our hospital. Few recent studies show how lipid profile varies with the severity of disease and should be considered in the management planning of such patients.
