Article Synopsis
- This text indicates that there is a correction to an article identified by the DOI number 10.1016/j.ekir.2021.11.035.
- The correction aims to address inaccuracies or errors that were found in the original publication.
- Such corrections are important for maintaining the accuracy and integrity of academic literature.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to increased vascular calcification, and low levels of inorganic pyrophosphate, a natural inhibitor of calcification, have been found in hemodialysis patients.
- A mouse model was created to study CKD-related vascular calcification and the effects of oral pyrophosphate supplementation.
- The study found that oral pyrophosphate given for 6 months reduced vascular calcification in CKD-affected mice, suggesting it could be a potential preventive treatment for CKD patients.
Article Synopsis
- Uric acid (UA) stones are linked to health issues like obesity and diabetes, and occur due to acidic urine, which can be mitigated by alkalizing the urine.
- A study of 120 patients treated with potassium citrate showed high effectiveness in dissolving stones and preventing recurrences without surgery, using a method that reduced gastrointestinal side effects.
- The results indicated that 88% of patients experienced complete stone dissolution, with improved urinary factors and minimal side effects, suggesting that potassium citrate is a safe and effective treatment for UA stones with proper monitoring.
Objective: To evaluate long-term surgical and functional outcomes of cystinuric patients exclusively treated with Ureteroscopy (URS).
Methods: Data from patients treated for cystine stones at a single academic center were retrospectively analyzed. The management protocol consisted of (i) treating symptomatic or > 7 mm stones, (ii) multi-staged URS for voluminous stones, (iii) referring patients to a dedicated nephrological clinic.
Article Synopsis
- Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is often linked with high calcium levels, while normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NHPT) can be easily misdiagnosed.
- A study analyzed patients with hypercalciuric kidney stones to compare characteristics and prevalence of NHPT versus hypercalcemic hyperparathyroidism (HPHPT), revealing that NHPT accounts for 40% of PHPT cases.
- The results found no significant differences in parathyroid characteristics or stone composition between NHPT and HPHPT, but indicated that NHPT patients showed a stronger response to calcium loading, highlighting the importance of dynamic testing for accurate diagnosis.
