There are a few studies suggesting a relationship between celiac disease (CD) and kidney disease, but no study has investigated CD in patients with urolithiasis. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of CD in infants and children with urolithiasis. One hundred and eighty-seven infants and children (4 months-17 years) with urolithiasis, and 278 age- and sex-matched healthy children were included. CD was screened using tissue transglutaminase (tTG) immunoglobulin (Ig)A. Seropositive cases, whose parents gave consent, underwent upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy for duodenal biopsy. Seven (3.7%) among those with urolithiasis and one (0.3%) among controls were positive for tTG IgA (p=0.008). Six of the urolithiasis group and one from the control group underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Intestinal biopsy revealed Marsh-Oberhuber type 1 intestinal lesions in two children. The other five had normal histology. Biopsy-proven CD was detected in two (1%) children with urolithiasis. The prevalence of biopsy-proven CD among all cases was 0.4%. When children were evaluated with respect to age factor, it was found that seropositivity in children younger and older than two years was not different (4% vs. 3.6%; p=0.880). In this first study investigating CD prevalence in children with urolithiasis, we found a higher seropositivity for CD in children with urolithiasis compared to controls, but in terms of biopsy-proven CD, no difference was found.

Comparison of flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath with conventional ureteral access sheath for pediatric retrograde intrarenal surgery: a single-center propensity-matched analysis.

The flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath (FANS-UAS) has increasingly been recognized as a potential game changer for retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). While this innovative technology has demonstrated promising results in adult populations, there is a notable lack of evidence regarding its application in pediatric cases, particularly in comparison to conventional ureteral access sheaths (CUAS). This study aimed to perform a comparative analysis of pediatric kidney stone cases treated with RIRS using FANS-UAS and CUAS.

Background: The prevalence of pediatric urolithiasis has increased rapidly, leading to more emergency department (ED) visits across the United States.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine emergency care practices for children and adolescents with urinary stones and characteristics associated with management.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of the 2021 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample to identify pediatric patients (≤21 years) presenting to an ED in the United States with a primary diagnosis of urinary stone disease.

Objective: Evaluation of structural features and metabolic/biochemical abnormalities of the bone tissue and relevant regulation patterns in children, residing in the radiologically contaminated territories (RCT).
Materials And Methods: Children (n = 148) aged 7 to 18 years old were involved in the study. Bone mineral density (BMD) is given in 3 grades according to the mean square deviation values, namely Grade I - standard (n = 75),Grade II - reduced (n = 45) and Grade III - very low one (n = 28).
Intrauterine device (IUD) migration completely into the abdominal cavity and half into the bladder to form a stone: a case report and mini-review.

The intrauterine device (IUD) is an important and highly effective means of contraception. Migration of the IUD, post implantation, out of the uterus is an infrequent complication, and its subsequent migration into the urinary bladder with formation of secondary bladder calculi, is even more infrequently reported. The authors report a 51 year old woman who had had her last child delivered via cesarean section 16 years ago.

Objective: Uromodulin is the most abundant urinary protein in healthy subjects which under physiological conditions protects against kidney stone formation. Acid-base imbalances, especially states with acidic urine, increase the risk for uric acid and oxalate stones, but lower it for phosphate-containing stones. Whether habitual high acid loads and high dietary phosphorus intake (P-In) themselves may influence plasma uromodulin concentrations in the long-term is not known.
