Introduction: Urinary calculi constitute a significant medical problem worldwide. Due to lack of previous studies on gender and side distribution of urinary calculi, the current study was conducted.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study involved 590 urinary calculi from the electronic reports of 266 patients. Gender and side distribution were compared using Chi-square test. Relationship between gender and side of urinary calculi was analyzed using cross tabulation test.
Results: This study involved 590 urinary calculi reported in 266 patients. Among 590 calculi; 565 (95.8%) were in adults, and 25 (4.2%) were in children. Urinary calculi were in male in 397 (67.3%) and in female in 193 (32.7%). Calculi were 304 (51.5%) in right side, and 286 (48.5%) in left side. Exactly 507 (85.9%) of calculi were in the kidneys, and 83 (14.1%) in the ureters. No significant relationship between gender and side of the calculi ( = 0.238), (Odds ratio 0.869, 95% Confidence interval 0.615-1.226).
Conclusion: Urinary calculi affect male more than female and adults more than children. No significant relationship between calculi and right or left side of the body.

The Department of Clinical Laboratory, Zhejiang Hospital, Hangzhou, China.
Rationale: Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a rare hereditary electrolyte disorder caused by mutations in the SLC12A3 gene. There is limited literature on the role of hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) testing and the SLC12A3 single heterozygous mutation in the diagnosis and management of patients with GS. In addition, cases of GS with concomitant kidney stones are rare.

BACKGROUND Emphysematous urinary tract infections are rare and serious conditions that are often multifactorial in etiology and may be associated with the presence of renal stones. Diagnosis can be made by finding gas within the renal collecting system or parenchyma. However, the radiographic finding of gas within a renal stone is rare and little has been published to describe the significance of this finding, its promoting factors, and management.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a widely preferred method for treating complex kidney stones, particularly in patients with larger or more complicated stones. Despite its advantages, such as minimal invasiveness and a shorter recovery time, postoperative complications can occur, thereby necessitating effective risk assessment tools to identify at-risk patients. This study evaluated the Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) scoring system's utility in predicting postoperative complications following standard PCNL.

Purpose: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) as an established procedure for treatment of large kidney stones, can trigger life threatening complications. Postoperative hemorrhaging is one of the main complications of PCNL. This study investigates the effectiveness of balloon nephrostomy in reducing hemorrhage in the postoperative phase of PCNL.
