Role of inflammatory markers in predicting spontaneous passage of ureteral stones less than 10 mm.

Kscien Organization, Sulaimani, Kurdistan.
Introduction: In ureterolithiasis, the prediction of spontaneous passage poses a challenge for urologists. Moreover, there is controversy surrounding the preferred management approach, whether medical or surgical, as each approach has its disadvantages. Procalcitonin and other inflammatory markers were studied for predicting stone passage spontaneously, but their significance remains controversial.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of tip-flexible suctioning ureteral access sheath (TFS-UAS) compared to traditional ureteral access sheath (T-UAS) in flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL) for unilateral upper urinary tract calculi.
Methods: The study retrospectively compared outcomes from 103 cases using TFS-UAS and 138 using T-UAS treated with FURL for unilateral upper urinary tract calculi from January to October 2023. Assessed parameters included patient demographics, stone characteristics, preoperative urine cultures, ureteral pre-stenting, comorbidities, procedure time, stone-free rate (SFR), utilization of stone retrieval baskets, and postoperative Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) rates.

Article Synopsis
- Minimally invasive treatments for upper urinary tract uroliths (kidney stones) are the standard in humans and this study explores their application in dogs.
- A total of 6 female dogs with various combinations of kidney and ureter stones were treated using dietary changes, antibiotics, and ureteral stenting, achieving significant urolith dissolution over several months.
- The results suggest that medical dissolution can be an effective strategy for treating struvite uroliths in dogs, potentially avoiding the need for more invasive surgical procedures.
Landscape of peripheral immunity in patients with upper urinary tract urolithiasis and the underlying correlations with renal function.

Department of Urology, Xinhua Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, 1665 Kongjiang Road, Yangpu, Shanghai, 200092, China.
Introduction: Inflammatory and immunological responses are reported involved in the pathogenesis and progression of obstructive nephropathy (ON). This study was designed to investigate the characteristics of peripheral immunity in patients with upper urinary tract urolithiasis and analyze the underlying associations with renal function.
Methods: Patients with unilateral upper urinary tract urolithiasis meeting the operation indications were prospectively enrolled.
