Immediate and long-term effects of extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) on urine enzymes were studied in 200 patients with nephrolithiasis (NL). The patients had abnormally high urine excretion of AP, GGT, APA, LDH and NAG, whereas aminotransferases excretion was low. Pathobiochemical and diagnostic implications of these findings are discussed. Immediately after its conduction ESWL entails a mild injury to tubular portion of the nephron. The causes of long-term stay of enzymuria after ESWL in NL patients are discussed.
