Urinary LithiasisUrinary Lithiasis
• The wide geographic variation in the
incidence of lithiasis in childhood is related to:
– Climatic
– Dietary
– Socioeconomic
factors
• Approximately 7% of urinary calculi occur
in children <16 yr of age.
22
Stone formationStone formation
• Approximately 75% of all stones contain
calcium as a major constituent, and 60% are
composed of calcium oxalate
• Most “spontaneous” stones are composed of
calcium, oxalate, or phosphate crystals(COP)
– Others are due to uric acid, cystine,
ammonium crystals, or phosphate crystals, or
a combination of these substances (UCAP)
33
Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.)
• The risk of stone formation increases in the
presence of increasing concentrations of these
crystals and is reduced with increasing
concentrations of inhibitors.
44
Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.)
• Renal calculi develop from crystals that
form on the calyx and aggregate to form a
calculus
• Bladder calculi may be stones that formed
in the kidney and traveled down the ureter, or
they can form primarily in the bladder.
55
Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.)
• Stone formation depends on four factors:
1. Matrix
2. Precipitation-crystallization
3. Epitaxy
4. Absence of inhibitors of stone formation in
the urine
6
Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.)
1. Matrix
– Is a mixture of protein , non-amino sugars,
glucosamine, water, and organic ash
– Makes up 2-9% of the dry weight of
urinary stones
– Is arranged within the stones in organized
concentric laminations
7
Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.)
2. Precipitation-crystallization
– Refers to supersaturation of the urine
with specific ions composing the crystal.
– Crystals aggregate by chemical and
electrical forces.
8
Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.)
Precipitation-crystallization (Cont.)(Cont.)
– Saturation of urine with respect to the ions
increases:
• Rate of nucleation, crystal growth, and
aggregation
• likelihood of stone formation and growth
9
Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.)
3. Epitaxy
– Refers to the aggregation of crystals of
different composition but similar
lattice structure, thus forming stones of a
heterogeneous nature.
– e.g. calcium oxalate and monosodium
urate have similar structures and calcium
oxalate crystals can aggregate on a nucleus of
monosodium urate crystals.
10
Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.)
4. Inhibitors of stone formation
Urine contains inhibitors of stone formation,
including:
i. Citrate
ii. Diphosphonate
iii. Magnesium ion
11
Clinical ManifestationsClinical Manifestations
• Gross or microscopic hematuria
• Severe abdominal or flank pain (renal
colic)
( If the calculus is in the renal pelvis, calyx , or
ureter and causes obstruction)
– Typically the pain radiates anteriorly to the
scrotum or labia.
– Often the pain is intermittent
12
Clinical ManifestationsClinical Manifestations
(Cont.)(Cont.)
• Irritative symptoms of dysuria, urgency,
and frequency
(If the calculus is in the distal ureter)
• Asymptomatic.
(If the stone passes into the bladder)
13
Clinical ManifestationsClinical Manifestations
(Cont.)(Cont.)
• Dysuria and difficulty voiding can result,
particularly in boys.
(If the stone is in the urethra)
• Pass small amounts of gravel-like material.
(Some children )
14
DiagnosisDiagnosis
• Approximately 90% of urinary calculi are
calcified to some degree and
consequently are radiopaque on a plain
abdominal film
– Struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate)
stones are radiopaque.
– Cystine, xanthine, and uric acid calculi may
be radiolucent
15
DiagnosisDiagnosis (Cont.)(Cont.)
• Some children have nephrocalcinosis,
(which is calcification of the renal tissue itself )
• Unenhanced spiral CT scan of the
abdomen and pelvis is the most accurate study
( if a child with suspected renal colic)
– 96% sensitivity and specificity in:
Delineating the number and location of calculi
Demonstrates whether the involved kidney is hydronephrotic
16
DiagnosisDiagnosis (Cont.)(Cont.)
• An alternative is to obtain a plain
radiograph of the abdomen and pelvis
plus a renal ultrasonogram.
• Any material that resembles a calculus
should be sent for analysis by a
laboratory that specializes in identifying
the components of urinary calculi
17
Metabolic EvaluationMetabolic Evaluation
• A metabolic evaluation for the most common
predisposing factors should be undertaken in
all children with urolithiasis bearing in
mind that structural, infectious, and metabolic
factors often coexist.
18
Metabolic EvaluationMetabolic Evaluation (Cont.)(Cont.)
• Laboratory tests suggested for
evaluation of urolithiasis
19
I. Serum
• Calcium • Electrolytes and anion gap
• Phosphorus • Creatinine
• Uric acid • Alkaline phosphatase
Metabolic EvaluationMetabolic Evaluation(Cont.)(Cont.) 20
II . Urine
• Urinalysis • 24-hr collection for:
- Creatinine clearance
- Oxalate
- Calcium
- Uric acid
- Phosphate
- Dibasic amino acids
• Urine culture
• Calcium / creatinine
ratio
• Spot test for cystinuria
Metabolic EvaluationMetabolic Evaluation(Cont.)(Cont.)
• In children with hypercalciuria, further
studies of :
- Calcium excretion
- Dietary calcium restriction
- Calcium loading
are necessary

2.Cystine Calculi2.Cystine Calculi
•Cystinuria accounts for 1% of renal calculi in
children
•Rare autosomal recessive disorder
•Disorder of the epithelial cells of the renal tubule
that prevents absorption of the 4 dibasic amino
acids (Cystine, Ornithine , Lysine, Arginine,)
(COLA) and results in excessive urinary excretion
of these products.

6.Nephrocalcinosis (Cont.)6.Nephrocalcinosis (Cont.)
•The most common causes are:
36
• Furosemide • Cortical necrosis
• Distal RTA • Hyperoxaluria
• Hyperparathyroidism • Prolonged immobilization
• Medullary sponge kidney • Cushing syndrome
• Hypophosphatemic rickets • Hyperuricosuria
• Sarcoidosis • Renal candidiasis
Treatment
• In a child with a renal or ureteral calculus, the
decision whether to remove the stone
depends on:
- Location
- Size
- Composition (if known)
- Obstruction and/or infection if is present.
37
Treatment (cont.)
• If the calculus does not pass or seems unlikely
to pass or if there is associated urinary tract
infection, removal is necessary
• Lithotripsy of bladder, ureteral, and small
renal pelvic calculi using the holmium laser
through a flexible or rigid ureteroscope is quite
effective
38
Treatment (cont.)
• In children with hypercalciuriaIn children with hypercalciuria:
- Some reduction in calcium and sodium
intake is necessary
-Thiazide diuretics also reduce renal calcium
excretion.
-Addition of potassium citrate, an inhibitor
of calcium stones, with a dosage of
1-2 mEq/kg/24hr is beneficial.
39
Treatment (cont.)
• In patients with uric acid stones:In patients with uric acid stones:
- allopurinol is effective
• In patients with cystine stones:In patients with cystine stones:
- Alkalinization of urine with sodium
bicarbonate or sodium citrate is effective.
• D- penicillamine, which is a chelating
agent that binds to cysteine or homocysteine,
increasing the solubility of the product
40
Treatment (cont.)
• Treatment of type 1 RTATreatment of type 1 RTA
-- Involves:
*Correcting the metabolic acidosis
*Replacing lost potassium and sodium
• Treatment of primary hyperoxaluriaTreatment of primary hyperoxaluria
-- Involves:
* Liver transplantation
* Kidney transplantation

Urinary lithiasis

  • 1. Urinary LithiasisUrinary Lithiasis in childrenin children Prof. Dr. Saad S Al Ani Senior Pediatric Consultant Head of Pediatric Department Khorfakkan Hospital Sharjah ,UAE saadsalani@aol.com
  • 2. Urinary LithiasisUrinary Lithiasis • The wide geographic variation in the incidence of lithiasis in childhood is related to: – Climatic – Dietary – Socioeconomic factors • Approximately 7% of urinary calculi occur in children <16 yr of age. 22
  • 3. Stone formationStone formation • Approximately 75% of all stones contain calcium as a major constituent, and 60% are composed of calcium oxalate • Most “spontaneous” stones are composed of calcium, oxalate, or phosphate crystals(COP) – Others are due to uric acid, cystine, ammonium crystals, or phosphate crystals, or a combination of these substances (UCAP) 33
  • 4. Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.) • The risk of stone formation increases in the presence of increasing concentrations of these crystals and is reduced with increasing concentrations of inhibitors. 44
  • 5. Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.) • Renal calculi develop from crystals that form on the calyx and aggregate to form a calculus • Bladder calculi may be stones that formed in the kidney and traveled down the ureter, or they can form primarily in the bladder. 55
  • 6. Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.) • Stone formation depends on four factors: 1. Matrix 2. Precipitation-crystallization 3. Epitaxy 4. Absence of inhibitors of stone formation in the urine 6
  • 7. Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.) 1. Matrix – Is a mixture of protein , non-amino sugars, glucosamine, water, and organic ash – Makes up 2-9% of the dry weight of urinary stones – Is arranged within the stones in organized concentric laminations 7
  • 8. Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.) 2. Precipitation-crystallization – Refers to supersaturation of the urine with specific ions composing the crystal. – Crystals aggregate by chemical and electrical forces. 8
  • 9. Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.) Precipitation-crystallization (Cont.)(Cont.) – Saturation of urine with respect to the ions increases: • Rate of nucleation, crystal growth, and aggregation • likelihood of stone formation and growth 9
  • 10. Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.) 3. Epitaxy – Refers to the aggregation of crystals of different composition but similar lattice structure, thus forming stones of a heterogeneous nature. – e.g. calcium oxalate and monosodium urate have similar structures and calcium oxalate crystals can aggregate on a nucleus of monosodium urate crystals. 10
  • 11. Stone formationStone formation (Cont.)(Cont.) 4. Inhibitors of stone formation Urine contains inhibitors of stone formation, including: i. Citrate ii. Diphosphonate iii. Magnesium ion 11
  • 12. Clinical ManifestationsClinical Manifestations • Gross or microscopic hematuria • Severe abdominal or flank pain (renal colic) ( If the calculus is in the renal pelvis, calyx , or ureter and causes obstruction) – Typically the pain radiates anteriorly to the scrotum or labia. – Often the pain is intermittent 12
  • 13. Clinical ManifestationsClinical Manifestations (Cont.)(Cont.) • Irritative symptoms of dysuria, urgency, and frequency (If the calculus is in the distal ureter) • Asymptomatic. (If the stone passes into the bladder) 13
  • 14. Clinical ManifestationsClinical Manifestations (Cont.)(Cont.) • Dysuria and difficulty voiding can result, particularly in boys. (If the stone is in the urethra) • Pass small amounts of gravel-like material. (Some children ) 14
  • 15. DiagnosisDiagnosis • Approximately 90% of urinary calculi are calcified to some degree and consequently are radiopaque on a plain abdominal film – Struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) stones are radiopaque. – Cystine, xanthine, and uric acid calculi may be radiolucent 15
  • 16. DiagnosisDiagnosis (Cont.)(Cont.) • Some children have nephrocalcinosis, (which is calcification of the renal tissue itself ) • Unenhanced spiral CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis is the most accurate study ( if a child with suspected renal colic) – 96% sensitivity and specificity in: Delineating the number and location of calculi Demonstrates whether the involved kidney is hydronephrotic 16
  • 17. DiagnosisDiagnosis (Cont.)(Cont.) • An alternative is to obtain a plain radiograph of the abdomen and pelvis plus a renal ultrasonogram. • Any material that resembles a calculus should be sent for analysis by a laboratory that specializes in identifying the components of urinary calculi 17
  • 18. Metabolic EvaluationMetabolic Evaluation • A metabolic evaluation for the most common predisposing factors should be undertaken in all children with urolithiasis bearing in mind that structural, infectious, and metabolic factors often coexist. 18
  • 19. Metabolic EvaluationMetabolic Evaluation (Cont.)(Cont.) • Laboratory tests suggested for evaluation of urolithiasis 19 I. Serum • Calcium • Electrolytes and anion gap • Phosphorus • Creatinine • Uric acid • Alkaline phosphatase
  • 20. Metabolic EvaluationMetabolic Evaluation(Cont.)(Cont.) 20 II . Urine • Urinalysis • 24-hr collection for: - Creatinine clearance - Oxalate - Calcium - Uric acid - Phosphate - Dibasic amino acids • Urine culture • Calcium / creatinine ratio • Spot test for cystinuria

  • 37. Treatment • In a child with a renal or ureteral calculus, the decision whether to remove the stone depends on: - Location - Size - Composition (if known) - Obstruction and/or infection if is present. 37
  • 38. Treatment (cont.) • If the calculus does not pass or seems unlikely to pass or if there is associated urinary tract infection, removal is necessary • Lithotripsy of bladder, ureteral, and small renal pelvic calculi using the holmium laser through a flexible or rigid ureteroscope is quite effective 38
  • 39. Treatment (cont.) • In children with hypercalciuriaIn children with hypercalciuria: - Some reduction in calcium and sodium intake is necessary -Thiazide diuretics also reduce renal calcium excretion. -Addition of potassium citrate, an inhibitor of calcium stones, with a dosage of 1-2 mEq/kg/24hr is beneficial. 39
  • 40. Treatment (cont.) • In patients with uric acid stones:In patients with uric acid stones: - allopurinol is effective • In patients with cystine stones:In patients with cystine stones: - Alkalinization of urine with sodium bicarbonate or sodium citrate is effective. • D- penicillamine, which is a chelating agent that binds to cysteine or homocysteine, increasing the solubility of the product 40
  • 41. Treatment (cont.) • Treatment of type 1 RTATreatment of type 1 RTA -- Involves: *Correcting the metabolic acidosis *Replacing lost potassium and sodium • Treatment of primary hyperoxaluriaTreatment of primary hyperoxaluria -- Involves: * Liver transplantation * Kidney transplantation 41
