Hyperuricosuria (HU), defined as an increased urinary acid excretion, seems to be responsible for the of kidney stone formation. Hyperuricosuria was identified as a potential etiology of hematuria in children and adult patients too. The aim of the study was to analyze clinical course of hyperuricosuria in 77 children (43 girls and 33 boys) treated in 1995-1999. We analyzed familial history of urolithiasis, reasons of hospital admissions, laboratory findings and treatment. HU has been suspected to cause hematuria in patients. Children with higher urinary acid excretion are in increased risk of stone formation.

The authors on the basing on clinical observation of 116 children with urolithiasis, in aged between 3 and 17 years have concluded the following: among the patients of the pediatric ward urolithiasis amounts to 9% of patients. It has been concluded that to diagnose urolithiasis ultrasounds are necessary, but in treatment and prevention an assay of crystallization components is indispensable. In all cases of children with urolithiasis, besides an infection, one must look for coexisting defects in the urinary tract.

In diagnosis, monitoring and prophylaxis of urolithiasis it is important to use simple, non-invasive tests. The aim of the study was to define the value of crystallizing ratios in urine in correlation with chemical stone composition in presumptive diagnosis and monitoring patients with urolithiasis. The study involved 102 children. An analysis of chemical stone composition was carried out in 62 cases. A correlation between values of crystallizing ratios in the urine, indicating the kind of preurolithiasis state and chemical stone composition has been found.

Treatment of urolithiasis depends on the stone and secretion renal tubular transport disturbances. Conservative treatment of urolithiasis and prevention of stone formation in children should consist of: adequate fluid intake, low salt and animal protein diet in all stone formers; calcium-oxalate stones: diet containing a proper amount of dairy product, low oxalate diet, if indicated: thiazide diuretics, magnesium salts, citrate; uric acid stones: low purine diet, alkalization of urine up to pH 6.5-7.0, if indicated: allopurinol; infection stones: treatment of the urinary tract infection, low phosphate diet; cystinuria: low animal protein diet, alkalization of urine up to pH 7.0, if indicated: captopril, d-penicillamine.

Actually extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the most frequent method in the treatment of urolithiasis in children. The aim of the study was to estimate the results of ESWL in children with urolithiasis. Between 1991 and 1999 y, in our Department 260 "reno-ureteral units" in 203 children were treated by lithotripsy. Totally of 518 ESWL procedures were performed. In general efficacy of ESWL was 88.08%, in children with single stone in kidney--97.80%., with multiple stones in kidneys--78.65%, in ureterolithiasis--71.88%. For complete recovery in patients mean 1.99 ESWL procedures were performed on 1 "reno-ureteral unit" on the average diameter of the stone/stones 13.3 mm.

Urolithiasis often coexists with recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTI). The aim of the study was to determine the correlation of preurolithiasis state (PS) and recurrent urinary tract infections and to establish an effect of the treatment UTI recurrence incidence. PS was found in 202(21.1%) children, most frequently: hyperoxaluria--in 61/202 (30.2%), hypercalciuria--in 32/202 (15.8%), and hyperuricosuria--in 30/202 (14.9%) children. Complex metabolic abnormality was observed in 62/202 (30.7%) patients. Therapeutic management comprised of: antibacterial prophylaxis, high fluid intake, proper diet, correction of urine pH, and pharmacological treatment if necessary. Disappearance of RUTI and PS in 88/202 (43.6%) children, disappearance of RUTI in spite of persistent PS in 36/202 (17.8%), and decrease of RUTI in 54/202 (26.7%) patients were method. In 110/202 (54.5) children PS disappeared.

The aim of this study was to assess, on the basing on clinical observation, the causes of erythrocyturia in children. The study include 438 children (214 girls and 224 boys) between 6 month and 17-teen years old with erythrocyturia, treated in Pediatric Nephrology Department from September 1992 till October 1999. The most common was the group of children with urolithiasis--162 (36.99%) and preurolithiasis state--126 (28.77%). In 153 cases urolithiasis was the only reason of erythrocyturia and in 9 children near urolithiasis the other reason (vesicouretheral reflux, urinary tract infection, glomerulitis, polycystic kidney) has been found. In 103 children the preulithiasis state was the only cause of erythrocyturia, in 23 children it was coexisted with others (vesicouretheral reflux, urinary tract infection, glomerulitis). As the more rare common causes were established vesicouretheral reflux, urinary tract infection, glomerulonephritis, in 36 children (8%) we did not find the reason of erythrocyturia. Variety of the reasons makes differential diagnostics of erythrocyturia complicated and needs experience and specialistic diagnostic investigation.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is a systemic disease, more and more frequently recognized-concerning 1 to 3% of the population. Statistically appears in 1 of 1000 adults, with significant advantage of women. In Poland every year about 30 new cases are noticed and incidence increases with an age. In spite of significant advance of the knowledge, it still makes a lot of diagnostic troubles. It appears to be non-specific illness, characterised by just one symptom, mainly urolithiasis, sometimes chronic ulcer disease, chronic pancreatitis, arterial hypertension, disorders of the movement or psychic disorders. Parathyroid adenoma which is the main reason of the disease is usually single and small, multiple and bigger ones are found exceptionally. In about 2% of cases they are localized in mediastinum. In the article the basic symptoms, diagnostic and therapeutic problems were shown, especially concerning surgical treatment which is safe, radical and efficacious method when performed by experienced surgical team and the conduct from choice on primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism.

The evaluation of urinary oxalate excretion is one of the most important diagnostic methods in patients with urolithiasis and/or nephrocalcinosis. Since reliable 24-h urine collections are difficult to obtain in children, excretion ratios of oxalate over creatinine are increasingly being used from single urine specimens. The aim of the study was to determine the normal values of oxalate/creatinine ratios in the second morning urine sample in healthy school children. The study involved 109 children between 6 and 16 years of age. The results showed that the values of Ox/Cr ratios are decreased in older children and there was significant difference between children under and above 12 years of age (values of the 95th percentile--0.076 and 0.051 mmol/mmol respectively). The significant correlation between 24-hours urinary oxalic acid excretions and Ox/Cr ratios (r-0.756) was found. We conclude, that Ox/Cr ratio is valuable parameter for screening purposes in children.

49 years old woman was admitted to Pulmonary Ward because of respiratory and cardiac failure. Six years earlier she was surgically treated because of urolithiasis and at this time disseminated lesions in both lungs were revealed. Biopsy made during transbronchial procedure showed microlithiasis. She had'nt any respiratory symptoms during 6 years. Now she had PaO2 = 36 mmHg and massive infiltrations in whole lungs. Palliative therapy with diuresis, cardiac drugs and oxygen therapy diminished symptoms of respiratory and cardiac failure.
