RIRS With Tip Flexible Pressure-controlling Ureteral Access Sheath Versus Mini PCNLfor Kidney Stones
The goal of this observational study is to compare the safety and efficacy between RIRS with tip flexible pressure-controlling ureteral access sheath and mini percutaneous nephrolithotripsy（PCNL） for the treatment of 2-3-cm kidney stones.
Treatment Optimization and Nephrolithiasis Recurrence Prevention With Interdisciplinary Care
Nearly 10% of the Belgian population suffer from kidney stone disease. Recent reviews reported that kidney stones represent an underestimated risk factor for further kidney function deterioration. Preventive measures are recommended in lithiases patients to prevent the formation of new stones. The individual effects of different medicated prosthetic interventions have …
Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NET's) in Prevalent Kidney Stone
Neutrophils are first responders to any kind of threat the body faces: infection, severe trauma, cancer, surgery... They produce the cytokines, induct oxidative stress and de-granulate toxic proteins to kill pathogens. However the new mechanism related to the neutrophil extracellular traps release has been recognized as a new way of …
Kidney Stone Inflammation
This observational study aims to look at the connections between kidney stones, insulin resistance, and inflammation. The researchers hypothesize that people who form calcium kidney stones and have insulin resistance may have higher levels of inflammation because they have more visceral fat (fat around the abdominal organs). The study will …
Serum Endotoxin Assay to Predict the Development of Postoperative Infectious Complications and Systemic Inflammatory Response Following Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy.
The aim of the study is to establish an infectious risk stratification system based on pre-and post-operative blood endotoxin profile.
Stone and Laser Therapies Post-Market Study (SALT)
The objective of the SALT Study is to obtain post-market safety and device performance data for Boston Scientific's Stone and BPH study devices used during a diagnostic and/or therapeutic urinary tract procedure (e.g., transurethral or percutaneous access routes) or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) treatment.
Prospective Research Rare Kidney Stones (ProRKS)
The purpose of this study is to determine the natural history of the hereditary forms of nephrolithiasis and chronic kidney disease (CKD), primary hyperoxaluria (PH), cystinuria, Dent disease and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency (APRTd) and acquired enteric hyperoxaluria (EH). The investigator will measure blood and urinary markers of inflammation and determine …
Kidney Sodium Functional Imaging
The corticomedullary gradient is largely responsible for developing the gradients that are needed to concentrate urine (more solutes and less water). The ability of the kidneys to produce concentrated urine is a major determinant of the ability to survive the warm weather. When temperatures are high, we lose water through …
