Urolithiasis

Abstract

The incidence of urolithiasis is very high in all countries of the post-Soviet area. Nowadays stone formation is also highly endemic in areas of the Central Asian republics. The main reasons for stone formation on Russia territory are urodynamic disorders and urinary tract infection, pyelonephritis, and metabolic pathologies. We have noted an improvement of diagnosis and treatment of urolithiasis due to successful scientific and technological development. Due to the results of our evaluation, a special epidemiological program based on the problems of urolithiasis will be developed in Russia in the near future. Our common aim is to join more effective treatment of patients with different forms of kidney stones and prevention of this difficult disease.
