Special Conditions in Urinary Lithiasis

Urolithiasis in Clinical Practice

Part of the book series: In Clinical Practice ((ICP))

Abstract

The management of urolithiasis is not governed by a rigid code for all the patients. The clinical approach must be adapted to some physiological and pathological conditions which include, but are not limited to, pregnancy, early childhood, and post-renal transplantation status. The etiology of urinary stones in these fragile patients are sometimes different from that of the general population, the symptoms may be misleading, and the diagnostic and therapeutic means should be restricted to the least harmful possible.

“Effects vary with the conditions which bring them to pass, but laws do not vary. Physiological and pathological states are ruled by the same forces; they differ only because of the special conditions under which the vital laws manifest themselves”.

Claude Bernard (1813–1878)
