[Diagnosis, prevention and treatment of renal lesion in extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy].

The diagnosis and treatment of 120 patients with urolithiasis were made. The following examinations were made: the study of immune status and lipid peroxidation, detection of selective proteinuria, leukocyte migration inhibition reaction with autoantigens obtained from the tissues of the renopelvic segment providing additional information about renal parenchyma and immune system. The patients were divided into two groups: 70 patients of the study group received pre-, intra- and postoperative preventive pharmacotherapy, while 50 patients of the control group received standard therapy. It is shown that preventive measures in the patients of the study group aimed at raising resistance of the kidney to the shock wave and prevention of infectious-inflammatory process evidence for necessity of the above measures not only before extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, but also in intra- and postoperative periods.
