Summary

This study aimed to compare oral dissolution therapy (ODT), extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), and a combination of ESWL and ODT as noninvasive modalities for treating small and medium-sized renal radiolucent.

Conditions

  • Oral Dissolution Therapy
  • Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy
  • Noninvasive
  • Small
  • Medium
  • Radiolucent Renal Stones

Interventions

DRUG

Oral dissolution therapy

Patients received guidance for oral potassium-sodium-hydrogen-citrate (6:6:3:5) at a dosage of twenty milliequivalents three times every day, along with a daily fluid intake of two to three liters and a food plan to restrict protein and sodium consumption for a maximum of three months.

PROCEDURE

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy

Patients received extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy utilizing a Dornier lithotripter equipped with an integrated ultrasound for stone localization. If the patient required additional sessions, up to a maximum of four sessions, at a rate of 60-90 shocks per minute, the period between sessions was three weeks.

PROCEDURE

Oral dissolution therapy + extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy

Patients received a combination of oral dissolution therapy and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
