On the therapy of urolithiasis in chronic renal failure.
A resigning attitude in respect to patients suffering from nephrolithiasis and manifest renal failure is not justified anymore in view of the advances in diagnosis and therapy. During the period 1964-1975, at the urological clinic of the hospital Friedrichshain 188 patients suffering from nephrolithiasis and renal failure have been treated: 120 surgically and 68 conservatively. The operative-therapeutical conception is outlined. The pre- and postoperative hemodialysis therapy is described in detail and the different indications of hemodialysis according to the stage of renal failure are elaborated. Tabulated data demonstrate the fate of all surgically treated patients.
