Evaluation of hematochemical parameters and renal echography after ESWL.
Evaluation of hematochemical parameters and renal echography after ESWL treatment with Tripter X1 was done on the first 95 patients treated and for whom we had a longer than 3-month follow-up. Creatinine phosphokinase values showed an increase in 24 patients. 12 patients demonstrated an increase in amylasemia. Echographic checks performed the day after treatment revealed the presence of perirenal lesions in 3 cases. As far as amylasemia is concerned, only 1 patient was treated with aprotinin. One of the patients who developed perirenal hematoma had hypertension; another was following an antiaggregant therapy that was temporarily suspended.
