The management of renal and ureteric calculi in renal failure.
The management of 50 patients with renal failure and renal and ureteric calculi is described. Following dialysis and appropriate surgical intervention, renal function improved in 86%. Patients with acute and acute on chronic renal failure improved to nearly normal and remained so on follow-up. Eight per cent of those treated by surgery had retained calculi and 2% developed a recurrence of stones. Sixty-eight per cent showed improvement in hypertension. The mortality rate was 8%.
