[Etiology of nephrolithiasis in children: own observation].
Recurrent formation of renal calculi may be prevented by selective medical therapy designed to correct underlying metabolic disturbances in urine biochemistry. The aim of the study was to estimate potential risk factors of urolithiasis in 102 children before ESWL treatment. Metabolic disturbances followed by anatomical malformations of urinary tract, recurrent urinary tract infections caused by urease-induced microorganisms are the most frequent risk factors. In single cases possible risk factors were: immobilization and chronic corticosteroid therapy.
