title: [Harmful effects of electrocorporal shock-wave lithotripsy].
abstract: Negative effects of extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ECSWL) were analysed in 101 patients aged 20 to 72 years. Urinary hemoglobin rise was found in all the patients. Protein levels rose if the calculi were located in the kidneys and low ureter. A 5-fold rise in plasma free hemoglobin in any position of the concrement indicates intravascular hemolysis as ECSWL hazards. Thus, ECSWL seems to damage stone-adjacent tissues and induce a general hematological reaction.
