abstract: The authors discuss the consequences of lithotripsy treatment in children with urolithiasis. The study included 316 children (168 girls and 148 boys) aged 2-18 years treated in our Department since 1991 until 2004 y. In 316 children 597 lithotripsy procedures (526 kidney and 71 ureter units) were performed. In the study group of patients after lithotripsy treatment most often were observed: hematuria 408/597 (68,3%) and in ultrasonography examinations changes in kidney parenchyma 128/526 (24,3%) and urinary retention in urinary tract 72/526 (13,7%).
