STONE FREE RATES OF KIDNEY STONE WAS LOWER THAN THE ONE OF URETER STONE PATIENTS MANAGED BY ESWL AND THE ONE OF URETER STONE MANAGED BY URETEROLITHOTRIPSY
Abstract: To evaluate the stone
free rates of kidney and ureter stone patients managed by Extracorporeal
Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL), and the ureter stone free rate managed by
ureterolithotripsy. Material & method: We reviewed the medical records of
kidney and ureter stone patients managed by ESWL and ureter stone patients
managed by ureterolithotripsy in Arifin Achmad Regional General Hospital
Pekanbaru Riau Province, Indonesia, from January 2010 - December 2016. ESWL and
ureterolithotripsy stone free rates were examined by the control of KUB
röngents. Results: There were 891 kidney and ureter stone patients consisting
of 325 (36.5%) were kidney stone patients and 566 (63.5%) were ureter stone
patients. The pyelum stones were the most (78.2%) in kidney stones and the
lower ureter stones were the most (57.2%) in ureter stones. There were more
male patients than the female ones in which most of the patients were in the
group age of 49-59 years. The amount of patients increased each year. The
kidney stone free rate managed by ESWL was lower (71.7%) than ureter stone free
rate (84.1%) by ESWL, while the stone free rate of ureter stone patients
managed by ureterolithotripsy was 100%. Conclusion: The ESWL stone free rate of
the kidney stone patients was lower than the one in ureter stone patients while
the ureterolithotripsy stone free rate was 100%.
