Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Biochemistry
  • Medical Informatics

Context:

  • Nephrolithiasis (kidney stone disease) pathogenesis involves urinary environment anomalies.
  • Standard metabolic assessments require urine chemistry analysis and saturation calculations.
  • Current patient reports are often fragmented, hindering effective therapeutic recommendations.

Purpose:

  • Introduce LithoRisk, a dedicated software for graphical representation of kidney stone formation risk.
  • To provide a user-friendly tool for visualizing saturation levels and diagnostic lithorisk profiles.
  • To enhance medical management of nephrolithiasis through clear, comprehensive patient reports.

Summary:

  • LithoRisk utilizes 24-hour urine chemistry values (e.g., calcium, oxalate, citrate) to calculate relative supersaturation (beta values).

Related Experiment Videos

  • The software generates a graphical risk profile, displaying normal values in green and abnormal in red.
  • It provides instantaneous calculation and reporting of beta values for common stone types like calcium oxalate, phosphate, uric acid, and cystine.

    • Impact:

    • LithoRisk produces a unique, easy-to-understand report summarizing all relevant parameters for overall stone formation risk.
    • Enables physicians to identify key abnormalities and establish individualized targets for reducing stone formation.
    • Facilitates improved patient compliance and therapeutic outcomes in managing kidney stone disease.
