[Ultrasonographic control of the renal state after remote shock- wave nephroureterolithotripsy]

The paper is concerned with the problems of ultrasound diagnosis of nephrolithiasis during distant shock-wave nephroureterolithotripsy. A scheme of ultrasound investigation of patients was developed. The morpho-functional state of the kidney was assessed during lithotripsy of calculi of different localization. A skialogical picture of the most spread concrements was described. USI was shown to be a highly effective diagnostic method permitting one to determine a degree of renal regeneration during therapy.
