    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Urinary calculi (kidney stones) affect children, with diverse underlying causes.
    • Infection and metabolic factors are significant contributors to pediatric stone formation.
    • Effective management requires identifying etiologies and implementing aggressive therapeutic strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the management of pediatric urinary calculi.
    • To evaluate the outcomes of therapeutic interventions for kidney stones in children.
    • To emphasize the importance of long-term follow-up for pediatric stone disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 131 children diagnosed with urinary calculi.
    • Assessment of identified metabolic causes and infected renal lithiasis.

  • Evaluation of therapeutic outcomes and disease activity post-treatment.

    • Main Results:

    • The study included 131 children, with a 2:1 male-to-female ratio.
    • Identifiable metabolic causes were found in 5% of patients; 78% had infected renal lithiasis.
    • Appropriate therapy rendered stone disease inactive in 79% of children; 21% had active disease.

    Conclusions:

    • Urinary stone formation in children can be a complication of various underlying disorders.
    • Aggressive therapeutic efforts, alongside etiological investigation, are essential for managing pediatric urinary calculi.
    • Long-term follow-up is mandatory for all pediatric patients with active or inactive stone disease due to its often sporadic nature.
