  Purpose

Around 5 to 10% of population will present kidney stone in any time of their life. It may be asymptomatic, however severe pain may be presented due to stone migration through urinary system. In these cases, the gold standard image exam is noncontrast helical computed tomography. The treatment is based on several factors and extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) is an option for urinary calculi lower than 2.0 centimeters.

The investigators aim to evaluate the urinary tract anatomy and radiological parameters as predictive factors for success of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy based on noncontrast helical computed tomography in the treatment (fragmentation and elimination) of kidney stones.

Further study details as provided by University of Sao Paulo:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Calculi elimination [ Time Frame: 8 to 12 weeks after SWL ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    The endpoint of this study will be the calculi elimination. It will be measurement as follow: stone free = no fragments; complete fragmentation = residual calculi < 4mm; incomplete fragmentation = residual calculi > 4mm; no alteration. It will be reported as good result and success treatment patients stone free or with complete fragmentation.


Estimated Enrollment: 150

Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2016
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Shockwave lithotripsy (SWL)
All patients will be submitted to a helical computed tomography with urinary tract reconstruction (axial and coronal) prior to SWL. Patients will be submitted to SWL under these conditions: outpatient, general anesthesia under supervision of an anesthesiologist, calculus will be found by ultrasound or simple radiography, 3000 impulses, 90/min, discharged at the same day with alpha blocker (tamsulosin) during 7 days for calculi bigger than 10 mm.
