“…[11] In relevant studies performed, the prevalence of urinary system stone disease has been reportedly ranged between 2, and 20 percent. [1][2][3][7][8][9] The reason for discrepancies between data on the prevalence of stone disease can be explained by inclusion of participants living both in urban, and rural areas in the study, higher number of male participants over a certain age, and conduction of the study in selected groups. In a study performed by Stamatelou et al [9] in USA, in the years 1976-1980, and 1988-1994, a total of 15,364, and 16115 cases were investigated respectively, and increases in the prevalence of stone disease in all decades were reported.…”

“…Men have generally a higher risk of suffering from recurrent renal stone disease In other words, recurrence rates within the first 1-2, 5, and 10 years after diagnosis of renal stone disease are 10-25%, 35%, and 60%, respectively. [2] According to the guidelines of European Association of Urology (EAU), in the management of renal stones, treatment alternatives include watchful waiting, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL), and open nephrolithotomy. [3] In addition to complaints of severe pain, stress, and anxiety because of development of renal failure, and pyelonephritis, urinary system stone disease can incur serious economic losses.…”

Objective: Kidney stones are one of the most common disorders of the urinary tract. With increasing awareness, a larger proportion of patients are seeking medical knowledge from the Internet. In present study, the features, reliability and efficacy of videos on YouTube related to the treatment of kidney stones were evaluated. Material and methods:In December 2014, YouTube was searched using keywords "nephrolithiasis"; "renal calculi"; "renal stones"; and "kidney stones" for videos uploaded containing relevant information about the disease. Only videos in Turkish were included in the study. Two physician viewers watched each video and classified them as useful, partially useful and useless according to European Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines. The source, length, number of views, number of favourable opinions, and days since uploaded date of the all videos were evaluated.Results: A total of 600 videos were analysed The median length of videos was 6.7±10.4 (median: 3, IQR: 0.03-58) minutes . Each video was viewed at an average of 2368 (min: 11, max: 97133) times. Most of the videos (32.8%) were created by academicians and physicians. Nearly half (47.4%) of the videos were uploaded in 2014. The majority of the videos (62.5%) contained information for treatment. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy and ureterorenoscopy were the most common treatment modalities (32.8% and 28.0%, respectively ) in these videos. A statistically significant difference was not detected between view numbers and source of videos (p= 0.87). However, there was a statistically significant difference between usefulness to the viewers and source of videos. Hospital -based videos were detected to be more useful (p= 0.000). Conclusion:As a result, videos that would be prepared in internet environment by professional individuals or organizations in a way which would attract attention and be easily comprehended by the public could contribute to the knowledge and education of our society about the stone disease which is commonly seen in our country.

“…Most commonly, these stone episodes can cause renal colic resulting in flank or abdominal pain, urinary urgency or frequency, fevers or chills, nausea or vomiting, and gross or microscopic hematuria. 7,8 The incidence of microhematuria and urolithiasis has been estimated to be as high as 90% in the literature and has been theorized to be present when the patient's pain is at its maximum intensity, diminishing to undetectable levels as the pain subsides. 9,10 The absence of hematuria, however, does not always exclude the possibility of urinary lithiasis.…”

“…Wichtigste Maßnahme zur Vorbeugung eines rezidivierenden HWI und einer infektbedingten Steinbildung ist die Erhö-hung der Diurese durch eine ausreichende und möglichst regelmäßige Flüssigkeits-zufuhr [11]. Erreger werden am Aufsteigen im Harntrakt gehindert und ausgespült, bevor sie sich im Harntrakt festsetzen und nach erfolgreicher Harnalkalisierung die Steinbildung auslösen können.…”

The classic "infection stone" struvite is formed as a result of metabolic activity of urease-positive bacteria from alkaline urine with pH-values above 7.5. Due to improved infection diagnostics and antibiotic therapy, the occurrence of infection-related urinary stones in the western industrialized world decreases, despite the generally increasing prevalence rates of urolithiasis in these societies. Struvite is often associated with other mineral phases. These accessory mineral phases could indicate other, non-infection-related causes of urinary stone formation. Thus, mineral analysis is always recommended. Struvite stones as well as struvite encrustations on urinary tract implants are characterized by rapid growth. The rapid growth-related embedding of urease-positive bacteria in the crystalline material makes the urinary stone a persistent source of recurrent urinary tract infections. According to the German Society of Urology guidelines on urolithiasis, a patient with the diagnosis "infection stone" should be assigned to the "high-risk" patient group. Complete stone and debris removal, as well as a special metaphylaxis strategy are required to initiate successful stone therapy.
