Pediatric UrolithiasisHow is it compare to adult stone disease? LESS COMMON 1/50th the rate No “Stone Belt” Increasing Incidence
GENDER EQUALITY No male predominance
SIMILAR PASSAGE RATES Similar spontaneous passage (8-50 %)
SIMILAR RECURRENCE Similar Recurrence (~ 50 %)
MORE VARIED CAUSES More secondary etiologies
Presenting Features of Pediatric Stone Disease by Age(Sums exceed 100% due to multiple presenting features) Milliner, Murphy, Mayo Clin Proc, 1993
Primary Etiology of Pediatric Stones(20% have multiple causes) Polinsky 1993; Robertson, 1978, Basaklar, 1991
Acute Management Imaging Decide if Urology needs to be called Pain Control Fluids
Imaging • X-Ray • Non-radioopaque (uric acid) • Mildly radioopaque (cystine) • Radio-opaque (calcium) • IVP • US • CT Scan – imaging of choice
Non-Medical Treatment • Indications • > 5 mm • Staghorn • Struvite stones • Infection • Obstruction
Acute Management of Stones • Hydration • Pain Control Oral better than IV NSAIDS better than opioids
ESWL vs Laser Lithotripsy • ESWL • Pros • Great for CaOx and Urate stones • Non-invasive • Cons • GETA for kids < 8 y • Can’t break up Cystine stones • Poor success rate with BIG stones (> 1 cm) • Hemorrhage and edema post-ESWL

The 4 Quadrants of Stone Formation Too Much Solute Too Little Solvent Too Many Promoters Too Few Inhibitors
Too Much Solute Low sodium diet Enhance reabsorption Low dietary intake of solute
Too Little Solvent Most stones prevented with > 2 L/m2/day
Too Many Promoters pH Uric Acid
pH and Stone Risk High pH CaPO4 Struvite Low pH CaOx Uric Acid Cysteine
Too Few Inhibitors Most important inhibitors Citrate Magnesium Natural (but clinically insignificant) Inhibitors Tamm-Horsfall Protein Osteopontin Prothrombin fragment 1
Lemonade Therapy • 4 oz of lemon juice in 2 Liters of water • Can restore normal citrate levels Urology, 2007
Overview Epidemiology 4 Reasons Stones Form Diagnostic Tests The Menu Of Stones
Timed Urine Collection • A variety of units • Mg/kg/day (calcium, magnesium) • Mg/m2/day (oxalate) • Mg/1.73m2/day (uric acid) • Mg/g creatinine (cystine, citrate) • Other measures • saturation indices • Mg/Ca and Citrate/Ca ratios
What’s So Special About the Orange Jug? • Thymol – prevents change in pH, citrate, uric acid, sulfate, sodium, potassium, and cAMP • HCl or Boric Acid – prevents change in Ca, Mg, PO4, Ox, ammonium, creatinine
Spot Urine Solutes • Solute : Creatinine • Ca / Cr < 0.22

Hypercalciuria Facts • 50% of identified metabolic abnormalities • 50% are inheritied (Autosomal Dominant) • 10-16% of untreated kids get stones in 1-4 y • 72% within 15 yrs (retrospective Hungarian) • Idiopathic #1 cause • Renal or GI subtypes (clinically unimportant) • 70% of kids have + Family Hx • Can be associated with low bone density
Secondary Causes of Hypercalciuria • Ketogenic Diet • Vitamin D intoxication • Medication (steroids, loop diuretics) • Immobilization • Acidosis • Hypercalcemia • Thyroid disorders • Dent’s Disease • dRTA • CaSR Mutations • Familial hypomagnesemia-hypercalciuria • Bartter’s syndrome • Medullary Sponge Kidney
