EVALUATION OF RENAL
STONE IN CHILDREN
Presented By-
DR. AZMERY SAIMA

PHASE A ( NEONATOLOGY)
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical
University (BSMMU), Dhaka.
Case scenario
• A 15 year old boy admitted in hospital with the
complaints of severe left flank pain ,
haematuria for 10 days. But patient has no
fever, gave history of inadequate fluid intake.
Family history of nephrolithiasis positive.
INTRODUCTION
 Kidney Stones, also known as renal
calculus or nephrolith, are small, hard deposits of
mineral and acid, salts on the inner surfaces of the
kidneys.
 If stones grow to sufficient size they can cause
blockage of the ureter.
• Urolithiasis- stone in urinary tract.
• Nephrolithiasis- stone in renal tissue.
• Nephrocalcinosis- deposition of calcium in
the substance of the kidney.
EPIDEMIOLOGY
• Urinary lithiasis in children is related to
genetic, climatic, dietary & socioeconomic
factors.
• The incidence is increasing : in 1996 the rate of
symptomatic nephrolithiasis was 7.9 in 10000,
whereas in 2007 it was 18.5 in 10000 .
• Approximately 7% of urinary calculi occur in
children younger than 16 year of age.
EPIDEMIOLOGY
• The prevalence of pediatric urolithiasis in
developed countries had fallen following
improved socioeconomic condition, but
currently is increasing. This may be explained
by an increase in diagnosis secondary to
improved diagnostic technique.
INCIDENCE
 Urinary calculi are more common in men than in women.
(3:1)
 Incidence of urinary calculi peaks between the 3rd and 5th
decades of life.
 80% of stones under 2mm in size
 90% of stones pass through the urinary system
spontaneously
 There is seasonal variation with stone occurring more often
in the summer months.
STONE FORMATION
 Highly concentrated urine constituents crystallize and
harden to form calculi.
 Kidney stones form when urine contains more crystal-
forming substances - such as calcium, oxalate and uric
acid.
 At the same time, urine may lack substances that prevent
crystals from sticking together, creating an ideal
environment for kidney stones to form.
 The crystals get deposited on the nucleus and continue to
grow. These can some times adhere to the renal papillae.
Inhibitors and promotors of stone
formation
INHIBITORS
Inhibits crystal Growth -
 Citrate
 Magnesium
 Pyrophosphate
 Zinc
Inhibits crystal Aggregation
 Glycosaminoglycans
 Tamm- Horsfall Protein
PROMOTERS
 Bacterial Infection
 Anatomic Abnormalities – PUJ obst.
 Altered Ca and oxalate transport in renal
epithelium.
 Prolonged immobilisation.
 Increased uric acid levels - taking increased
purine subs– promotes crystalisation of Ca
and oxalate
Stone formation
• Stone formation depends on four factors:
1. Matrix
2. Precipitation-crystallization
3. Epitaxy
4. Absence of inhibitors of stone
formation in the urine

TYPES OF KIDNEY STONES
 Calcium oxalate
 Calcium phosphate
 Struvite
 Uric acid
 Cystine

Fig: staghorn calculi
Calcium stones: Most kidney stones are calcium
stones, usually in the form of calcium oxalate and
calcium phosphate. Oxalate is a naturally
occurring substance found in food. Some fruits
and vegetables, as well as nuts and chocolate,
have high oxalate levels.
Uric Acid: This type of kidney stone is more
common in men than in women. They can occur
in people with gout or those going through
chemotherapy.
Struvite: This type of stone is found mostly in
women with urinary tract infection. These stones
can be quite large and cause urinary obstruction.
Cystine: Cystine stones are rare. They occur in
both men and women who have the genetic
disorder cystinuria.
Other: Other, rarer types of kidney stones also
can occur. Such as xanthine, dihydroadenine
stone, indinavir etc.
RISK FACTORS
HIGH MINERAL CONTENT IN

FAMILY OR PERSONAL
HISTORY
DIETARY INTAKE
BEING OBESE
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• Slow urine flow, resulting in super saturation of the urine.
• Damage to the lining of the urinary tract
• Decreased inhibitor substances in the urine that would otherwise
prevent super saturation and crystalline aggregation.
Approach to diagnosis of renal stone
Approach to renal stone
1. Detailed history
2. Clinical examination
3. Relevant Investigations
HISTORY
• Age – uncommon in children.
• Sex- more common in male (3:1)
• Geography -More in southeast Asia.
• Climatic & geographic factors
• Occupation – sedentary lifestyle.
HISTORY…
Presentation is variable.
• Children may present initially with-
loin pain (50%),abdominal pain
haematuria
features of UTI, N, V
dysuria, urgency, frequency
may be asymptomatic

• Birth history- PT (12-64%), LBW, diuretics, duration
of oxygen therapy.
• Family history of nephrolithiasis, consanguinity
• Past illness – similar type illness, IBD, Cystic fibrosis,
malignancy.
• Dietary history-Fluid intake, vitamin & mineral
suplementation, tea, coffee, dairy products, spinach,
beet, peanuts.
• Personal history- immobility, bowel habit (cr.
Diarrhoea).
• Drug history-Loop diuretics, corticosteroid, is
geeting chemotherapy.
• An underlying metabolic abnormality –
symptoms of thirst
polyuria, anorexia, muscle cramps,
abdominal & bone pain
• Evaluation of growth & development,
bone structure, blood pressure.
Presentation
• Factors
–Size of stone
–Location of stone
–Degree of obstruction
–Presence of infection
–Presence/absence of normal contralateral
kidney
Clinical feature:
Renal stone:
• 1.Recurrent flank pain or renal colic
occurs in 40-75% of children or
Abdominal pain
• 2.Gross or Microscopic hematuria in 33-
90% of children
• 3.Repeated attack of UTI
• 4.Occasionally the stone may be silent &
leads to obstructive uropathy .
Ureteric
Calculus
1. Always of Renal Origin
2. Commonly of elongated shape
3. Can get impacted at 3
constrictions of ureter
4. Can cause:
Obstruction
Hydronephrosis
Infection
Ureteral Stricture
5. C/F:
Colicky Pain (from loin to tip
genitalia)
Hematuria, dysuria, frequency,
strangury
Tenderness in iliac fossa
Bladder Calculus
1. Primary vesical calculus:
• occurs in sterile urine
• Comes down from kidney through
ureter and gets enlarged in
bladder (usually oxalate stone).
• Can irritate bladder mucosa
causing hematuria
2. Secondary vesical calculus:
• Occurs in presence of infection
(commonest bladder stone)
• Usually phosphate stone, occurs in
bladder only
Urethal stone:
• Dysuria
• Inability to void/difficulty voiding.
• Present with terminal hematuria
• It is uncommon to pass urethral calculus
without symptoms

Nephrocalcinosis
• Refers to renal parenchymal calcification. The
calcification may be dystrophic or metastatic.
1.With dystrophic calcification, there is deposition of
calcium in necrotic tissue. This type of parenchymal
calcification occurs in tumors, abscesses, and
hematomas.
2.Metastatic nephrocalcinosis occurs most often with
hypercalcemic states caused by hyperparathyroidism,
renal tubular acidosis, and renal failure.
Metastatic nephrocalcinosis can be
• further categorized by the location of calcium
deposition as cortical or medullary.
Causes of Nephrocalcinosis
• Causes of cortical nephrocalcinosis include
1. Acute cortical necrosis
2. Chronic glomerulonephritis
3. Chronic hypercalcemic states
ethylene glycol poisoning, sickle cell disease, and
rejected renal transplants
• Causes of medullary nephrocalcinosis include
1. Hyperparathyroidism (40%)
2. Renal tubular acidosis (20%)
3. Medullary sponge kidney
bone metastases, chronic pyelonephritis, cushing’s
syndrome, hyperthyroidism, malignancy, renal papillary
necrosis, vitamin D excess, and Wilson’s disease.

  • 51. Nephrocalcinosis • Refers to renal parenchymal calcification. The calcification may be dystrophic or metastatic. 1.With dystrophic calcification, there is deposition of calcium in necrotic tissue. This type of parenchymal calcification occurs in tumors, abscesses, and hematomas. 2.Metastatic nephrocalcinosis occurs most often with hypercalcemic states caused by hyperparathyroidism, renal tubular acidosis, and renal failure. Metastatic nephrocalcinosis can be • further categorized by the location of calcium deposition as cortical or medullary.
  • 52. Causes of Nephrocalcinosis • Causes of cortical nephrocalcinosis include 1. Acute cortical necrosis 2. Chronic glomerulonephritis 3. Chronic hypercalcemic states ethylene glycol poisoning, sickle cell disease, and rejected renal transplants • Causes of medullary nephrocalcinosis include 1. Hyperparathyroidism (40%) 2. Renal tubular acidosis (20%) 3. Medullary sponge kidney bone metastases, chronic pyelonephritis, cushing’s syndrome, hyperthyroidism, malignancy, renal papillary necrosis, vitamin D excess, and Wilson’s disease.
