A Cross-Sectional Analysis to Develop Diagnostic Criteria for the Geriatric Incontinence Syndrome - Abstract
Nephrolithiasis is a highly prevalent disease worldwide with a high level of acute and chronic morbidity. First-line treatment is typically analgesia with
non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs until the stone passes; otherwise urological intervention may be necessary. Certain medications such as alpha blockers and
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, or anti-spasmodics are sometimes used to create passage of stones in order to avoid further urologic
intervention or hospitalization. However, the study results have limited their use and meanwhile major adverse events defined as orthostatic hypotension,
collapse, syncope, palpitations, or tachycardia have been reported. At the present global circumstances, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (COVID-19) has caused
widespread disruption of routine surgical care and forced every surgeon to make triage decisions requiring greater ethical and community health consideration.
It is necessary to balance the surgical risks and benefits and the medical risks of any perceived delay in treatment, and potential exposure of health care
workers and/or patients to the deadly virus.
Hence, to reduce the incidence of renal lithiasis, an im portant number of etiologic factors can be adequately modified through diet. It is possible to treat
kidney stones (nephrolithiasis and urolithiasis) successfully and out patiently, by avoiding the required surgery or invasive method of treatment.
