- Title
Acute Renal Failure Following Bilateral Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy in the Absence of Obstruction.

LITTLETON, RAY H.; MELSER, MARC; KUPIN, WARREN
- Abstract
Permanent renal damage following extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) of renal calculi has not been reported to occur, although several studies have shown temporary acute functional and morphologic changes immediately after treatment. For example, shock wave therapy has been directly associated with intrarenal hematomas, interstitial edema, and temporary tubular dysfunction. We report the occurrence of reversible acute tubular necrosis in a nonobstructed system after bilateral ESWL therapy.
