The incidence of urinary tract calculosis continuously progresses. The triggering event in the process of stone formation is decreased urinary level of crystallizing inhibitors. The aim of our study was to investigate whether the existing stone or applied therapeutic procedure - extracorporeal shock waves lithotripsy (ESWL) - has effect to urinary levels of Mg, citrate and pyrophosphate. Study included 128 patients with the upper urinary tract stones. ESWL using the Lithostar (Siemens) device was used as a mode of treatment. Out of all patients, 76 (59%) were free of stone particles before 1 month, while 52 (41%) had residual stone fragments even 3 months after ESWL. Mg, citrate and pyrophosphate were measured in 24hurine specimens: before, between days 2 and 3, as well as 1 and 3 months after ESWL. The analysis of the results revealed that stone itself had no effect on urinary crystallizing inhibitors. Detected increased urinary levels of Mg, citrate and pyrophosphate after ESWL, compared with pre-treatment values, could be attributed to applied therapeutic procedure.

Introduction: Urothelial carcinoma is the second most common urological malignancy. Around 5–10% of tumors are found in the upper urinary tract, while almost 90–95% are in the bladder. Methods: Patients of our department diagnosed with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) during the period 2014–2018 were included. The frequency, selected therapeutic procedures and treatment results were analyzed. Results: In the last 5 years, 21 patients with UTUC were diagnosed and surgically treated at the Department of Urology, Regional Hospital Nachod. The main surgical approach was nephroureterectomy. Mortality was 28.6% due to the original tumor diagnosis. Urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract was more common in men than in women in our patient group. Conclusion: Unfortunately, urothelial carcinomas of the upper urinary tract are often dealt with only in locally advanced stages or when nodal or distant metastases are present, making any possible administration of adjuvant chemotherapy complicated as it fails to provide a sufficient effect. Therefore, radical nephroureterectomy remains the gold standard for more than a half of patients. Overall survival depends largely on the presence of distant metastases. The pT category is the major influencing parameter for a relapse.
