In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy will present on Nephrolithiasis, covering the types of kidney stones, including calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, struvite, uric acid, and cystine stones. We’ll dive into the pathophysiology behind stone formation and the factors that increase the risk of developing kidney stones. The session will then transition to a digital presentation focused on the clinical presentation, including symptoms like flank pain and hematuria, as well as the diagnostic approach with imaging and laboratory tests. Finally, we’ll review management strategies for Nephrolithiasis, discussing medical therapy, dietary modifications, and procedural interventions such as lithotripsy and ureteroscopy.
