Our investigations have been performed on patients with purine urolithiasis included in two groups, according to the applied treatment for the removal of the uroconcrements. A group included 23 patients who underwent surgical treatment and the other group included 18 patients treated with Extracorporeal Shock-Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL). Before and after the therapeutic procedure the serum metallograms of the main alkaline (Na, K) and alkaline-earth (Ca, Mg) metals were determined by using spectrophotometry. The obtained results revealed post-treatment changes in the serum metallogram as follows: increase of natriemia and calcemia; decrease of kaliemia and magnesiemia in both groups. The find data show the dyshomeostasis of the main alkaline and alkaline-earth metals after the treatment underlying their implication in urolithogenesis. date: 2015 type: Konferencia vagy workshop anyag type: NonPeerReviewed format: part language: hu identifier: http://acta.bibl.u-szeged.hu/55945/1/proceedings_of_isaep_2015_130-134.pdf identifier: Gârban Zeno; Cumpănaş Alin; Avacovic Adina-Elena; Baltă Cornel; Sayti Ludovic; Marinescu Sorin; Nedelcu Mirela-Minerva: Assessment of serum metallograms in patients with purine urolithiasis before and after treatment.
