A Study on Serum and Urinary Calcium, Inorganic Phosphorus and Serum Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Patients with Renal Stone / 대한비뇨기과학회지

A study was performed on contributing factors of stone formation, such as serum and urinary calcium, inorganic phosphorus and serum PTH in 63 patients with renal stone comparing those in 45 controls. The following results were obtained. 1. The mean values of serum calcium levels of patients were significantly higher than those of controls in total male and female. And those of urinary calcium levels of patients were significantly higher than those of controls in total and female but not in male. 2. The mean values of serum and urinary inorganic phosphorus levels did not show significant difference between patients and controls. 3. The mean values of serum parathyroid hormone levels of patients were higher than those of controls, but did not show significant difference between both groups. 4. The incidences of hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, hyperphosphatemia and elevated serum parathyroid hormone levels of patients were higher then those of controls, but showed significant difference between both groups in hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria.

A Case of Leiomyoma on the Penis / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Leiomyoma is benign tumor, which usually occurs at the smooth muscle of gastrointestinal tract and uterus but leiomyoma on the penis is very. rare neoplasm. We experienced a case of leiomyoma on the penis in a 17 year old man, so we report this case with review of literatures.

Giant Hydronephrosis Combined with Ureteral Stone / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Urinary obstruction leads to hydronephrosis, distention of renal pelvis and calices with urine accompanying atrophy of renal parenchyma. Especially longstanding incomplete obstruction may lead to giant hydronephrosis and terminate in destruction of the organ We experienced a case of giant hydronephrosis combined with ureteral stone in 50 year old man, so we report this case with review of literatures.

Two Cases of Simple Ureterocele / 대한비뇨기과학회지

A ureterocele is a sacculation of the terminal portion of the ureter. On the base of location of the orifice, ureteroceles are divided into simple and ectopic types. The simple ureteroceles arise from nor mally located ureteral orifice and are more common in adults than in children and relatively small. The ectopic ureteroceles arise from a ureteral opening in the bladder neck or urethra and are related to the upper pole ureter of duplicated ureters. Herein we report 2 cases of simple ureterocele complicated by a stone and infection each other with review of literatures.
