METHODS: Patients undergoing stone removal by percutaneous (PNL) or ureteroscopic (URS) endoscopy were consented for study. Included patients had stone analysis of >50% calcium oxalate, with no brushite, medullary sponge, bariatric surgery, primary hyperoxaluria or hyperparathyroidism. all stone material was imaged by micro CT and stones growing on Randall’s plaque were identified by adherent regions of apatite that showed characteristics of calcified tissue (including lumens of vessels/tubules in 76% of the cases). Endoscopic papillary appearance was graded and measured on endoscopic video by an investigator blinded to the patient classification. RESULTS: 32 RP patients had on average 5±6 stones on Randall’s plaque, with none in the 42 Non-RP patients. The RP group was younger (48±17 v 56±14, p=0.04), had more stones (8±8 v 5±4 stones/kidney, p=0.02), less total stone removed (80±120 v 480±1200 cubic mm/kidney), and smaller stones (160±230 v 560±1200 cubic mm per stone, p=0.01) than did Non-RP patients, and RP were more likely to have undergone URS. RP had on average 240% more Randall's plaque area (5.2±4.3 v 1.5±1.7 as percent of papilla area, p <0.0001) and 77% less ductal plugging area (0.17±0.38 v 0.73±0.77, p <0.0001). In semi-quantitative scores, RP had more plaque and pitting, less plugging/dilated ducts, and less loss of papillary contour (figure 1). 24-hour urine values did not differ between RP and Non-RP on any measure. CONCLUSIONS: Calcium oxalate stone formers who showed positive evidence of having even a single stone on plaque had small stone burdens and were more likely to have undergone URS. Their renal papillae showed much more plaque and much less ductal plugging than the Non-RP group. These data support RP as a distinct phenotype among calcium oxalate stone formers.
