Abstract
A study of the efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in patients with urolithiasis with renal calculi of high-density (1000 HU) and size less than 20 mm was carried out. A total of 18 patients underwent 54 ESWL sessions. The tolerability of the treatment was satisfactory. The best results were obtained in patients with structural heterogeneity of calculi with a difference in the density of different sections of the calculus according to multi-slice computer tomography data of more than 500 HU. Such calculi disintegrated more easily during ESWL.
