Litiasis coraliforme infantil. Diagnóstico metabólico y tratamiento

Abstract

Introduction: Complex lithiasis (coraliform and pseudocoraliform) is rare in young children in the developed world, but when present, it requires an aggressive approach and treatment to minimize kidney damage. The aim of this paper was to analyze our experience with this type of lithiasis and to review the existing literature regarding this subject. Material and methods: Between 1997 and 2010, 15 patients between the ages of 8 months old and 15 years old were diagnosed with complex renal lithiasis (9 cases with coraliform lithiasis and 6 cases with pseudocoraliform lithiasis). No cases were bilateral. Open surgery was performed in 7 cases, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy was performed in 5 cases, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy + extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy was performed in 3 cases. Results: We achieved successful treatment in 66.6% of patients, with no observation of residual lithiasis. In patients who did not respond to treatment, 13.4% residual lithiasis was observed. In 20% of the cases, residual lithiasis was treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, open surgery, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The most frequent metabolic disorder was hypocitraturia, and the most common composition of calculi was magnesium ammonium phosphate. Conclusion: Complex lithiasis in infants requires a thorough metabolic diagnosis based on calculus analysis and metabolic analysis and usually requires various treatments

Introducción: La litiasis compleja (coraliforme y pseudocoraliforme) es poco frecuente en edad infantil en el mundo desarrollado, sin embargo cuando está presente, requiere de un tratamiento y abordaje enérgico para minimizar el daño renal. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar nuestra experiencia con este tipo de litiasis y revisar la literatura al respecto. Material y métodos: Presentamos entre los años 1997 y 2010, 15 pacientes de entre 8 meses y 15 años diagnosticados de litiasis renal compleja (9 casos litiasis coraliforme y 6 casos litiasis pseudocoraliforme). No casos de bilateralidad. Se realiza tratamiento con cirugía abierta en 7 casos, ESWL en 5 casos y nefrolitotomía percutánea + ESWL en 3 casos. Resultados: Obtenemos éxito con el tratamiento en el 66.6% de los pacientes, sin observar litiasis residual. En el 13.4% se observa litiasis residual no susceptible de tratamiento. En el 20% hay litiasis residual, por lo que se resuelve el tratamiento con ESWL, cirugía abierta o nefrolitotomía percutánea. La alteración metabólica más frecuente fue la hipocitraturia y la composición del cálculo más frecuente fue fosfato amónico magnésico. Conclusión: La litiasis compleja en el infante requiere un diagnóstico metabólico exhaustivo, basado en análisis del cálculo y metabólico y un tratamiento habitualmente múltiple.
