Lithotripsy



Subject: Lithotripsy

Forum: The Urology Forum

I had lithotripsy in 1989 for a rather large stone in the pelvis of my left kidney. It took 3,000 shocks to break it up. I am now 42 and have to take blood pressure medication. The hypertension started after the lithotripsy. I know there may be a connection but what about kidney damage? Is there any evidence that ESWL causes any damage to the kidneys?
