“…The bladder stone incidence was not significantly different between patients with suprapubic or urethral catheters. 10,11 Ku et al 12 determined that bladder stones Gender, n (%) were more common in patients with urethral catheters than in those without. Hansen et al 13 , however, did not detect significant differences regarding bladder stone formation between the different bladder-emptying methods.…”

Study design: Retrospective follow-up study. Objectives: To assess the occurrence of bladder stones in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting: Single SCI rehabilitation center in Switzerland. Methods: We searched our database for SCI patients who had undergone surgery due to bladder stones between 2004 and 2012. In all patients retrieved, personal characteristics, bladder management, bladder stone occurrence and time to stone formation/recurrence were recorded. Results: We identified 93 (3.3%) of 2825 patients with bladder stones, 24 women and 69 men, with a mean age 50 years (17-83) years. We observed bladder stones in patients with suprapubic catheter (SPC) in 11% (50/453), transurethral catheter (TC) in 6.6% (5/75), with intermittent catheterization (IC) in 2% (27/1315) and with reflex micturition (RM) in 1.1% (11/982), respectively. The mean time period to stone development was 95 months. The TC group had the shortest time interval (31 months), followed by the SPC group (59 months), individuals performing IC (116 months) and RM (211 months), respectively. Bladder stone recurrence rate was 23%. Recurrences were most frequent in the TC group (40%), followed by SPC (28%) and IC (22%), whereas no recurrences occurred in the RM group. Time to recurrence was shortest in the SPC group (14 months), followed by the IC (26 months) and the TC group (31 months), respectively. Conclusion: In SCI patients, bladder management has an important role in the development of bladder stones. Indwelling catheters (TC/SPC) are associated with the highest risk to develop bladder stones and therefore should be avoided if possible. If unavoidable, SPC are superior to TC.

“…In addition, long-term indwelling catheterization increases the frequency of UTIs and may be associated with lithiasis. 8 Clean intermittent catheterization, in which bladder voiding via a disposable catheter is implemented at frequent intervals, is recommended as a primary supportive measure in bladder care as it provides complete bladder emptying and offers a practical means of obtaining a catheter-free state. 9 The present study investigated assisted urination methods and analysed their influence on the urinary system in patients with spinal cord injury, in order to gain a better understanding of the effects of different types of voiding function.…”

“…108 In this patient cohort, unrecognized stone disease can contribute to renal failure, a significant source of morbidity and mortality. 109 In a case-control study, Favazza et al 109 reported that patients forming stones were older and were more likely to have complete injuries than patients known to be stone-free. DeVivo et al 110 noted that patients who developed renal stones were more likely to be older, have neurologically complete quadriplegia and have a history of bladder stones.…”

Challenges, concerns and common problems: physiological consequences of spinal cord injury and microgravity

et al. 2010

Introduction: Similarities between the clinical presentation of individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI) and astronauts are remarkable, and may be of great interest to clinicians and scientists alike. Objectives: The primary purpose of this review is to outline the manner in which cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, renal, immune and sensory motor systems are affected by microgravity and SCI. Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted (using PubMed) to evaluate the hallmark symptoms seen after spaceflight and SCI. This literature was then examined critically to determine symptoms common to both populations. Results: Both SCI and prolonged microgravity exposure are associated with marked deteriorations in various physiological functions. Atrophy in muscle and bone, cardiovascular disturbances, and alterations in renal, immune and sensory motor systems are conditions commonly observed not only in individuals with SCI, but also in those who experience prolonged gravity unloading. Conclusion: The preponderance of data indicates that similar physiological changes occur in both SCI and prolonged space flight. These findings have important implications for future research in SCI and prolonged space flight.
