Abstract
Damage caused by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) was studied in perfused human cadaver kidneys, with tissue changes after 3000, 6000, 8000, and 10,000 shocks being compared with control kidneys. Gross, microscopic, or arteriographic damage occurred in all four treated kidneys. A potential link to renovascular hypertension is suggested.Keywords
