Pediatric urolithiasis in the 1970s.

We studied retrospectively 38 children who presented with urolithiasis between 1970 and 1977. The sex ratio was 1:1 and the mean age was 9.4 years. A positive family history was found in 36 per cent. Urinary tract abnormalities predisposing to infective urolithiasis was found in 7 children (18 per cent) but required voiding cystography for detection in 5. Hypercalcemia was found in 3 of 32 (8 per cent), while 28 of the 38 patients (74 per cent) had idiopathic urolithiasis. Idiopathic hypercalciuria was found in 5 of 13 patients (38 per cent) with idiopathic urolithiasis. Investigation of urolithiasis in children should include voiding cystography and measurement of urine calcium, as well as oxalate and uric acid, under home diet conditions.

Childhood hypercholesterolemia: implications for nurse practitioners.

Universal versus targeted screening for hypercholesterolemia in children is currently a debatable practice issue. Nurse practitioners must decide which screening methods to incorporate into practice. Recommendations on evaluation and management of hyperlipidemia in children can aid nurse practitioners facing this decision.
