[The evaluation of patients with urinary calculi discloses disturbances of metabolism in 75% of all cases (author's transl)].

The causes of, and physiopathological factors underlying the most common metabolic disorders implicated in the formation of renal stones are reviewed. These include hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria, renal tubular acidosis, cystinuria and disturbances of purine metabolism. Apart from metabolic disorders the risk of stone formation is also influenced by a low inhibitor activity in urine. Though some aspects in the pathogenesis of urolithiasis remain uncertain, the exact knowlege of important aetiological factors of stone formation is the basis of correct treatment and the prevention of recurrence of urinary calculi.

[Arterial embolic occlusion in tumours of kidney and bladder (author's transl)].

Arterial embolic occlusion is a comparatively new therapeutic method in urology. This procedure is performed now before operation of tumours of the kidney and as a palliative measure in the treatment of renal and bladder cancer. The procedure and mode of administration of the different materials for occlusion are described. The difficulties arising during embolic occlusion and the subjective response of the patient to this treatment are discussed. Furthermore, the advantages and disadvantages of this method and, in particular, undesirable side effects are pointed out.
