Abstract
Shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) predictably damages renal tissue and transiently reduces function in both kidneys. This study characterized the effects on renal function of a supraclinical dose of shockwaves (SWs) (8000) in porcine kidneys and tested the hypothesis that such excessive treatment would intensify and prolong the resulting renal impairment.
