    AbstractHISTOLOGICAL AND FUNCTIONAL CONSEQUENCES OF ESWL: Extracorporeal shock wave litotripsy is now used for the treatment of about 90% of stones. Because of the nonpunctual delivery of energy into the stone, a small volume of renal parenchyma is injured, giving rise to a fibrous scar which can be visualized by morphological techniques such as magnetic nuclear resonance. Isotopic techniques point out a 15% reduction of renal plasma flow on the side of the litotripsy. For a majority of patients, this alteration is transient.
