To assess the incidence of long-term side effects after shock-wave lithotripsy treatment performed with an electromagnetic Dornier Lithotripter S device. A specific follow-up was undertaken on a cohort of 100 selected patients that underwent SWL for a single renal stone in our center from 2002 to 2004. Previous and current data were compared using the Student t test. Factors associated with the incidence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus were determined. Ten years after treatment, mean serum creatinine level and glomerular filtration rate remained similar to previous values (serum creatinine level: 0.96 ± 0.22 vs. 0.92 ± 0.19 mg/dL; glomerular filtration rate: 92.8 ± 17.8 vs. 88.1 ± 21.7 mL/min). There were marked increases in blood cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels, while smoking decreased. Age, glomerular filtration rate, body mass index, blood glucose and blood pressure at the time of treatment were significantly associated with the presence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus at follow-up; blood cholesterol was associated with diabetes mellitus development. After 10 years, overall renal function appeared to have been unaffected by shock-wave lithotripsy treatment. The increased rate of hypertension and diabetes mellitus were consistent with the incidence in the global population. This is the first report on the long-term safety of a third generation electromagnetic lithotripter, and indicates that there are no long-term sequelae.
