Prospective evaluation of acute endocrine pancreatic injury as collateral damage of shock‐wave lithotripsy for upper urinary tract stones

There has been controversy over whether extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) can cause damage to the endocrine cells of the pancreas, leading to the later development of diabetes mellitus. Authors from Germany prospectively evaluated acute endocrine pancreatic injury as collateral damage caused by the ESWL for treating upper urinary tract stones. In a careful study they showed that there was no effect on serum levels of variables indicating exocrine and endocrine pancreatic tissue damage, suggesting that the idea that ESWL might lead to future diabetes mellitus is unlikely to be correct.
