Lithotripsy and to evaluate the effect of Tamsulosin on these biomarkers in patients. Forty patients and
twenty healthy persons were participate in this case-control study, Bl.urea, level of ALP, Level of KIM1, and level of Na c were investigate in serum with kidney stones patients and control healthy persons.
The results were shown significant elevation in the levels of KIM-1, and serum urea were decreased
significantly (p value <0.05) while the levels of ALP and serum sodium show an improvement when
compared to patients who were not used tamsulosin but it’s results were statistically not significant. the
results were given an evidence for the crucial role of some biomarker in serum in patients with kidney
