Validation of a Renal Papillary Grading System: Comparison of Patients Forming Calcium Oxalate and Apatite Stones
In this patient sample, papillary appearance differed between CaOx and CaP stone formers. Some of these differences can be reliably appreciated and quantified using the proposed papillary grading system. The grading system was reproducible across multiple graders and is designed to be used in the operating room in a manner that can be easily integrated into patient care.
