Abstract

Our results demonstrate that shock wave energy induces transient functional damage of tubular function in children. Minimizing the kV. and number of shocks may decrease the deleterious effect. When considering functional regeneration time, the minimal interval between 2 shock wave treatments should be at least 15 days. The long-term effect needs further investigation.
