Background: Kidney stones are one of the most common urological diseases. Renal colic is a medical emergency due to severe pain, and the repetition of its periods greatly impacts the patient's life quality. Providing different treatments while increasing the patient's life expectancy causes changes in their lifestyle, health status, and life quality. This study aimed to evaluate the life quality of patients with kidney stones in Mashhad in 2019 with a review of Persian medicine.Materials and Methods: The present descriptive-analytical study was performed on 96 patients. Data were collected by SF-36 quality of life questionnaire, researcher-made demographic questionnaire, and the Salmannejad temperament determination questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS-16 software.Results: The mean age of patients was 45.6 years; the mean number of stones was 18.1± 84.1 and the mean size of stones was 12.32 ± 8.53 mm. The mean and standard deviation of patients' life quality was 369.26±98.32. The highest mean was related to the physical function dimension (82.68 ± 21.8) and the lowest mean was related to the pain dimension (52.23 ± 25.47). There was a statistically significant relationship between some dimensions of life quality with blood pressure and temperament (Mizaj) variables (p <0.05).Conclusion: Several factors improve the life quality of patients with kidney stones. Paying special attention to the characteristics of patients with kidney stones and modifying the type of nutrition based on their temperament can prevent the recurrence and re-formation of kidney stones.

Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is less invasive treatment for kidney stones. This technique is preferred in patients with a history of open nephrolithotomy surgery due to fewer side effects. In this study, bleeding complication was compared in patients with and without history of open kidney surgery.
Materials &Methods: In this cross sectional study, PCNL was performed in 73 patients (17 patients with a history of open nephrolithotomy surgery (group 1) and 56 patients without any history of surgery (group 2)) referring to Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad, between 2010-2011. Serum hematocrit (Hct) before and after surgery, irrigation fluid volume used in operation room, and Hct of irrigation fluid were considered as a measure of bleeding. Obtained data were statistically analyzed in SPSS software, version 15, using independent-sample T-test, Man-Whitney U test and Pearson test. A P
