Abstract: (290 Views)
Kidney and urinary tract stones are one of the most important problems in pediatrics, which are increasing in prevalence today due to sedentary life, improper nutrition, wrong habits in fluid consumption, and improper use of drugs. Kidney stones can be caused by various reasons, including metabolic disorders, urinary tract anomalies, and urinary infections. The purpose of this research is to investigate the prevalence and causes of kidney and urinary tract stones in pediatric patients aged 1-15 years admitted to Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Kashan.
This was a descriptive-analytical retrospective cross-sectional study in which the files of 68 children aged 1-15 years referred to Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Kashan in the period of 2010-2019, in which the presence of stones in them was proven through ultrasound, were examined. All cases were examined in terms of family history, urine culture, examination of urine crystals and anatomical disorders. Data analysis was done using SPSS statistical software and descriptive statistics.
In this study, 68 children (70% male and 30% female) with an average age of 5.19 ± 4.22 years were investigated. 25% had a family history of urinary stones. The most common complaint when patients came to visit was abdominal pain, followed by restlessness and renal colic. In 28% of cases where urine culture was done, the result was positive. The most common anatomical disorder in patients was bladder-ureteral reflux (VUR) and ureter-pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). At least one metabolic disorder was present in 75% of cases, the most common metabolic disorder in this study being Hypercalciuria. 50% of cases had kidney stones.
In this study, the most common disorder associated with urinary stones in children was hypercalcemia. The most common anatomical disorders in these patients are VUR and UPJO, the most common site of stone formation is the kidneys, and the most common symptom when the patients were referred was abdominal pain.
