RESUMO

Urolithiasis (UL) is a severe public health concern in southeastern Mexico. Computed tomography (CT) is the first-line diagnostic method for patients with suspected UL. The present study aimed to characterize stones in the entire urinary system using CT and to contribute to personalized treatment in patients with UL. Patients >18 years of age with suspected UL were enrolled. Characteristics of UL included stone size, location (kidney, ureters, and bladder), composition of the stone in Hounsfield units (HU), presence of staghorn stone(s), and obstructive uropathy. Patients were stratified according to sex and age to determine whether stone size and HU were dependent on hormonal factors in females and on prostatic hyperplasia in males. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare median values. Frequencies are expressed as percentages and were analyzed using the Mantel-Haenszel chi-squared test. A total of 1150 patients were included in this study, of whom 744 (64.7 %) had UL in only 1 anatomical location in the urinary system, and 406 (35.3 %) had stones in ≥2 anatomical locations. Localization and stone size differed between males and females (p < 0.05). Additionally, males exhibited differences in HU (p = 0.024) and frequency of obstructive uropathy (p = 0.10) when stratified according to age (≤50 and > 50 years). In addition, females exhibited statistical differences in HU (p = 0.010) and kidney stone size (p = 0.047) dependent on age (≤47 and > 47 years). In conclusion, findings suggest that HU and stone size differ in different anatomical structures of the urinary system. In addition, differences in stone size and composition may be associated with age and sex.

RESUMO

Background and objective: Nephrolithiasis (NL) is a public health problem in the population of Southeast Mexico because of its high prevalence and recurrence. The evolution of this pathology can result in renal damage and may even cause chronic kidney disease (CKD), leading to a reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR), decreased kidney function, and kidney loss in advanced stages. However, few studies support this evidence in the population. The present study aimed to determine risk factors associated with CKD in adult patients in an endemic population of Mexico. Materials and methods: A case-control study was carried out with patients diagnosed with NL. Additionally, the clinical information of patients (age, weight, height, blood pressure, comorbidities, and time of progress of NL), characteristics of the stones (number, location, and Hounsfield units), and biochemical parameters were collected. Results: The recurrence of NL was associated with CKD (OR 1.91; 95% CI 1.37−2.27; p = 0.003). In addition, male sex (p = 0.016), surgical history (p = 0.011), bilateral kidney stones (p < 0.001), and urinary tract infections (p = 0.004) were other factors associated with CKD. Interestingly, thirty-two patients younger than 50 years old with >2 surgical events presented a significant decrease in GFR (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The recurrence of NL and the number of surgical events were risk factors associated with CKD in patients with NL treated in our population.
