ABSTRACT
Background: To identify the metabolic risk factors for the development of urinary lithiasis (UL) in children from Yucatan, Mexico.
Methods: Case-control study, which included children, aged ≤ 15 years with and without UL confirmed by ultrasound. Controls did not have any antecedent of either UL or any other disease. Blood and urine samples were collected; indexes for calciuria, uricosuria, phosphaturia, and magnesuria were calculated. Four age- and sex-matched groups were made.
Results: Two hundred fifty five children were studied (85 cases and 170 controls). In each group, 56.5% were male. According to age, kids were allocated in four groups. For group I, uricosuria and the H
+ urine concentration were greater for cases than for controls (
p ‹ 0.05); for groups II, III, and IV, only the uricosuria showed a significant difference (
p ‹ 0.05). The average pH was 5.5 for all groups. When comparing the frequencies of metabolic alterations, hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and hyperuricosuria were different (
p ‹ 0.05); however, when comparing cases and controls by age group, only shows differences in hyperuricosuria in groups II (
p = 0.004) and III (
p = 0.04).
Conclusion: The hyperuricosuria is the first risk factor for the development of UL in the studied population.
