ABSTRACT
Introduction: Outpatient metabolic evaluation is a useful diagnostic focus in the approach to urolithiasis, a disease that should be considered to be a metabolic pathology with tendency to recur.
Objective: To diagnose metabolic alterations and determine their prevalence in high recurrence risk patients along with their impact in relation to sex and age.
Methods: Descriptive study of twenty-seven patients (sixteen men and eleven women) presenting with high recurrence risk lithiasis was carried out. Calciuria, uricosuria, phosphaturia, oxaluria, citraturia, and creatinuria were quantified in 24-hour samples. Serum levels of calcium, uric acid, phosphorous, and parathyroid hormone were also determined. Student’s t test was used in the statistical analysis and statistical significance was a
P ≤ 0.05.
Results: At least one metabolic alteration was diagnosed in 74.04% (20/27) of patients and 40.7% (11/27) presented with two or more metabolic alterations. The most frequent were hypercalciuria 29.62% (8/27), hypocitraturia 29.62% (8/27), hyperoxaluria 25.9% (7/27), and hyperuricemia 22.2% (6/27). No significant differences between groups in relation to age or sex were observed.
Discussion: Reported worldwide figures for metabolic diagnoses in these patients vary from 70-95%, results that are similar to those found in the present study.
Conclusions: A total of 74.04% patients were diagnosed with some type of metabolic change, demonstrating the need for carrying out metabolic studies in high risk patients, since specific medical management of these alterations for reducing lithiasis recurrence already exists.
