| Abstract | ||
| Background : One hundred patients suffered from urinary stones underwent this prospective study, which was carried out in Al-Najaf Teaching Hospital for the period from (October, 1997– October 1998), according to their clinical signs and symptoms. Objective : The purpose of this study is to do chemical analysis of urinary stones and to assess the clinical and biochemical state of the patients. Methods : 1. Chemical analysis of the stone. 2. Biochemical Examination : a. Serum calcium. b. Serum uric acid. 3. Renal Function Test. a. Blood urea b. Serum creatinine 4. General urine examination and culture & sensitivity of urine. 5. Radiological Examination : a. Plain X-ray. b. IVU (as indicated). c. Ultrasound (US). Results : The results had showed that the average age of the patients was between (30-40) years and the male to female ratio was 4:1. It had been observed that the most significant clinical symptoms were frequency of micturition and hemacturia. Chemical analysis of the stones showed that almost all the stones contain calcium and phosphate in their composition while the uric acid found in 56% of their structure. The biochemical examination showed normal value of serum calcium in all the patients while serum uric acid was high in 20%. The radiological examination revealed the close relationship between the congenital anomalies like (unilateral agenesis of the kidney, partial bifid of the ureter, and pelvic kidney) and urinary tract stone formation. Conclusion : All stones in the current study were composed of calcium phosphate. This result is higher than other studies in Iraq. Further work is still needed on renal stones to substantiate these observations. | ||
