[Establishment and primary clinical application of metabolic evaluation database of urolithiasis].

ABSTRACT

Objective: To establish the metabolic evaluation database of urolithiasis, perform metabolic evaluation, and provide instructions for treatment and prevention of urolithiasis. Methods: This metabolic evaluation database was developed by JAVA and was established by Oracle11g database and Browser/Server framework. We extracted the clinical data of all patients who had complete information, and analyzed their risk factors of stone formation, stone-related medical history, blood and urine tests results and 24-hour urine analysis. Results: A total of 360 patients diagnosed as urolithiasis were included in this research. Male to female ratio was 1.9∶1, and the urolithiasis was first diagnosed at (35.5±13.5) years old. Family history was positive in 39.7% of patients. Metabolic syndrome occurred in 35.0% of patients. Overweight or obesity occurred in 73.2% and 50.0% of male patients, respectively. Abdominal obesity in 62.3% and 56.1% of male and female patients, respectively. Among all patients, 67.5% had high urine sodium, 53.6% had hypercalciuria, 41.1% had hypocitraturia, 29.7% had hyperuricosuria, 22.5% had hypomagnesuria, 15.8% had hyperoxaluria, 11.7% had hyperphosphoraturia, and 36.4% had low urinary volume. Conclusions: The prevalence of overweight or obesity, abdominal obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome in stone patients were significantly higher than those in general population. The number of 24-hour urinary abnormalities was positively associated with body mass index. The interventions on high urinary sodium, low urinary volume, obesity and metabolic syndrome were important to the treatment of urolithiasis. This database would facilitate the metabolic evaluation, provide evidence for the treatment and prevention of urolithiasis, and lay foundation for finding important controllable risk factors of urinary stone.
