Introducción: La litiasis urinaria es una enfermedad común, cuya prevalencia se incrementa a escala nacional y planetaria. Objetivos: Conocer la composición de las urolitiasis en pacientes adultos cubanos y su relación con los trastornos metabólicos renales. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, transversal. Universo constituido por los pacientes cubanos de 19 años y más de edad, que se realizaron estudio de composición de urolitiasis en el Instituto de Nefrología Dr. Abelardo Buch, de La Habana, Cuba, en el período comprendido de 2011-2020. De ellos 443 se habían realizado estudio metabólico renal. Los datos fueron recogidos de los informes de resultados, de composición de litiasis y de estudio metabólico. Se utilizó análisis de distribución de frecuencias, y para identificar las relaciones, el test independencia. Resultados: En cuanto a la composición química, predominaron las litiasis de oxalato de calcio. Los trastornos metabólicos más frecuentes fueron excreción de sodio aumentada (46,7 por ciento) y volumen urinario bajo (29,3 por ciento). La frecuencia de pacientes con litiasis cálcicas, fue superior en los que tuvieron excreción de sodio aumentada (78,3 por ciento), y en los que presentaron hipercalciuria (83,3 por ciento), en contraste con las frecuencias de este tipo de litiasis, en los que no presentaron dichos trastornos (p=0,03 en ambos casos). Conclusiones: Las urolitiasis más comunes en adultos cubanos son las cálcicas, especialmente las de oxalato de calcio. Los trastornos metabólicos más frecuentes son: excreción urinaria aumentada de sodio, volumen urinario bajo y pH urinario ácido. La presencia de litiasis cálcicas se relaciona con excreción urinaria aumentada de sodio y con hipercalciuria(AU)
Introduction: Urinary lithiasis is a common disease, whose prevalence is increasing on a national and planetary scale. Objectives: To know the composition of urolithiasis in Cuban adult patients and its relationship with renal metabolic disorders. Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional study. Universe constituted by Cuban patients aged 19 and over, who underwent a composition study of urolithiasis at the Dr. Abelardo Buch Institute of Nephrology, in Havana, Cuba, in the period 2011-2020. In 443 of them, a renal metabolic study had also been carried out. The data were collected from the results reports of stone composition and metabolic study. Frequency distribution analysis was used, and the independence test was used to identify relationships. Results: Regarding chemical composition, calcium oxalate stones predominated. The most frequent metabolic disorders were increased sodium excretion (46.7percent) and low urine volume (29.3percent). The frequency of patients with calcium stones was higher in those with increased sodium excretion (78.3percent) and in those with hypercalciuria (83.3percent), in contrast with the frequencies of this type of lithiasis, in those who did not present these disorders (p=0.03 in both cases). Conclusions: The most common urolithiasis in Cuban adults are calcium ones, especially those of calcium oxalate. The most common metabolic disorders are: increased urinary sodium excretion, low urinary volume and acid urinary pH. The presence of calcium lithiasis is related to increased urinary sodium excretion and hypercalciuria(AU)

Introducción: La urolitiasis se ha incrementado en las últimas décadas. La enfermedad renal poliquística autosómica dominante (ERPAD), enfermedad renal hereditaria más frecuente, ocupa un lugar preponderante. Objetivos: Identificar la frecuencia de presentación de los trastornos metabólicos urinarios en pacientes litiásicos cubanos con ERPAD y sin ella Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, transversal. Fueron estudiados 579 pacientes adultos sin ERPAD, seleccionados por muestreo simple aleatorio y los 21 pacientes con ERPAD, del total de pacientes con litiasis urinaria que se realizó estudio metabólico renal en el Laboratorio de Fisiopatología Renal del Instituto de Nefrología, en el periodo 2010-2015. Los datos fueron tomados de la historia clínica y del informe de estudio metabólico renal. La información se procesó de forma automatizada (SPSS 22.0). Se utilizó el promedio, desviación estándar, análisis de distribución de frecuencias y el test de homogeneidad. Resultados: En los pacientes con ERPAD predominó el sexo femenino (57,1 por ciento), mientras que en los pacientes sin ERPAD, el masculino (63,4 por ciento). Los trastornos más frecuentes en la población no poliquística fueron hipercalciuria (45,3 por ciento) e hipofosfatemia (17,1 por ciento). En los poliquísticos, aclaramiento aumentado de ácido úrico (38,1 por ciento) e hipercalciuria (23,8 por ciento). Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas para aumento del aclaramiento de ácido úrico (p = 0,01) e hiperfosfatemia (p = 0,04). Conclusiones: Los principales trastornos metabólicos de los pacientes litiásicos, tanto poliquísticos como no poliquísticos, son el aclaramiento de ácido úrico aumentado, hipercalciuria, hiperuricosuria e hipofosfatemia, aunque el orden de presentación es diferente. El aclaramiento de ácido úrico aumentado y la hiperfosfatemia se presentan con mayor frecuencia en los pacientes litiásicos poliquísticos(AU)
Introduction: Urolithiasis has increased in recent decades. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most common of all hereditary kidney diseases, occupies a predominant position in terms of incidence. Objectives: Identify the frequency of occurrence of urinary metabolic disorders in Cuban urolithiasis patients with and without ADPKD. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted of 579 adult patients without ADPKD selected by simple random sampling, and 21 patients with ADPKD, from the total urolithiasis patients undergoing renal metabolic evaluation at the Renal Physiopathology Laboratory of the Institute of Nephrology in the period 2010-2015. Data were obtained from medical records and reports of renal metabolic studies. Information was processed with the statistical software SPSS version 22.0. Average and standard deviation were estimated and use was made of frequency distribution analysis and homogeneity testing. Results: A predominance was found of female sex among patients with ADPKD (57.1 percent) and male sex among patients without ADPKD (63.4 percent). The most common disorders were hypercalciuria (45.3 percent) and hypophosphatemia (17.1 percent) in the non-polycystic population, and increased uric acid clearance (38.1 percent) and hypercalciuria (23.8 percent) in polycystic patients. Statistically significant differences were found in uric acid clearance increase (p = 0.01) and hyperphosphatemia (p = 0.04). Conclusions: The main metabolic disorders of lithiasis patients, polycystic as well as non-polycystic, are increased uric acid clearance, hypercalciuria, hyperuricosuria and hypophosphatemia, with a varying order of presentation. Increased uric acid clearance and hyperphosphatemia are more common in polycystic lithiasis patients(AU)

Resumen Introducción: La hipercalciuria idiopática se define como la excreción de calcio superior a 220 y 300 mg/día en mujeres y hombres respectivamente o bien mayor a 4 mg/kg peso bajo dieta habitual. Objetivo: Revisar el diagnóstico, clasificación y tratamiento del paciente hipercalciúrico con litiasis renal. Material y métodos: Se incluyeron 250 pacientes con litiasis renal e hipercalciuria idiopática y 80 individuos sanos como controles. Todos realizaron un estudio bioquímico para litiasis renal. Resultados: Si bien el estándar de oro es la medición de la calciuria en 24 h, en el presente estudio sugerimos considerar también la relación Ca/Kg >4 mg/Kg o bien el índice de calciuria >140 mg/gr de creatinina urinaria. Con respecto a los tipos de hipercalciuria, luego de someterlos a una dieta restringida, los dividimos en hipercalciuria dieta dependiente y dieta independiente del calcio. Con respecto al tratamiento sugerimos una diuresis entre 2 y 2 ½ litros/d. En casos de hipercalciuria dieta dependiente aconsejamos una dieta de 600-800 mg de calcio y moderada restricción de proteínas animales y sal. En caso de no respuesta y en aquellos con hipercalciuria dieta independiente, el agregado de tiazidas, clortalidona, indapamida y ocasionalmente bisfosfonatos pueden controlar la hipercalciuria con menor riesgo de recurrencia de litiasis renal y un mejor estado óseo. Conclusiones: Consideramos importante no solo tener en cuenta las distintas formas de diagnóstico de hipercalciuria sino también la clasificación de esta, que permita un tratamiento más específico.
Abstract Introduction: Idiopathic hypercalciuria is defined as urine calcium excretion greater than 220 mg/day in women and 300 mg/day in men, or greater than 4 mg/kg under regular dietary conditions. Objective: The aim of this study is to review the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of hypercalciuric patients with renal lithiasis. Methods: We enrolled 250 patients suffering from renal lithiasis and idiopathic hypercalciuria and 80 healthy subjects as control group. Lab tests were performed to diagnose renal lithiasis. Results: Although the 24-hour urine test is the gold standard to determine calciuria, in this study we propose considering the Ca/Kg >4 mg/Kg ratio or an index of >140 mg of Ca per gram urine creatinine. Regarding the different types of hypercalciuria, after following a strict diet, subjects were divided into two groups: diet-dependent and diet-independent hypercalciuria. Concerning the treatment, we suggest diuretic therapy to achieve a urine output of 2-2.5 liters per day. In the case of subjects with diet-dependent hypercalciuria, we advise an intake of 600-800 mg of calcium and a moderate reduction in animal protein and salt intake. In cases of non-response to treatment in subjects with diet-dependent hypercalciuria, thiazides, chlorthalidone, indapamide and, in some cases, bisphosphonates may help control hypercalciuria with a lower risk of lithiasis recurrence and healthier bones. Conclusions: We believe it is important to consider not only the methods to diagnose hypercalciuria but also its classification to provide a better treatment.

Resumen Justificación y objetivo: La litiasis renal se debe a la precipitación de cristales por un desequilibrio en la orina entre sustancias promotoras y las sustancias inhibitorias. Es una patología con una prevalencia entre 2-10% en la población pediátrica, con una incidencia que ha aumentado en los últimos 25 años; razón por la cual este estudio pretende conocer la prevalencia, las manifestaciones clínicas y metabólicas de la litiasis renal en la población pediátrica del Hospital Nacional de Niños de Costa Rica. Métodos: Es un estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo y observacional, mediante la revisión de expedientes de pacientes menores a 18 años con el diagnóstico de litiasis renal, atendidos en el Hospital Nacional de Niños, en el periodo comprendido entre enero del año 2000 al 2018. Resultados: Se incluyeron un total de 106 pacientes. El 57,5% hombres, la edad promedio al diagnóstico de 6,6 ± 3,8 años; la frecuencia de casos se ha incrementado en 5,5 veces en los últimos 5 años. Factores de riesgo detectados: anormalidades del tracto urinario 22,6% y antecedentes familiares de litiasis 17,9%. El análisis metabólico mostró un gasto urinario bajo en el 74,3%, hiperfosfaturia en un 43,2%, hipomagnesuria 39,2% e hipercalciuria 37,8%. Etiologías determinadas: metabólica 54,7%, malformaciones de las vías urinarias 16% e idiopática en un 30,9%. La litotricia intracorpórea se aplicó en un 61,2%. La recidiva se observó en el 28,5% de los casos, se encontró relación entre la incidencia de recidiva con el tamaño del lito (p = 0,001) y el tratamiento quirúrgico. (p = 0,010). Conclusiones: Existe un aumento en la frecuencia de casos de litiasis pediátrica con una etiología multifactorial en el Hospital Nacional de Niños de Costa Rica.
Abstract Background and aim: Renal lithiasis is due to the precipitation of crystals due to an imbalance in the urine between promoter substances and inhibitory substances. It is a pathology with a prevalence between 2-10% in the pediatric population, with an incidence that is increasing in the last 25 years, because of that, this study pretend to know the prevalence, the clinical and metabolic, manifestation of the renal lithiasis in the pediatric population. Methods: It is a retrospective, descriptive and observational study, by reviewing records of patients under 18 years of age with a diagnosis of renal lithiasis, treated at the Hospital Nacional de Niños, in the period of 2000 to 2018. Results: A total of 106 patients were included, 57,5% men, the average age at diagnosis of 6,6+- 3,8 years, the frequency of cases has increased 5,5 times in the last 5 years. Risk factors detected: urinary trac abnormalities 22,6% and family history of nephrolithiasis 17,9%. The metabolic analysis showed a low urinary flow rate in 74,3%, hyperphosphaturia in 43,2%, hypomagnesuria 39,2% and hypercalciuria 37,8%. Etiologies determined: metabolic 54,7%, malformations of the urinary trac 16% and idiopathic in 30,9%. Intracorporeal lithotripsy was applied in 61,2%.

Abstract Thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics are widely used for the management of hypercalciuria among stone-forming patients. Although the effects of different thiazides should be relatively similar in terms of prevention of stone recurrence, their potency and side effects may differ. However, there is scarce data concerning the metabolic and bone effects of these agents among recurrent nephrolithiasis patients with hypercalciuria. The aim of this update article was to compare our experience in the use of thiazide and thiazide- like diuretics with that of the current literature, concerning their anticalciuric properties and consequent reduction of recurrent stone formation. Their impact on bone mass and potential side effects were also discussed.
Resumo Diuréticos tiazídicos e tiazídicos-like são amplamente usados para o tratamento da hipercalciúria em pacientes com formação de cálculos. Embora os efeitos dos diferentes tiazídicos devam ser relativamente semelhantes em termos de prevenção da recorrência do cálculo, sua potência e efeitos colaterais podem ser diferentes. No entanto, há poucos dados sobre os efeitos metabólicos e ósseos desses agentes em pacientes com nefrolitíase recorrente com hipercalciúria. O objetivo deste artigo de atualização foi comparar nossa experiência quanto ao uso de tiazídicos e tiazídicos-like com a publicada na literatura atual, no que diz respeito às suas propriedades anticalciúricas e consequente redução da formação de cálculos recorrentes. Discutimos também seu impacto na massa óssea e potenciais efeitos colaterais.

Abstract Objective: To describe the dietary patterns and occurrence of metabolic disorders in children and adolescents with urolithiasis treatment at a referral hospital in southern Brazil in order to learn the features of urolithiasis in this population to better develop preventive actions. Methods: Descriptive study conducted between 2016 and 2017 in a tertiary care referral hospital. Fourty patients aged 2-19 years old with urolithiasis proven by imaging were included. Clinical and dietary data were obtained through interviews and medical records. For statistical analyses, the chi-squared test was performed. Results: 40 individuals were analyzed. Mean age at diagnosis was 7.2 ± 4 years. 25% were overweight or obese. 95% had metabolic disorders, hypocitraturia being the predominant type. Protein intake was adequate in all participants and carbohydrate intake, in 70% of them; 37.5% had lipid intake above recommended and 65% had low fiber intake. The mean daily sodium intake was 2.64 g (±1.74), with 55% of participants ingesting more than the recommended amount. A total of 52.5% had low potassium intake, with a mean of 4.79 g/day (±2.49). Calcium intake was adequate in 27.5%. No significant differences were identified in relation to mean daily consumption among participants with or without the various metabolic disorders. Conclusion: Pediatric urolithiasis is often accompanied by metabolic disorders; therefore, metabolic evaluation should be part of the diagnostic process and subsequent analysis of these patients' dietary patterns, helping to optimize treatment and prevent recurrences and complications.
Resumo Objetivo: Descrever o padrão alimentar e a ocorrência de distúrbios metabólicos em crianças e adolescentes portadoras de urolitíase acompanhadas em hospital de referências no sul do Brasil a fim de conhecer as particularidades da urolitíase nessa população para melhor desenvolver ações de prevenção. Métodos: Estudo observacional descritivo realizado entre 2016 e 2017 em centro de referência em atenção terciária. Foram selecionados 40 pacientes de dois a 19 anos com urolitíase comprovada por exame de imagem. Dados clínicos e alimentares foram obtidos através de prontuário e entrevista. Para análise estatística, utilizou-se o teste qui-quadrado. Resultados: Foram analisados 40 indivíduos, 55% masculinos. Idade média ao diagnóstico 7,2 ± 4 anos; 25% tinham sobrepeso ou obesidade; 95% tinham distúrbios metabólicos, predominou a hipocitratúria. O consumo proteico e de carboidratos foi adequado em 100% e 70% dos participantes, respectivamente, 37,5% apresentaram ingestão de lipídeos acima do recomendado e 65% apresentaram ingestão de fibras alimentares abaixo do recomendado. O consumo diário médio de sódio foi de 2,64 g (± 1,74), com 55% acima do recomendado; 52,5% apresentaram baixa ingestão de potássio com média de 4,79 g/dia (± 2,49). O consumo de cálcio foi adequado em 27,5%. Não foram identificadas diferenças significativas em relação ao consumo médio diário dos nutrientes entre os participantes com ou sem os diversos distúrbios metabólicos. Conclusões: A urolitíase pediátrica é frequentemente acompanhada de distúrbios metabólicos, o que confirma a necessidade de avaliação metabólica adequada ao diagnóstico e análise do padrão alimentar a fim de identificar erros alimentares, aprimorar o tratamento desses distúrbios e prevenir recorrências e complicações.

Introducción: La hipercalciuria idiopática es un trastorno metabólico frecuente y poco reconocido, cuyo curso clínico depende en gran medida de cambios en los hábitos dietéticos desde la infancia. Objetivo: Caracterizar a niños y adolescentes con hipercalciuria idiopática según variables clínicas, epidemiológicas y terapéuticas. Métodos: Se realizó una investigación observacional, longitudinal y prospectiva de 44 pacientes con hipercalciuria idiopática, atendidos en el Servicio de Miscelánea del Hospital Pediátrico Docente Sur Antonio María Béguez César de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero de 2014 hasta diciembre de 2015. Resultados: Las formas sintomáticas de la enfermedad resultaron ser las más frecuentes (68,2 %); asimismo, predominó el sexo masculino (72,7 %) y el promedio de edad fue de 7,2 ± 4 años. Existió asociación estadística entre las edades preescolar y escolar en cuanto al diagnóstico de hipercalciuria idiopática. La hematuria macroscópica recurrente fue el síntoma más usual en la mayoría de los casos (59,1 %); en tanto, 25,0 % de los pacientes presentó litiasis renal y el tratamiento no farmacológico a base de líquidos y dieta se relacionó con una evolución satisfactoria en 68,2 % de los afectados, a pesar de que el restante 31,8 % necesitó tratamiento medicamentoso. Conclusiones: Las características clínicas y epidemiológicas de los pacientes con hipercalciuria idiopática de esta casuística no difirieron de las registradas a nivel mundial, considerando que este trastorno metabólico es relativamente frecuente en los servicios de pediatría.
Introduction: The idiopathic hypercalciuria is a frequent and not very recognized metabolic disorder which clinical course depends in great extent on changes in the dietary habits from the childhood. Objective: To characterize children and adolescents with idiopathic hypercalciuria according to the clinical, epidemiological and therapeutic variables. Methods: An observational, longitudinal and prospective investigation was carried out in 44 patients with idiopathic hypercalciuria, assisted in the Miscellaneous Service of Antonio María Béguez Cesar Southern Teaching Children Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January, 2014 to December, 2015. Results: The symptomatic forms of the disease were the most frequent (68.2 %); also, the male sex prevailed (72.7 %) and the average age was 7.2 ± 4 years. Statistical association existed among the preschool and school ages as for the diagnosis of idiopathic hypercalciuria. The recurrent macroscopic hematuria was the most usual symptom in the majority of cases (59.1 %); as long as, the 25.0 % of patients presented renal lithiasis and the diet and liquids-based non pharmacological treatment was associated with a satisfactory evolution in 68.2 % of the affected patients, although the remaining 31.8 % needed drugs treatment. Conclusions: The clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients with idiopathic hypercalciuria of this case material didn't differ from the ones registered worldwide, taking into account that this metabolic disorder is relatively frequent in pediatric services.

La hipercalciuria idiopática se define como la excreció;n de calcio superior a 220 y 300 mg/día en mujeres y hombres respectivamente o bien mayor a 4 mg/kg peso. En mujeres con osteoporosis se observa en el 19% de los casos, mientras que en litiasis renal varía entre el 50 y 70%. Seleccionamos 206 pacientes hipercalció;ºricos, de nuestra base de datos, con y sin litiasis renal, a los que se les había indicado una dieta restringida. Luego los dividimos, de acuerdo a la respuesta, en dieta dependiente y dieta independiente. De estos solo consideramos 122 pacientes con diagnó;sticos de hipercalciuria dieta-dependiente (105 mujeres y 17 hombres), que fueron seguidos con control dietario (800 mg de calcio, alrededor de 1 g de proteínas animales y < 100 mEq de sodio diarios). No se consideró; la aparició;n de cálculos, o la recurrencia de los mismos, como tampoco el compromiso ó;seo. Luego de una media de 17 meses todos tenían controlada la calciuria e incluso hubo 16 (13%) que luego de 42 meses de seguimiento persistían normocalció;ºricos solo con dieta. Concluimos que es fundamental la divisió;n de las hipercalciurias, segó;ºn su respuesta a una dieta restringida, con el fin de evitar o postergar el uso de diuró;©ticos y sus efectos adversos, con una administració;n adecuada de la dieta.
Idiopathic hypercalciuria is defined as calcium excretion greater than 220 and 300 mg / day in women and men respectively, or greater than 4 mg / kg body weight. In women with osteoporosis it is observed in 19% of cases, while in kidney stones cases varies between 50 and 70%. We selected 206 hypercalciuric patients from our database, with and without renal lithiasis, to whom a restricted diet had been indicated. We divided them, according to the response, into a dependent diet and an independent diet. We considered 122 patients with diagnosis of hypercalciuria diet dependent (105 women and 17 men), which were followed with dietary control (800 mg of calcium, around 1 g of animal proteins and < 100 mEq sodium a day). The appearance of stones, or the recurrence of stones, was not considered, nor was bone involvement. After an average of 17 months, everyone had their calciuria controlled and there were even 16 (13%) who, after 42 months of follow-up, continued to be normocalciuric only on a diet. We conclude that the division of the hypercalciurias is fundamental, according to their response to a restricted diet, in order to avoid or postpone the use of diuretics and its adverse effects, with an adequate management of the diet.

Introducción: La hipercalciuria idiopática es una alteración metabólica relativamente frecuente y existen escasas publicaciones de su relación con la infección del tracto urinario. Objetivos: Precisar si existe asociación entre la infección urinaria e hipercalciuria idiopática para determinar si esta alteración metabólica constituye un factor de riesgo de infección urinaria. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo longitudinal prospectivo en pacientes de edad pediátrica con diagnóstico de infección urinaria atendidos en el Hospital Pediátrico Universitario William Soler entre 1ro. enero de 2016 y 31 de diciembre de 2017. Dos semanas después de controlada la infección se recogió muestra de orina de la primera micción del día para determinación de índice calcio/creatinina y precisar la excreción de calcio en 24 horas. Si esta prueba arroja resultados positivos, entre dos y cuatro semanas posteriores, se repite la muestra y si ambas son positivas y el calcio en sangre es normal se diagnostica hipercalciuria idiopática. Resultados: Se incluyeron en el estudio 130 pacientes. En 43,8 por ciento se encontró hipercalciuria idiopática. En su primer episodio infeccioso se estudiaron 52,3 por ciento y los restantes con antecedentes de infección o recurrencia. En 86,2 por ciento la infección fue catalogada como pielonefrítica. La distribución por sexo de la hipercalciuria no mostró diferencia y el síntoma hematuria con dolor abdominal recurrente resultó sugestivo de infección asociada a hipercalciuria (p < 0,05). El germen infectante no contribuye a pensar en hipercalciuria. Conclusión: La hipercalciuria idiopática constituye un factor predisponente de infección del tracto urinario(AU)
Introduction: Idiopathic hypercalciuria is a relatively frequent metabolic alteration and there are scarce publications on its relation with the urinary tract´s infection. Objective: To specify if there is a relation between urinary infection and idiopathic hypercalciuria, in order to determine if this last one constitutes a risk factor of urinary infection. Methods: Prospective, descriptive and longitudinal study in pediatric age's patients with a diagnosis of urinary infection that were attended in William Soler University Pediatric Hospital from January 1st, 2016 to December 31st, 2017. After two weeks of the infection being controlled, a urine sample from the first micturition of the day was collected to determine calcium/creatinine index and to specify calcium excretion in 24 hours. If this test shows positive results, after two to four weeks the sample is repeated, and if both are positive and calcium level in blood is normal, so idiopathic hypercalciuria is diagnosed. Results: 130 patients were included in the study. In 43.8 percent idiopathic hypercalciuria was found. 52.3 percent were studied during the first infectious episode, and there is presented a history of infection or recurrence. In 86.2 percent of the patients, the infection was catalogued as pyelonephritis. Hypercalciuria´s gender distribution didn't show any differences, and the symptom called hematuria with recurrent abdominal pain was suggestive to an infection related to hypercalciuria (p < 0.05). The infectious germ does not induce to think in hypercalciuria. Conclusions: Idiopathic hypercalciuria constitutes a predisposing factor of urinary tract's infection(AU)

Introducción: La hematuria es el hallazgo clínico más frecuente entre las enfermedades genitourinarias, después de las infecciones del tracto urinario a cualquier edad. Objetivo: Identificar las características generales y etiología de la hematuria monosintomática en pacientes pediátricos. Métodos: Investigación descriptiva longitudinal y prospectiva con los pacientes atendidos con hematuria monosintomática en el Servicio de Nefrología del Hospital Pediátrico Docente William Soler entre el primero de enero de 2014 y 31 de diciembre de 2015. Resultados: Se reclutaron 45 pacientes. Predominó en escolares (40 por ciento) y adolescentes (40 por ciento), sexo masculino (55,5 por ciento). Se recogió el antecedente personal o familiar de hematuria en 44,5 por ciento y 55,5 por ciento, respectivamente. La urolitiasis familiar estuvo presente en 37,7 por ciento. El tipo de hematuria más frecuente fue la macroscópica (75,8 por ciento), no glomerular (71,2 por ciento), sin proteinuria (77,8 por ciento), y hematíes eumórficos (62,2 por ciento). La causa más frecuente fue la hipercalciuria idiopática (51,1 por ciento) y el 80 por ciento de todos los pacientes solo recibió tratamiento higieno-dietético. En 20 por ciento de los pacientes no se pudo precisar la causa etiológica. Conclusiones: La causa más frecuente de hematuria fue no glomerular (hipercalciuria idiopática) y en aquellos con hematuria cuya causa etiológica no se pudo precisar, es obligado mantener un seguimiento prolongado(AU)
Introduction: Hematuria is the most frequent clinical finding among genitourinary diseases afterwards urinary tract infection at any age. Objective: To identify general characteristics and etiology of monosymptomatic hematuria in in pediatrics patients. Methods: Descriptive, longitudinal and prospective research of the patients by monosymptomatic hematuria attended at the Nephrology service in William Soler Teaching Pediatric Hospital from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2015. Results: 45 patients were recruited. Schoolchildren (40 percent) were predominant and adolescents (40 percent), and males (55.5 percent). It was collected personal or familial records of hematuria in 44.5 percent and 55.5 percent, respectively. Familial urolithiasis was present in 37.7 percent. The most common type of hematuria was the macroscopic (75.8 percent), non-glomerular (71.2 percent), without proteinuria (77.8 percent) and with eumorphic hematies (62.2 percent). The most frequent etiological cause was idiopathic hypercalciuria (51.1 percent), and 80 percent of all patients only received hygiene-dietetic treatment. In the 20 percent of the patients was not possible to determine the etiological cause. Conclusions: The most frequent cause of hematuria was non-glomerular (idiopathic hypercalciuria); and in those patients with hematuria of non-precised etiological cause, it is mandatory to keep long-term follow-up(AU)

Resumen La sarcoidosis es una enfermedad granulomatosa crónica relacionada frecuentemente con antígenos ambientales e infecciones. Sin embargo, no se ha logrado identificar una causa clara en todos los escenarios. Por su parte, la amiloidosis secundaria se caracteriza por el depósito de proteína amiloide AA en los diferentes tejidos, la cual se asocia a procesos inflamatorios crónicos. Es supremamente infrecuente coincidir con estas dos enfermedades ya que no existe una relación de causalidad directa. A continuación presentamos un caso de un paciente con hallazgos de esta rara asociación.
Abstract Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disease, frequently attributed to environmental antigens (organic and inorganic) and infections. However, it is quite common not to find a clear cause behind this pathology. Alternatively, secondary amyloidosis is characterized my Amyloid AA protein deposition in different tissues, which is associated with chronic inflammation. Nonetheless, it is extremely uncommon to find both sarcoidosis and secondary AA amyloidosis simultaneously provided that there is no a clear causality relationship between both. We present an interesting case of a patient with this uncommon duality.

Resumen Introducción: La hipercalciuria suele revelarse durante el diagnóstico diferencial de la hematuria que acompaña a la litiasis renal. La exactitud diagnóstica de la excreción urinaria de calcio puede afectarse por las insuficiencias asociadas con la colección de orina de 24 horas. En este estudio se evaluó la utilidad diagnóstica del índice calcio/creatinina (ICaCre) en la estimación de la hipercalciuria asociada con hematuria y litiasis renal. Método: Se calculó el ICaCre de las concentraciones urinarias de calcio (mmol/l) y creatinina (µmol/l) en una alícuota de colección de 24 horas de orina en 169 niños y adolescentes atendidos por hematuria no glomerular (HNG) o litiasis renal (LR). La calciuria de 24 horas > 4.0 mg/kg en 24 horas se distribuyó según la presencia de HNG o LR. Resultados: El ICaCre promedio fue de 0.2 ± 0.1 mg/mg. La excreción urinaria de calcio estimada del ICaCre fue significativamente superior a la obtenida en colección de orina de 24 horas (p < 0.05). Los métodos de determinación de la calciuria concordaron en la frecuencia de hipercalciuria (ICaCre 39.5% vs. colección de 24 horas 32.1%; p > 0.05). Según la presencia de HNG o LR, la hipercalciuria se distribuyó de la siguiente manera: no HNG + no LR: 59%; no HNG + LR: 60% (diferencia: +1.0%); HNG + no LR: 68.2% (diferencia: +9.2%); HNG + LR: 73.3% (diferencia: +14.4%). Conclusiones: El ICaCre para estimar la excreción urinaria de calcio puede ser efectivo en el estudio de la hipercalciuria asociada con HNG y LR.
Abstract Background: Hypercalciuria might be revealed during the differential diagnosis of hematuria accompanying renal lithiasis (RL). In spite of this, diagnostic accuracy of calcium urinary excretion might be affected by incomplete 24-hour urine collections. In the present study, the diagnostic utility of calcium/creatinine (ICaCre) index for determining hypercalciuria associated with non-glomerular hematuria (NGH) and RL was assessed. Method: ICaCre (mg/mg) index was calculated from calcium (mmol/l) and creatinine (µmol/l) concentrations in an aliquot from a 24-hour urine collection in 169 children and adolescents with NGH or RL. Calciuria values > 4.0 mg/kg in 24 hours were distributed according to the presence of NGH or RL. Results: Mean ICaCre index was 0.2 ± 0.1 mg/mg. Calciuria values estimated from ICaCre were statistically higher to those from 24-hour urine collection (p < 0.05). The frequency of hypercalciuria was independent from the measurement method (estimated from ICaCre 39.5% vs. 24 h collection 32.1%; p > 0.05). Hypercalciuria distribution was as follows: no NGH + no RL: 59.0%; no NGH + RL: 60.0% (∆ = +1.0%); NGH + no RL: 68.2% (∆ = +9.2%); NGH + RL: 73.3% (∆ = +14.4%). Conclusions: The use of ICaCre index for determining calcium urine excretion might be effective in the study of hypercalciuria associated with NGH and RL.

Abstract: Background: The prevalence of pediatric urolithiasis varies from 0.01-0.03%. Urolithiasis may be caused by anatomical, metabolic and environmental factors. Recurrence varies between 16 to 67%, and it is frequently associated with metabolic abnormalities. The objective of the present work was the identification of risk factors that promote urolithiasis in a child population. Methods: This study included 162 children with urolithiasis and normal renal function (mean age 7.5 years). Risk factors were investigated in two stages. In the first stage, 24-hour urine, and blood samples were analyzed to assess metabolic parameters and urinary tract infection. During the second stage, the effect of calcium restriction and a calcium load on renal Ca excretion were evaluated. Data were statistically analyzed. Results: Urolithiasis was observed in 0.02% of children, 50% of them with family history of urinary stones. There were multiple risk factors for urolithiasis including hypocitraturia (70%), hypomagnesuria (42%), hypercalciuria (37%; in 11/102 was by intestinal hyperabsorption, in 13/102 was unclassified. Ca resorption or renal Ca leak were not detected). We also detected alkaline urine (21%), systemic metabolic acidosis (20%), urinary infections (16%), nephrocalcinosis with urolithiasis (11%), oliguria (8%), urinary tract anomalies, hyperuricosemia and hypermagnesemia (7% each one), hypercalcemia (6%), hyperoxaluria (2%) and hypercystinuria (0.61%). Conclusions: Hypocitraturia and hypomagnesuria were the most frequent risk factors associated with urolithiasis, followed by hypercalciuria. High PTH values were excluded. Children presented two or more risk factors for urolithiasis.
Resumen: Introducción: La prevalencia de urolitiasis pediátrica varía de 0.01-0.03%. Las causas de urolitiasis pueden ser anatómicas, metabólicas o ambientales. Las recurrencias varían entre 16 a 67%, y están frecuentemente asociadas con alteraciones metabólicas. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue la identificación de factores de riesgo que promueven la urolitiasis en una población infantil. Métodos: Se incluyeron 162 niños con urolitiasis y función renal normal, cuya edad media fue de 7.5 años. Los factores de riesgo fueron investigados en dos etapas. En la primera, con la muestras de orina de 24 h y sangre, se investigaron parámetros metabólicos e infecciones del tracto urinario. En una segunda etapa se valoró la calciuria, previa restricción seguida de carga de Ca. Los hallazgos fueron analizados estadísticamente. Resultados: Se presentó urolitiasis en el 0.02% de los niños con historia familiar en el 50%. Se observó hipocitraturia (70%); hipomagnesuria (42%); hipercalciuria (37%; en 11/102 fue por hiperabsorción intestinal; en 13/102 fue inclasificable; no se observó hipercalciuria por resorción o pérdida renal). También se observó orina alcalina (21%); acidosis metabólica sistémica (20%); infecciones urinarias (16%); nefrocalcinosis con urolitiasis (11%); oliguria (8%); anomalías urinarias congénitas, hiperuricosemia e hipermagnesemia (7% cada una); hipercalcemia (6%); hiperoxaluria (2%); e hipercistinuria (0.61%). Conclusiones: La hipocitraturia e hipomagnesemia fueron los factores de riesgo con mayor frecuencia, seguidos de hipercalciuria. Se excluyeron los valores de hiperparatiroidismo. Los niños exhibieron dos o más factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de urolitiasis.

Resumo A prevalência da nefrolitíase está aumentando em todo o mundo e resulta em ônus significativo para o sistema de saúde. Novos estudos revelam que a formação de cálculos urinários está associada a várias morbidades graves. No entanto, poucos estudos observacionais ou ensaios clínicos randomizados de qualidade demonstraram que intervenções clínicas específicas diminuem a recorrência da nefrolitíase. Portanto, nesta revisão são analisadas as evidências disponíveis da terapia médica expulsiva para cálculos ureterais; avaliam-se os dados da terapêutica não farmacológica, incluindo modificações dietéticas e terapia à base de sucos cítricos; e discute-se a eficácia dos diuréticos tiazídicos no tratamento da hipercalciúria associada à nefrolitíase recorrente.
Abstract The prevalence of kidney stone disease is increasing worldwide with significant health and economic burden. Newer research is finding that stones are associated with several serious morbidities. Yet, few randomized clinical trials or high quality observational studies have assessed whether clinical interventions decrease the recurrence of kidney stones. Therefore, in this review we analyze the available evidence on medical expulsive therapy for ureteral stones; describe the evidence about non-pharmacological stone therapy including dietary modifications and citrus juice-based therapy; and discuss the efficacy of thiazide diuretics for the treatment of hypercalciuria in recurrent nephrolithiasis.

Resumo Introdução: A urolitíase pediátrica tornou-se mais prevalente nas últimas décadas, com altas taxas de recorrência e considerável morbidade. A maioria das crianças com urolitíase idiopática tem uma anormalidade metabólica subjacente e a investigação adequada permite intervenções terapêuticas para reduzir a formação de novos cálculos e suas complicações. Objetivos: Identificar características demográficas e clínicas da urolitíase pediátrica, a etiologia, condutas terapêuticas, recidiva da doença e evolução dos pacientes em um hospital infantil de cuidados terciários. Métodos: Estudo descritivo e retrospectivo com pacientes pediátricos internados no Hospital Infantil Joana de Gusmão, Florianópolis, SC, Brasil, com diagnóstico de urolitíase, no período de janeiro 2002 a dezembro de 2012. Dados foram obtidos dos prontuários e foram incluídos aqueles com diagnóstico confirmado por exame de imagem e urina 24h ou amostra única urinária. Resultados: Foram avaliados 106 pacientes (65%M) pediátricos. Idade média ao diagnóstico 8,0 ± 4,2 e 85% tinham história familiar positiva para urolitíase. Dor abdominal, cólica nefrética clássica e infecção urinária foram as principais manifestações. 93,2% tinham alteração metabólica, sendo a hipercalciúria a mais comum. Tratamento farmacológico foi instituído em 78% dos casos. Utilizou-se citrato de potássio e hidroclorotiazida. Tratamento cirúrgico foi realizado em 38% dos pacientes. Houve resposta ao tratamento em 39% deles, com recidiva da urolitíase em 34,2%. Apenas 4,7% dos pacientes continuaram acompanhamento, 6,6% foram encaminhados para outros serviços, 8,5% receberam alta e 73,8% perderam acompanhamento. Conclusão: A urolitíase pediátrica merece avaliação metabólica detalhada após sua apresentação inicial para tratamento, acompanhamento e prevenção da formação lítica e de suas complicações.
Abstract Introduction: Pediatric urolithiasis has become more prevalent in recent decades, with high recurrence rates and considerable morbidity. Most children with idiopathic urolithiasis have an underlying metabolic abnormality and proper research provides therapeutic interventions to reduce the formation of new stones and its complications. Objective: To identify demographic and clinical characteristics of pediatric urolithiasis, etiology, treatment management, disease recurrence and patient outcomes in a tertiary care pediatric hospital. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of pediatric patients admitted to the Hospital Infantil Joana de Gusmão in Florianópolis, SC, Brazil, who were diagnosed with urolithiasis, from January 2002 to December 2012. Data were obtained from medical records. Those patients with diagnosis confirmed by imaging and 24hr urine or single sample urine were included. Results: We evaluated 106 pediatric patients (65% M). Average age at diagnosis was 8.0 ± 4.2 and 85% of them had positive family history of urolithiasis. Abdominal pain, renal colic and urinary tract infection were the main manifestations. 93.2% had metabolic abnormality and hypercalciuria was the most common. Pharmacological treatment was established in 78% of cases. Potassium citrate and hydrochlorothiazide were used. Surgical treatment was performed in 38% of patients. There was response to treatment in 39% of patients with recurrence of urolithiasis in 34.2% of them. Only 4.7% of patients continued follow-up, 6.6% were referred to other services, 8.5% were discharged and 73.8% lost follow-up. Conclusion: Pediatric urolithiasis deserves a detailed metabolic evaluation after their initial presentation for treatment, monitoring and prevention of its formation and its complications.

INTRODUCCIÓN: las litiasis urinarias constituyen un problema de salud. La recurrencia de ellas hace necesario implementar estrategias preventivas, para lo cual es indispensable conocer la frecuencia de los diferentes trastornos metabólicos renales. OBJETIVOS: identificar los disturbios metabólicos más frecuentes en la enfermedad litiásica urinaria y la posible relación de estos con características de los pacientes. MÉTODOS: estudio observacional analítico, transversal. Se estudiaron 3 655 pacientes adultos con litiasis urinaria, que se realizaron estudio metabólico renal en el Instituto de Nefrología entre los años 2003 y 2009. Las determinaciones analíticas fueron realizadas por técnica espectrofotométrica, según las normas del servicio. Toda la información se procesó mediante el paquete estadístico SPSS versión 15.0. Se utilizó la técnica de análisis de distribución de frecuencias. Las relaciones entre las variables se identificaron mediante el test de independencia. RESULTADOS: los principales trastornos metabólicos encontrados fueron: hiperuricemia (48,2 %), hipercalciuria (45,1 %) e infección del tracto urinario (16,2 %). La hipercalciuria y la hiperuricosuria fueron menos frecuentes en los sujetos mayores de 42 años (p= 0,01). La hipercalciuria, la hiperoxaluria y la hiperuricosuria resultaron más frecuentes en los hombres (p= 0,00), mientras la hipocitraturia tuvo mayor frecuencia en las mujeres (p= 0,04). La hiperuricosuria se encontró con mayor frecuencia en pacientes sobrepesos y obesos (p= 0,00), y la hiperoxaluria fue más frecuente entre los sobrepesos (p= 0,01). CONCLUSIONES: en los pacientes con litiasis renal los trastornos metabólicos más frecuentes son hiperuricemia, hipercalciuria e infección del tracto urinario. Los menores de 43 años tienen más hipercalciuria e hiperuricosuria. Los hombres tienen mayor frecuencia de hipercalciuria, hiperoxaluria e hiperuricosuria y las mujeres, de hipocitraturia. La frecuencia de presentación de hiperoxaluria, hiperuricosuria e hipocitraturia se encuentra relacionada con el estado nutricional de los sujetos.
INTRODUCTION: the recurrence of urinary lithiasis is a health problem needing the implementation of preventive strategies, thus knowing the frequency of the different renal metabolic disorders is essential. OBJECTIVES: To identify the most common metabolic disorders in urinary lithiasic disease and their relationship with patient characteristics. METHODS: an analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted in 3655 adult patients with urolithiasis. A renal metabolic study was conducted at the Institute of Nephrology from 2003 to 2009. The analytical determinations were performed by spectrophotometric technique according to the standards of service. All information is processed using SPSS version 15.0. The technique of frequency distribution analysis was used. Relationships between variables were identified by the test of independence. RESULTS: The main metabolic disorders found were: hyperuricemia (48.2%), hypercalciuria (45.1%), and urinary tract infection (16.2 %). Hypercalciuria and hyperuricosuria were less frequent in subjects older than 42 years (p= 0.01). Hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria and hyperuricosuria were more frequent in men (p= 0.00), while hypocitraturia was more frequent in women (p= 0.04). Hyperuricosuria was found more frequently in overweight and obese patients (p= 0.00), and hyperoxaluria was more frequent among overweight subjects (p= 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with renal lithiasis the most common metabolic disorders are hyperuricemia, hypercalciuria, and urinary tract infection. All subjects younger than 43 years suffered hypercalciuria and hyperuricosuria. Men have higher frequency of hypercalciuria, hyperuricosuria and hyperoxaluria. Women have higher frequency of hypocitraturia. The frequency of submission of hyperoxaluria, hyperuricosuria and hypocitraturia is related to the nutritional status of these subjects.

INTRODUCCIÓN: la hipercalciuria constituye el principal trastorno metabólico en la litiasis urinaria. Su diagnóstico implica recolección de orina de 24 horas con riesgo de errores y se ha utilizado el índice calcio creatinina como marcador de hipercalciuria. OBJETIVOS: determinar la validez de este indicador como marcador de hipercalciuria. MÉTODOS: se realizó un estudio descriptivo, transversal por la importancia del diagnóstico de la hipercalciuria y los desacuerdos en la utilidad del índice calcio creatinina y su punto de corte óptimo. Se estudiaron 1603 sujetos litiásicos cubanos entre 2 y 19 años, a los que se les mensuró calciuria de 24 horas e índice calcio creatinina de la segunda orina de la mañana. RESULTADOS: se obtuvo correlación positiva moderada entre las variables. Para los valores de corte tradicionales del índice calcio creatinina, la sensibilidad fue 95,7 % y 81,9 %, y la especificidad 48,3 % y 66,7 %, para niños y adolescentes, respectivamente. CONCLUSIONES: el índice calcio creatinina es útil como prueba de despistaje poblacional de hipercalciuria, sin embargo para la confirmación diagnóstica se requiere ineludiblemente la mensuración de la calciuria por recolección de orina de 24 horas.
INTRODUCTION: hypercalciuria is the main metabolic disorder in urolithiasis. Diagnosis involves collecting urine for 24 hours with risk of errors and calcium creatinine ratio has been used as a marker of hypercalciuria. OBJECTIVES: determine the validity of this indicator as a hypercalciuria marker. METHODS: a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted due to the importance of the diagnosis of hypercalciuria and disagreements on the utility of calcium creatinine ratio and optimal cutoff. 1603 Cuban lithiasic subjects were studied. Their age ranged between 2 and 19 years. 24 hour urinary calcium and calcium- creatinine ratio of the second morning urine were studied. RESULTS: moderate positive correlation between variables was obtained. For values of traditional cutting of calcium creatinine ratio, sensitivity was 95.7% and 81.9%, and specificity 48.3% and 66.7% for children and adolescents, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: calcium creatinine ratio is useful as evidence of population screening for hypercalciuria, however for diagnostic confirmation the measurement of urinary calcium is inevitably required by collecting urine for 24 hours.

Introducción. La hipercalciuria idiopática (HI) predispone al desarrollo de infección del tracto urinario (ITU); sin embargo, hay escasa información local sobre dicha asociación. Nuestros objetivos fueron estimar la prevalencia de HI en niños con ITU y evaluar si esta difería según la presencia o no de reflujo vesicoureteral (RVU). Complementariamente, analizamos la asociación entre HI y la ingesta de sal. Población y métodos. Determinamos la calciuria a pacientes menores de 18 años con ITU estudiada (ecografía y cistouretrografía miccional) y ausencia de causas secundarias de hipercalciuria. Consideramos HI al cociente calcio/creatinina > 0,8; 0,6; 0,5 y 0,2 en niños de 0-6 meses, 7-12 meses, 12-24 meses y en los mayores de 2 años, respectivamente; e ingesta elevada de sodio, al cociente sodio/potasio urinario > 2,5. Resultados. En 136 pacientes (87 niñas, mediana de edad 3 años), la prevalencia de HI fue de 20%. Los pacientes con (n= 54) y sin (n= 82) RVU fueron similares en género, peso, talla, edad al diagnóstico y al momento del estudio, características clínicas (hematuria, nefrolitiasis, dolor cólico y recurrencia de ITU), antecedentes familiares de nefrolitiasis y en la prevalencia de HI (26% vs. 16%, p= 0,24). Los niños hipercalciúricos presentaron ingesta elevada de sodio más frecuentemente que los normocalciúricos (76% vs. 46%, p= 0,007). Conclusiones. La prevalencia de HI en niños con ITU fue alta (20%) y no difirió entre los pacientes con y sin RVU. Sería recomendable la búsqueda de HI en los niños con ITU, independientemente de la presencia o no de RVU.
Introduction. Idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH) predisposes to urinary tract infections (UTIs); however, there is scarce local information regarding such association. Our objectives were to estimate IH prevalence in children with UTI and to assess whether there were differences in relation to the presence or absence of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Additionally, the association between IH and salt intake was studied. Population and Methods. Calciuria was determined in patients younger than 18 years old on whom UTI had been studied (ultrasound and voiding cystourethrogram), and who had no secondary causes of hypercalciuria. IH was defined as a calcium to creatinine ratio of >0.8, 0.6, 0.5 and 0.2 in children aged 0 to 6 months old, 7 to12 months old, 12 to 24 months old and older than 2 years old, respectively; and a high sodium intake with a urinary sodium to potassium ratio of >2.5. Results. IH prevalence among 136 patients (87 girls, median age: 3 years old) was 20%. Patients with VUR (n= 54) and without VUR (n= 82) had similar characteristics in terms of sex, weight, height, age at diagnosis and age at the time of the study, and clinical features (hematuria, nephrolithiasis, colicky pain, and recurrent UTI), family history of kidney stone formation, and IH prevalence (26% versus 16%, p= 0.24). A high sodium intake was more frequently observed in children with hypercalciuria than in those with normal urine calcium levels (76% versus 46%, p= 0.007). Conclusions. IH prevalence in children with UTI was high (20%), with no differences observed between patients with and without VUR. As a recommendation, the presence of IH should be detected in children with UTI, regardless of VUR presence or absence.
