Analysis of the renal calculus composition and urine physical and chemical indexes / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the proportion of different types of stones in patients with kidney stones in Xinjiang, and to analyze the relationship between stone composition and urine physicochemical properties and protein composition.Methods Through a case-control study, 355 patients with kidney stones who were hospitalized in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People′s Hospital from March to November 2010 were enrolled in the same period, and non-urinary tract diseases were hospitalized and excluded from other diseases or complications of the 30 cases of renal impairment in the control group.The composition of the stones was analyzed.The main components of the stones were divided into oxalate group, carbonic acid group, uric acid group and phosphate group.The physicochemical properties and protein composition of 24 h urine were analyzed by ion selective electrode method, enzymatic and immunoturbidimetric assay.The difference between the two samples was analyzed by t test, and the differences between the two groups were analyzed by F-test and LSD-t test.Results Compared with the control group(30 cases), urine pH(5.33±0.32) was significantly lower in the oxalate group (244 cases), 24 h urinary calcium and 24 h uric acid[(7.68±0.35) mmol, (3.48±0.23)mmol (pH=5.874,P9.436, P8.442,P<0.05).Conclusion There may be a correlation between renal stone composition with urine metabolic changes.
