“…17,18 Specifically, kidney stone affects approximately one in 20 people in Spain and 1 in 25 in China, while the prevalence reaches up to 9.1% in the United States and 16.9% in Northeast Thailand. 3,[19][20][21] In the present study, the prevalence was determined to be 3.61% in the six randomly selected towns of Shunyi District, and is consistent with the findings of the first national survey of kidney stone in China (4.0%). 3 Unfortunately, we collected 3361 subjects without collecting information about how they were distributed in the six towns.…”

“…Furthermore, the highest prevalence was found in the Northeast provinces, where the prevalence was up to 16.9% for the age range of 40 -50 years, the incidence was more common in males than females by up to 2 times, and the rates of recurrence within 2 years after the surgery were 39%. 5,6 Kidney stone disease usually recurs, and it poses difficulty in management and burdensome medical costs. 7 Recurrence rates as high as 50% within 10 years have been documented.…”

In this work, a simple and inexpensive paper-based colorimetric device (cPAD) was developed for oxalate measurements. The colorimetric assay is based on the formation of formazan via the reduction of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) by oxalate decarboxylase and formate dehydrogenase on the paper device. After the sample was spotted on the device, MTT changed color from yellow to purple, and the purple color intensity correlated with the oxalate concentration. The quantitative detection of oxalate ranged from 10 -1000 μM, with a linear equation, y = 0.0086x + 34.978, and a correlation coefficient (R 2 ) = 0.9994. The detection limit was 10 μM by the naked eye. The recoveries of oxalate spiked in artificial urine samples evaluated by our cPADs were in the range of 81 -92%. This simple cPAD for rapid and sensitive oxalate determination should be useful for diagnostic urinary oxalate measurements for point-of-care monitoring.

“…2 Geographic variation in the rates of urinary stones has been observed for many years not only among countries with higher rates in industrialized nations compared with developing and Third World countries 3 Countries of the region show wide variations in prevalence and the site of stone disease. [4][5][6][7] The etiology of urinary calculus is still not well understood but clearer concepts are gradually emerging with recent research. Stones are merely not life threatening because today's medical practice is extremely adept at removing most of the risk of passing a stone.…”

Objectives:To study the basic clinical pattern of urinary stone disease in our setting.Study design: Descriptive study. Subjects: A total of 257 urolith patients with different stone burden enrolled in the study.Methodology: Structured and standardized history and clinical investigations collected in all of urolith patients. The diagnosis of stone disease was based on history, physical examination followed by KUB x-ray, ultrasonography and IVU .All patients subjected to open stone surgery. The data were analyzed prospectively with outcome measures of gender, stone location, clinical presentation and operative procedures. Results:Out of 257 patients 181 (70.42%) were male and 76 (29.56%) female with male to female ratio of 2.3:1.The age ranged from 1 year to 80 with the mean of 25.8 years. The peak incidence of upper urinary tract stones was in 20-30 years while lower urinary tract stones in both sexes were under 10 years (Table 1). Anatomical distribution of stone showed 116 (45.16%) renal, 21 (8.17%) ureteric, 108 (42%) bladder and 12 (4.66%) urethral calculi ( Table 2). The commonest clinical presentation was that of pain in 67.31% of patients associated with haematuria in 26.7% of cases. Clinical urinary tract infection (UTI) was in 15% and 8.9% of patients had spontaneous stone passage (lithuria). The symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) including retention of urine were in 7% of cases. Calculus anuria was in 1.9% of cases and 8.1% patients had asymptomatic stones. Bilithiasis (chole-nephrolithiasis) was in 5% of cases (Table 3). Open stone surgery included 84 (32.68%) simple pylolithotomies, 15 (5.83%) extended pylolithotomies, 6 (2.33%) pylolithotomy and pyloplasty, 5 (1.94%) nephrolithotomy, 6 (2.33%) nephrectomies, 21 (8.17%) uretrolithotomy, Cystolithotomy was 113 (43.96%) cystolithotomy, 2 (0.77%) urethrolithotomy and meatotomy in 5 (1.94%) of patients. Conclusion:Urolithiasis is increasing problem with high frequency of bladder stones and male predominance in our part of Sindh province. Open surgery is still needed to treat the patients where modern and minimally invasive therapeutic modalities are out of reach and non-availability in public sector. Establishment of modern stone clinics in rural setup is the need of today's medical practice.

Incidence of Urolithiasis in Northeast Thailand

Abstract: Background: Urolithiasis is a major health problem in the northeast part of Thailand. In this study, we examined the prevalence of renal stone disease and differences of urinary components between ston? formers and healthy control subjects in northeastern rural areas of Thailand.
