Abstract

Objective: Urinary stone disease is a common health problem in the industrialized countries. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of urolithiasis in Tokat district. Materials and methods: Between August 2005 and February 2006, a urinary system ultrasonography was performed in 1,095 participants recruited from Tokat. Stone disease history, age, sex and body weight were recorded. The relation between urinary stone disease and risk factors such as obesity, age, and sex were assessed. Results: Renal stones were detected with urinary ultrasonography in 44 (4.02%) participants. Additionally, there was a history of urinary stone disease in 125 (11.42%) participants. There was a significant relationship between urinary stone disease and an increased age and body mass index (p<0.05). The development of renal stone and degree of hardness of water was not significantly associated in people with a history of stone disease. Conclusion: Urinary stone disease affects 4% to 20% of the population. It leads to serious social problems in the industrialized countries and further comprehensive epidemiological studies are warranted for prevention of the disease and evaluation of the treatment protocols.

Özet

Amaç: Üriner sistem taş hastalığı gelişmiş ülkelerde yaygın bir sağlık problemidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Tokat yöresinde üriner sistem taş hastalığı prevalansını saptamaktır. Gereç ve yöntem: Ağustos 2005 ila Şubat 2006 arasında Tokat ilinde kaydı yapılan 1,095 katılımcıya üriner sistem ultrasonografisi yapıldı. Taş hastalığı hikayesi, yaş, cinsiyet ve vücut ağırlıkları kaydedildi. Üriner sistem taş hastalığının obezite, yaş, cinsiyet gibi bazı risk faktörleri ile ilişkileri değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Üriner ultrasonografi ile 44 katılımcıda (%4.02) böbrek taşları tespit edildi. Ek olarak, toplam 125 (%11.42) katılımcıda üriner sistem taş hastalığı öyküsü vardı. Üriner sistem taş hastalığı ile artmış yaş ve vücut kitle indeksi arasında anlamlı ilişki saptandı (p<0.05). Daha önceden taş öyküsü bulunan kişilerde, taş gelişimi ile suyun sertlik derecesi arasındaki ilişki istatistik olarak anlamlı değildi. Sonuç: Üriner sistem taş hastalığı toplumun %4-20’sini etkilemektedir. Gelişmiş ülkelerde ürolitiyazis ciddi sosyal problemlere yol açmakta ve bu durumdan korunma ve tedavi protokollerinin değerlendirilmesi için geniş epidemiyolojik çalışmalara ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır.
