Uric acid and renal stone composition in the area of Split
Fabijan Vlašić
Sažetak
This review presents the results obtained by the examination of renal stone patients in the area of Split. There were 191 patients suffering from kidney stones and 109 in the control group, who had never suffered from the stone disease. The stones were analyzed by infrared spectrometry. The patients were ranged into 5 groups according to the main stone components. The level of uric acid in blood and in 24-hour-urine was also controlled. The blood analysis showed significantly higher average values of uric acid in stone formers (361.64 (imol/1), compared to the average values in the control group (325.04 umol/1). Hyperuricuria was found in 77.59% of patients with uric acid and urate stones and in 46.15% of patients with the stones composed of uric acid and other compounds. The patients in other three groups had much lower a percentage of hyperuricuria. In the control group hyperuricuria was found in 46.37% of cases. Since the members of the control group have a significant level of hyperuricuria, and yet do not form kidney stones, emphasis is put on the crystallization inhibitors as a factor in preventing the aggregation of crystals and the formation of stones. The authors emphasize hyperuricuria as an important factor in the urate stone formation, whereas its importance in the formation of other stone types is not so great.
