Nephrolithiasis is a highly prevalent pathology, affecting 15% of men and 6% of women in industrialized countries. The main efforts in the field of urolithiasis are aimed at reducing the incidence and rate of recurrence, especially considering the low costs associated with prophylactic treatment and prevention of the disease compared to those associated with stone extraction. In this context, in the Central Laboratory of the Maciel Hospital, a study of the profile of risk factors presented by patients who form kidney stones is carried out.
In the present work, a study of the risk factors, prior to the start of preventive treatment, was carried out in 140 patients who attended between 2009 and 2012. Low diuresis and hypocitraturia were found to be the main risk factors. Ninety-four percent of the population studied presented at least one metabolic or environmental risk factor. Moreover, from a thermodynamic point of view, all the patients studied showed that they could spontaneously form at least one type of crystal.
