Amaç: Üriner sistem taşı oluşumunda rol alan etiyolojik faktörleri belirlemek taşın tedavisi ve tekrarını önlemek açısından son derece önemlidir. Çalışmada çeşitli nedenlerle kliniğimize başvurup üriner sistem taşı saptanan hastalarda taşa eğilimi artıran faktörlerin belirlenmesi, yaş gruplarına göre hastaların demografik özelliklerinin, başvuru semptom ve bulgularının karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: 2002 ve 2010 yılları arasında farklı nedenlerle Çocuk Nefroloji Kliniğimize başvurup üriner sistem taş hastalığı tanısı konulan 109 hastanın kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir.Bulgular: Ortalama yaşları 49.2±56.0 (0.1-228) ay olan 109 hastanın 56’sı (%51.4) erkek, 53’ü (%48.6) kızdı (E/K=1.06). Hastaların 74’ünün (%67.9) ailesinde üriner sistem taşı öyküsü ve 29’unun (%26.6) anne babası arasında akrabalık vardı. Taşlar hastaların 33’ünde (%30) sağ üriner sistem, 41’inde (%38) sol üriner sistem, 35’inde (%32) ise bilateral yerleşimliydi. Hastaların 50 (%45.9)’sinde idrar yolu enfeksiyonu öyküsü vardı. Beş ve daha küçük yaştaki hastaların %78’inde ve beş yaşından büyük hastaların %48’inde olmak üzere tüm hastaların %69.7’sinde metabolik bir neden saptandı. Metabolik tetkikleri yapılan hastaların %44’ünde hiperkalsiüri, %50.6’sında hiperoksalüri, %50’sinde hipositratüri ve %37.5’inde hiperürikozüri saptandı. Ailesinde taş öyküsü olan hastalarda (%74.3) olmayanlara göre (%60.0), annebaba arasında akrabalık öyküsü olanlarda (%86.0) olmayanlara göre (%63.0) metabolik nedenler daha yüksek saptandı.Sonuç: Çocuklarda taş hastalığı nadir değildir. Özellikle ailesinde üriner sistem taşı öyküsü olan, beş ve daha küçük yaşta üriner sistem taşı saptanan çocuklar olmak üzere, üriner sistem taşı saptanan tüm çocuk hastalarda öncelikle metabolik nedenlerin araştırılması gerektiği kanaatindeyiz.
Objective: Determination of etiological factors in the development of urolithiasis is very important for treatment of urolithiasis and prevention of recurrences. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and metabolic features and risk factors of urolithiasis in children and compare the demographic features, clinical signs and symptoms of patients according to age groups. Material and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the clinical, radiological and metabolic features of 109 children with urolithiasis who had been referred to our Pediatric Nephrology Clinic between 2002 and 2010 with various clinical presentations. Results: There were 56 boys (51.4%) and 53 girls (48.6%) (M/F: 1.06). Their mean age was 49.2±56 months. A family history of urolithiasis was found in 67.9% of children. There was a history of consanguinity between the parents of 29 (26.6%) patients. The location of the urolithiasis was in the right urinary system in 33 (30%) patients, left urinary system in 41 (38%) patients, and bilateral in 35 (32%) patients. A history of urinary tract infection (UTI) was present in 45.9% of the patients. Urine analysis revealed metabolic abnormalities in 69.7% of the patients, including hypercalciuria (44.0%), hyperoxaluria (50.6%), hyperuricosuria (37.5%), and hypocitraturia (50.0%). The percentage of metabolic abnormalities was higher in patients with a family history (74.3%) than patients without a family history (60%) and also in patients with consanguinity (86%) between their parents than those with parents without consanguinity (63%). Metabolic abnormalities were more common in patients ≤ 5 years of age (78%) than in patients > 5 years of age (48%). Conclusion: Urolithiasis is not rare in children. Metabolic factors should be investigated in all children with the diagnosis of urolithiasis and especially in patients ≤5 years old and with a family history of urolithiasis

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
