Acil servise yan ağrısı ile başvuru nedenleri ve ürolitiyaziste klinik değerlendirme

Abstract

Amaç: Yan ağrısı ile acil servise başvuran hastalardaki taş görülme sıklığı, üriner sistem taş hastalığı ile karışabilen durumlar, tanı yöntemleri, taş lokalizasyonu, taş büyüklüğü ve tercih edilen tedavi yöntemleri araştırıldı.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Acil servise dört aylık süreçte yan ağrısı ile başvuran 377 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Yan ağrısı ile acil servise başvuran hastalarda üriner sistem taş hastalığı sıklığı, cinsiyet, yaş, meslek, vücut kitle indeksi, laboratuar bulguları ve tercih edilen görüntüleme yöntemleri araştırıldı; yan ağrısında karşılaşılan patolojiler belirlendi, üriner sistem taş hastalığında taşın lokalizasyonu, büyüklüğü ve ilave patolojiler değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Yan ağrısı ile acil servise başvuran hastaların %71.4’ünde üriner sistem taş hastalığı saptandı. Acil servise yan ağrısı ile başvuran erkek hastalarda taş görülme olasılığı daha fazlaydı. Tek taraflı kostovertebral açı hassasiyeti KVAH pozitif olanlarda çift taraflı pozitif olanlara göre daha fazla oranda taş saptandı. Sonuç: Acil servise yan ağrısı ile başvuran hastaların büyük çoğunluğunda taş tespit edildi. Radyolojik olarak görüntüleme tetkiklerinden özellikle üriner sistem USG’nin çabuk ulaşılabilirliği, yan etkisinin olmaması ve ekonomik olmasından dolayı acil servis’te ilk bakıda öncelikle tercih edilmesi gerekir

The causes of emergency department visits due to flank pain and the clinical investigation of urolithiasis

Abstract

Objective: In this study, the incidence of stones, the conditions that can be confused with urolithiasis, diagnostic methods, localization and size of the stone and the preferred treatment methods in patients with flank pain were evaluated.Material and Methods: 377 patients were admitted to the emergency department with flank pain over a four-month period. The frequency of urinary tract stone disease, gender, age, occupation, body mass index, laboratory findings, the preferred diagnostic methods in patients with flank pain, the localization and size of the stones and other pathologies that is seen in patients with flank pain were evaluated.Results: 71.4% of the patients who were admitted to the emergency room with flank pain had urinary tract stone disease. Men with flank pain had higher rate of urinary stone disease than women. Patients suffering from one-sided costovertebral point tenderness CVPT had higher rate of urinary stone disease than those who suffered from two-sided costovertebral point tenderness. Conclusion: The majority of patients admitted to the emergency department with flank pain were diagnosed with urinary system stones. Ultrasonography should be preferred in the first examination in the emergency department because it is a cheap and safe method which is also easily accessible and non-invasive
