Year 2011, Volume: 6 Issue: 2, 13 - 16, 01.05.2011

Abstract

Objective: Urinary tract stone disease is a widespread problem that affects human health and the life quality of individuals. The objective of this study was to determine the rate of ultrasonographic kidney stone diagnosis among the patients admitted to a general urology clinic in Bingöl.Materials and methods: A number of 5700 urinary tract ultrasonographs of patients referred to our Urology Outpatient Clinic between April 2007 and June 2010 were retrospectively scanned. The age and gender of patients and the size of the stones were recorded. Stones were classified as 2 cm.Results: The mean age of the patients who participated to the study was calculated as 43.52 ± 15.6. Urinary tract stones were determined in 835 14.6% of these patients. 469 56.2% patients out of 835 were males while 366 43.8% were females. The urinary stones were determined in 109 patients 13.1% bilaterally, in 342 40.9% on the right side and in 384 46% on the left side. In 506 patients 60.6% the size of the stones was 2cm. Conclusion: Urinary tract stone disease may have a great impact on a considerable portion of the population and may cause loss of labor . Therefore, it is compulsory to be aware of the ratios of such diseases that affect the community we serve and to take necessary precautions and to develop rational diagnostic and therapeutic protocols as well

Bingöl çevresinde üroloji polikliniğine başvuran hastalardaki ultrasonografik böbrek taşı saptanma sıklığı

Abstract

Amaç: Üriner sistem taş hastalığı insan sağlığını ve bireylerin yaşam kalitesini etkileyen yaygın bir sağlık problemidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Bingöl çevresinde üroloji polikliniğine başvuran hastalarda ultrasonografi ile teşhis edilen böbrek taşı oranını tespit etmektir.Gereç ve yöntem: Nisan 2007 ile Haziran 2010 tarihleri arasında üroloji polikliniğine başvuran hastalara yapılmış olan 5700 üriner sistem ultrasonografisi retrospektif olarak tarandı. Hastaların yaşları, cinsiyetleri ve taş büyüklükleri kaydedildi. Taş büyüklükleri 2 cm olarak sınıflandırıldı.Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan hastaların yaş ortalaması 43,52±15,6 olarak hesaplandı. Bu hastaların 835’inde %14,6 üriner sistem taşı tespit edildi. 835 hastanın 469’u %56,2 erkek, 366’sı %43,8 kadın idi. Çalışmaya alınan hastaların 342’sinde %40,9 sağ, 384’ünde %46 sol ve 109’unda %13,1 bilateral böbrek taşı tespit edildi. Hastaların 506’sında %60,6 2cm taş tespit edildi.Sonuçlar: Üriner sistem taş hastalığı, toplumun büyük bir bölümünü etkilemekte ve ciddi sağlık problemlerine ve işgücü kaybına yol açmaktadır. Hizmet verdiğimiz toplumdaki hastalık oranlarını bilmek bu durumdan korunma için gerekli tedbirlerin alınması ve akılcıl tanı ve tedavi protokollerinin geliştirilmesi için gerekli bir durumdur
