Abstract:
Introduction. Urolithiasis is not a simple disease, but it is a group of metabolic and endocrine disorders in the organism, coupled with changes in the urinary tract. Objectives. Research on the etiopathogenesis of urolithiasis; to analyze parathyroid hormones, to determine citrates in urine; their influence on the occurrence of urolithiasis. Research and the role of infection in the occurrence of urolithiasis, clinical symptoms, diagnostic methods, prevention methods and as well as preventive measures. Materials and methods. The research was conducted on our patients at the Urology Clinic, University Clinical Center of Kosovo, in Pristina. The work was prospective; in our research, we included 102 patients. Results. Our research has increased Parathormone in 5, 88% of cases. We had hypocitraturia in 57, 84% of cases. Hypocyturia then affects the creation of conditions for the crystallization and aggregation of stoneforming substances. Urolithiasis includes both sexes, primarily men 66, 7%, and women 33.3%. With X2- test we obtained a significant difference with statistical significance in the number of cases by gender (X2 = 11.3, P = 0.001). The most attacked age group was 40-49 years old. Symptoms are dominated by colic, nephralgia, dysuria, and hematuria. In this research, we have 22.5% of positive results of urine cultures. Conclusion. Therefore, there is still no explanation about the pathogenesis of urolithiasis, and with the knowledge of the etiopathogenesis of urolithiasis, symptoms, clinic, metabolic disorders and pathomorphology of urolithiasis, prophylactic measures can be taken, and urolith recurrence can be prevented.
