The aim of this study is to define epidemiologic and structural particularities of urinary stones in Tunisian children.
Between 1995 to 2007, 187 stones of Tunisian children were studied. Structural analysis was performed by infrared spectrophotometry.
We analyzed 187 stones from 122 boys and 65 girls. Their age ranged from two months to 18 years. Our study shows a male predominance with a sex ratio of 1,88. Stones were renal in 64.8%, ureteral in 20.6% and 14.6% were vesical. Whewellite was the main component (49,2% of stones) with a female predominance. Among phosphatic stones, carbapatite was in the lead (10.7%) followed by struvite (7%), which predominate in male.
The epidemiological profile of urinary stones in children in Tunisia is situated between that observed in developed countries and that observed in developing countries.
本研究旨在明确突尼斯儿童尿路结石的流行病学和结构特点。
1995年至2007年间,对187例突尼斯儿童结石进行了研究。通过红外分光光度法进行结构分析。
我们分析了来自122名男孩和65名女孩的187颗结石。他们的年龄从两个月到18岁不等。我们的研究显示男性占主导,性别比为1.88。64.8%的结石位于肾脏,20.6%位于输尿管,14.6%位于膀胱。水草酸钙是主要成分(占结石的49.2%),女性占主导。在磷酸盐结石中,碳磷灰石占首位(10.7%),其次是磷酸铵镁(7%),在男性中占主导。
突尼斯儿童尿路结石的流行病学特征介于发达国家和发展中国家所观察到的情况之间。
