A retrospective study was performed to determine the frequency and pattern of urinary stone disease in a black African population. Urolithiasis was found to be a rare condition in the black African occurring with a frequency of 6.3 per 100,000 hospital population, with a male:female ratio of 4:1. Urinary stasis and infection are associated or etiologically related factors in a significant number of patients. Idiopathic stone disease is uncommon (28% of patients). A recurrence rate of 10% is similar to that found in other areas of the world where the disease is more prevalent.
进行了一项回顾性研究,以确定非洲黑人人群中尿路结石病的发病率和发病模式。结果发现,尿路结石病在非洲黑人中较为罕见,在每10万住院人群中的发病率为6.3,男女比例为4:1。在相当一部分患者中,尿路淤积和感染是相关的或病因学上相关的因素。特发性结石病并不常见(占患者的28%)。10%的复发率与世界上其他该疾病更为普遍的地区相似。
