Silicate urolithiasis is rare in humans (0.2%) but common in herbivorous animals. We report a previously unreported instance in India where a pediatric patient with renal pelvic calculus who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy was found to have silicate urolithiasis on stone analysis. Retrospective analysis did not reveal any risk factors associated with silicate stone formation.
硅酸盐尿路结石在人类中较为罕见(0.2%),但在食草动物中很常见。我们报告了印度一例此前未报告的病例,一名接受经皮肾镜取石术的肾盂结石儿科患者,结石分析显示为硅酸盐尿路结石。回顾性分析未发现与硅酸盐结石形成相关的任何危险因素。
