We performed a cross-sectional study on 25 children (17 boys) with urolithiasis with normal glomerular functions at a tertiary care teaching hospital between March, 2018 to March, 2019. Dietary assessment showed that caloric intake was below recommended dietary allowance (RDA) in 68% patients while the median protein intake was 34.3% more. The fluid intake was below the recommended standards in 56%, and 48% of the children had urine output below 1.5 mL/kg/hour. The urinary sodium was elevated in 96% of the children, urinary potassium was low in 40%, and hypercalciuria was seen in 28%. While metabolic causes predominate in childhood urolithiasis, other factors like dietary changes, liberal fluid and low sodium intake are advised for prevention of recurrences as they have a contributory role too.
我们在 2018 年 3 月至 2019 年 3 月期间在一家三级教学医院对 25 名(男 17 名)具有正常肾小球功能的结石患儿进行了横断面研究。饮食评估显示,68%的患儿热量摄入低于推荐膳食摄入量(RDA),而中位数蛋白摄入量则多 34.3%。56%的患儿液体摄入量低于推荐标准,48%的患儿每小时尿量低于 1.5 毫升/公斤。96%的患儿尿钠升高,40%的患儿尿钾降低,28%的患儿出现高钙尿症。虽然代谢原因在儿童结石中占主导地位,但其他因素如饮食变化、自由液体和低钠摄入也被建议用于预防复发,因为它们也有一定的作用。
