Urinary calculus is not uncommon in black Africans as shown by the experience of one hospital in a large town such as Kinshasa. The causation remains mostly undetermined. Populations along the Zaire river appear to be more affected. Chemical composition is classic. Clinical features are aggravated in Africans by serious complications requiring more surgical procedures. Although urinary schistosoma is an endemic disease in Zaire, it was not associated with urolithiasis.
正如金沙萨这样的大城市中一家医院的经验所示，尿路结石在非洲黑人中并不罕见。其病因大多仍未明确。刚果河沿岸的人群似乎受影响更大。化学成分是典型的。在非洲人当中，临床特征因严重并发症而加重，需要更多的外科手术。尽管尿路血吸虫病在扎伊尔是一种地方病，但它与尿石症并无关联。
