Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Back ground: Geographic variation in the rate of urinary stone has been observed in developing countries. Though etiology of renal stone is not well understood but some precipitating factors like urinary infection, less fluid intake, dietary habit and metabolic factors has been observed common among the members of ‘Border Guard Bangladesh’ (BGB). They mostly remain in the remote areas of the country having common supplied food items with prolong exposure of precipitating factors of stone formation. This observation leads to undertake this study to see the distribution or urinary stones among BGB members. Methodology: Cross sectional observational study was done at Peel Khana BGB hospital from July 2015 to June 2017. Patients were selected by history taking, clinical examination and investigations. All the patients having urinary stone were included in this study. Results: Among 56 patients 42 (75%) patients were male and 14 (25%) were female and male female ratio was 3:1. Age ranges were 18yrs to 78yrs. With a mean of 32+ 2.3 yrs. Common presenting symptom was pain (83.92%). Other symptoms were recurrent UTI (33.92%), haematuria (19.64%) and dysuria (32.14 %). According to location of stone 15 (26.78%) in the renal calyx, 9 (16.07%) found in the pelvis, 17 (30.35%) situated in the ureter, 12 (21.42%) found in the urinary bladder and 3 (5.35%) found in the urethra. Bilateral presence of stone found in 6 (10.71%) cases. Conclusion: Urinary stones are predominantly found in male and frequently presented with urinary colic. Upper tract stone is more common than lower tract. Regular evaluation with renal screening is needed to find out prevalence of urinary stones among Border Guard Bangladesh members.
