“…Kidney acts as a first barrier filter for crystals, thereby damaging tubular epithelium, which acts as a nidus for the stone formation. However, our result was different from the study of Venkatramana who observed the increased frequency of ureteric stone [ 32 ]. This variation might be due to selection of the patients irrespective of site of the stones.…”

Background. The occurrence of urinary tract infection in presence of urolithiasis is frequently noted; however, microbial agents of urolithiasis and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns remain underinvestigated. This study aimed to identify the microorganisms isolated from urine and stone matrices to determine their antimicrobial susceptibility, to find the association between the pathogens of urine and stone matrices, and to perform the biochemical analysis of stones. Methods. A total of 88 cases of urolithiasis admitted for elective stone removal at Department of surgery, B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS), were enrolled. Preoperative urine culture and postoperative stone culture were performed. Isolation, identification, and AST were done by the standard microbiological technique. Further qualitative biochemical analysis of stones was also attempted. Result. Among 88 stone formers recruited, culture of urine, whole stone, and nidus yielded the growth of bacteria 44, 32, and 30, respectively. Bacteria isolated from urine culture correlated with those from stone matrices with a sensitivity of 90%, specificity of 79.69%, PPV of 63.64%, and NPV of 95.45%. Escherichia coli (46.7%) was the most common bacteria followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (16.7%) and Proteus mirabilis (13.3%) from urine and stone cultures. Almost all the uropathogens isolated were susceptible to commonly used antibiotics. Calcium oxalate (84.1%) was common biochemical constituent found in stone formers followed by calcium oxalate + phosphate (8%). Conclusions. The association of microorganism isolated from urine and nidus culture was significant that can predict the source of infective stone; however, in some cases, microorganisms and the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern from urine and nidus were different. This study emphasizes the use of appropriate antimicrobial agents to prevent the regrowth of residual stones and minimize the risk of infectious complications after surgical removal of stones.

“…This can be caused by several factors, including lack of fluid consumption and weather, where the productive age group is required to keep on activities in hot weather. 10 Vigilance against urinary tract infections in this age group can accelerate the diagnosis of disease, especially in patients with unspecific complaints fever.…”

In urology, urogenital disorders include all male and female urinary tract and male genital organ abnormalities. These disorders can be an infections, blockages due to foreign bodies, dysfunction due to pathological or degenerative processes, trauma, neoplasms, or congenital disorders. This research was a retrospective descriptive study to determine the number of patient visits with urogenital disorders. The place of this research was ER of DHAAN General Hospital, Tanah Bumbu District, South Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The research data was taken from data on new patient visits to the ER in 2017. The number of patient visits with urinary tract disorders was 475 cases: male 57.1% and female 42.9%. The most cases based on the type of disorder was UTI (38.9%), second was urolithiasis (25.3%), and third was CKD (23.4%). While the number of patient visits with male genital disorders was 79 cases. Most cases was BPE (86.1%). Knowing the number of patient visits with urogenital disorders will make the clinicians be directed in preparing themselves for urogenital emergencies in their respective health services. Keywords: DHAAN, number of visits, urogenital disorders, urology.

“…Despite urolithiasis is a multifactorial disease, the study of the propensity towards the crystallization of stone forming salts in urine still remains the easiest strategy for the urologist to estimate the propensity towards the relapses of stone disease in individual patients [3]. In this paper, we described the biochemical analysis of the stones done in cases operated for urolithiasis in our institute [4] Objective: To study and determine the composition of stones by biochemical analysis in cases of urinary tract calculus.…”

Background & Method: The present study was conducted at Department of General Surgery, Index Medical College, Hospital & Research Center, Indore (M.P.). A total of 30 study subjects (post operated cases of urolithiasis) were selected from the surgical ward in Index Hospital from period of 12 months with an aim to Biochemical Analysis of Stones in cases of Urinary Tract Calculus. Result: A total of 46 renal stones were analyzed, from 30 patients. In 30 patients, 18 were Males and 12 Females. The Bio-chemical analysis of renal stones revealed the presence of mixed stones with highest present of Calcium Oxalate stones, followed by uric acid stones. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that in Index Medical College and Hospital a significant proportion of renal stones were containing calcium oxalate as constituent and were non phosphate in composition. The study concluded that the biochemical composition of renal calculi is important during the treatment of renal stone disease and reducing the recurrence by avoiding promoters of stone formation. Keywords: Biochemical, Stones, Urinary Tract & Calculus.
