STUDY OF CALCIUM CREATININE RATIO IN UROLITHIASIS

Dr. Mrinal Gupta, Dr. Navanil Roy

Abstract :

Urolithiasis is one of the common cause of morbidity in human population. The metabolic defects are less likely to occur in the first time than recurrent stone formers. The present study was aimed to determine the urinary levels of calcium and creatinine in such patients. Calcium and creatinine ratio was determined to screen patients with hypercalciuria also to find out recurrent stone formers. In our research work we took 30 clinically diagnosed cases of urolithiasis and 30 age and sex matched healthy controls. Our results showed increased concentration of stone promoters such as calcium and decreased concentration of stone inhibitors such as creatinine in urine of urolithiasis patients. Observations of our research work provide some evidence regarding the role of the above mentioned ratios in the pathogenesis of urolithiasis.
