[Clinical observation of urolithiasis in Mie University Hospital].
The urinary tract calculus patients seen at our Department between January, 1974 and December, 1983 were reviewed to determine the trend of urolithiasis. The urinary tract calculus patients accounted for 10.1% of all the outpatients. Recurrent calculus diseases were seen in 16.9% of male patients and in 12.1% of female patients. The frequency of recurrence was very high in the patients in their forties. Upper urinary tract calculi were seen most frequently in the patients in their forties. We could expect spontaneous passage of stone for at least 6 months in the case of a middle-sized stone (less than 6 X 10 mm). The percentage of calcium oxalate-containing stone was 73.2% in male patients and the percentage of phosphate-containing stones was 81.6% in female patients. Hypercalciuric patients were seen in 34.0% of the calculus inpatients. Urinary bacterial culture revealed positive in 33.0% of the calculus inpatients.
