[A clinical study of urolithiasis in Shizuoka City Hospital--stone analysis and 24-hour urine calcium and uric acid levels].
Stone analysis was performed for 216 urinary calculi which were obtained from 205 patients in our hospital from January, 1980 to June, 1984. The results revealed 161 calcium stones, 21 uric acid stones, 19 struvite stones, 2 cystine stones and 13 others. Sixty one of the 205 patients (male 44, female 17) and 19 controls (male 11, female 8) were investigated for 24-hour urine calcium and uric acid. Forty seven of the patients had calcium stones, 7 of the patients had uric acid stones and 7 of the patients had struvite stones. The mean 24-hour urine calcium level was 146.8 +/- 76.5 mg/day for the male controls and 139.1 +/- 69.9 mg/day for the female controls. The mean 24-hour urine uric acid level was 528.1 +/- 132.6 mg/day for the male controls and 362.0 +/- 135.2 mg/day for the female controls. The mean 24-hour urine calcium level for the male calcium-stone group was 214.6 +/- 96.8 mg/day, and it was significantly higher than that for the male controls (p less than 0.05). The 24-hour urine analysis revealed abnormalities in 17 urolithiasis patients (27.9%) including hypercalciuria in 11 patients (18.0%) and hyperuricosuria in 9 patients (14.1%).
