title: [Evaluation of biogeochemical factors influence on the prevalence of urolithiasis in the regions of Tajikistan].
abstract: The investigation has been undertaken to study a relationship between some biogeochemical and environmental factors and nephrolithiasis morbidity in the regions of Tajikistan. The paper presents the data of a comprehensive study comprising the biochemical, chromatographic, and mass-spectrometric studies of 1180 patients aged 14 to 76 years, treated at the Dushanbe Urology Medical Center. The performed examination has established a relationship of the higher urolithiasis mortality rates in the poor environmental regions of the Republic of Tajikistan to the high pollution by organic and inorganic substances, the high natural mineralization and hardness of water, the high levels of chlorides, sulfates, and other components of salt composition, which in turn affects the course of a pathological process.
