Urolithiasis: Experience at Multicenter Hospitals in Peshawar, their Diagnostic and Therapeutic Aspects

Abstract

Background: Urolithiasis is a common condition with a wide range of presentations and associated morbidity. Diagnosing and managing urolithiasis requires understanding the pathophysiology, imaging modalities, and therapeutic options available.

Objectives:  To determine the Daignostic and Therapeutic Aspects of Urolithiasis

Materials and Methods: 116 urolithiasis patients receiving care in the urology department in urology at multicenter hospitals lrh and ikd Peshawar participated in this multicenter study kind of future study from December 2015 to December 2021. Patient selection was based on clinical and para-clinical exams. For the anonymous use of data and photos for scientific purposes, informed agreement of the patient or their parents (for children) was sought.

Results: 06% (116/2038) of the urological diseases were urolithiasis. With a sex ratio of 4.05 to 1, there was considerable male dominance. With a staff of 33 29%, the 0–1–11–year age range was the most impacted. Dysuria predominated in the clinic at 45%, renal colic at 34%, and hematuria at 10%. 63% of the anatomical location was in the bladder. The majority of the treatment was medical and surgical. A mortality rate of 3% was documented.

Conclusion: Urolithiasis is a significant public health issue all over the world. The treatment relied on open surgery due to the inadequate technology platform. The absence of a sophisticated laboratory platform made etiological investigation unfeasible.
