Resumo: Introduction: Urinary stone disease is one of the most common disorders of the urinary tract. However, the main risk factors and chemical composition of urinary stones in the population of the Azores are unknown. The objective of this study was to define the most important factors associated with the formation of urinary calculi, investigating eating habits, family history and chemical composition of the calculi in the population of the Azores. Methods: The data were collected from 46 patients of the Hospital do Divino Espirito Santo and 48 healthy volunteers. A questionnaire was recorded on the medical and family history of the participants and on their life habits. The chemical composition of the calculi was evaluated by ICP-MS. Results: It was observed that the study group has a higher prevalence of diabetes and cases of urinary calculi in the family compared to the reference group. A positive correlation was found between calcium in the stones and the contents of sodium, magnesium, zinc, molybdenum and strontium. Conclusion: This study reveals that family history, diabetes and water consumption play an important role in the development of urinary calculi in the population of the Azores. The chemical content of the stones should also be considered since these data could help the medical community to understand the causes of urinary stone formation and adapt the medication and preventive measures to the patient and to the type of kidney stone produced.

No entanto, os principais fatores de risco e composição química dos cálculos urinários na população dos Açores são desconhecidos. O objetivo deste estudo foi definir quais os fatores mais importantes associados à formação de cálculos urinários, investigar hábitos alimentares, história familiar e composição química dos cálculos na população dos Açores. Métodos: Foram recolhidos dados de 46 pacientes do Hospital do Divino Espírito Santo e de 48 voluntários saudáveis. Aplicou-se um questionário referente a antecedentes médicos e familiares dos participantes e aos seus hábitos de vida. A composição química dos cálculos foi avaliada pelo ICP-MS. Resultados: Observou-se que o grupo de estudo apresenta uma maior prevalência de diabetes e casos de cálculos urinários na família em comparação com o grupo de referência. Uma correlação positiva foi encontrada entre o cálcio existente nos cálculos e as concentrações de sódio, magnésio, zinco, molibdênio e estrôncio. Conclusão: Este estudo revela que a história familiar, diabetes e o consumo de água desempenham um papel importante no desenvolvimento de cálculos urinários na população dos Açores. O conteúdo químico dos cálculos também deve ser considerado, pois esses dados podem ajudar a comunidade médica a compreender as causas da formação de cálculos urinários e adaptar a medicação e medidas preventivas ao paciente e ao tipo de cálculo urinário.Associação Portuguesa de Urologia2018-07-24T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.24915/aup.35.1-2.67oai:oai.actaurologicaportuguesa.com:article/67Acta Urológica Portuguesa; Vol. 35 No. 1-2 (2018): January-March; April-June; 32-38Acta Urológica Portuguesa; v. 35 n. 1-2 (2018): janeiro-março; abril-junho; 32-382387-04192341-4022reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPenghttp://www.actaurologicaportuguesa.com/index.php/aup/article/view/67https://doi.org/10.24915/aup.35.1-2.67http://www.actaurologicaportuguesa.com/index.php/aup/article/view/67/34Copyright (c) 2018 Portuguese Association of Urologyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva Linhares, Diana PaulaVentura Garcia, PatriciaGoulart, SaraSebastião, CarlosMota Preto, Pedrodos Santos Rodrigues, Armindo2022-09-21T09:04:47Zoai:oai.actaurologicaportuguesa.com:article/67Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:16:22.635290Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
