Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Renal stone disease is a multi-factorial disorder resulting from the combined influence of epidemiological, biochemical and genetic risk factors. Keeping the history in various parts of the world in our mind, our research was aimed to study the prevalence of renal stones based on the patients’ socio-demographic factors such as sex, age, resident region etc. and to determine the risk factors of renal stones among Omani population in the North Batinah Governorate. Other objectives included study on management of renal stones at Sohar Hospital. All Omani in-patients who had renal stones and were admitted in the hospital from 1st January, 2010 till 31st May, 2012 were included in the study. The results showed that renal stones disease in Omani population was more common in the age group between 30 to39 years. It occurred in both men and women, but the risk was generally higher in men than in women. No association between the patients’ age, gender and their resident place was found in the studies conducted. There are many factors that decided the patient’ stay in the hospital such as hospital facilities, beds availability and the requirements of each patient condition.Sohar hospital was able to manage the disease and keep it under control. Around 75% of total patients left the hospital in stable condition. Keywords: Calculi, renal complications, Chi square tests, Risk factors
