AIM: We aim to define the correlations between nephrolithiasis,
hypertension, age and obesity in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic
kidney disease (ADPKD) in Albania.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We included 100 patients with autosomal
dominant polycystic kidney from 2011 to 2014. The patients underwent X-ray
and renal ultrasonography. We performed the metabolic evaluation of blood
and urine.
RESULTS: The patients with renal stones had a higher level of mean
systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared with patients without stones
(155 ± 12 mmHg vs. 145 ± 8 mmHg, and 105 ± 0.9 mmHg vs. 92 ± 1.28 mmHg,
respectively). Patients with renal stones were older (47 ± 15 vs. 38 ± 5
years), had a higher prevalence of obesity [body mass index (BMI): 28 ± 2.4
vs. 25.7 ± 0.6], had higher levels of total cholesterol level (220 ± 5 mg/dl
vs. 203 ± 4 mg/dl) as well as triglyceride levels (160 ± 9 mg/dl vs. 126 ± 4
mg/dl), compared with no renal stone individuals.
CONCLUSION: ADPKD patients with renal stones in our study had a
higher mean level of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, BMI and
cholesterol and triglycerides levels compared with individuals without renal
stones.
