Fifty patients were followed-up for an average of 3 years after treatment for urinary bladder calculi. In 10 of these (20%) altogether 20 metabolic or endocrine diagnoses were revealed at follow-up: hypercalcaemia, 8; hyperuricosaemia, 4; high parathormone, 3; hyperuricosuria, 2; hypercalciuria, 2: hyperoxaluria, 1. About half of the patients also had other diagnoses, dominated by outflow obstruction at the prostatic level, followed by neurogenic bladder disorder. Fifteen had developed new bladder calculi. Urography revealed upper tract calculi in 12 patients, but 11 of these were free from metabolic disorder. Significant bacteriuria was common (24%). Our conclusion is that a follow-up is to be recommended after treatment of bladder calculi. It should include cystoscopy and screening for endocrine/metabolic disorders.

Presentation of the analytical results from the patients seen for lithiasic disease (LD) over a two-year period at the Hospital Reina Sofia, Tudela. This Hospital covers a homogeneous Health Area including 22 villages and a population of 76,000 people. The clinical cases of 785 patient diagnosed with LD between May 1988 and 1990 May are analyzed. Microhaematuria in fresh urine is detected in 64.20% patients and crystalluria in 33.37%. Significant bacteriuria is present in 5.73% of total patients with prevalence of E. coli in 42.4%. Only 2 cases of hyperparatiroidism were diagnosed during the study period but later another two cases of HPT were detected in bone injuries studied due to rheumatic disease. No normocalcemic HPT cases were diagnosed among suspected cases. The metabolic studies were of little use in our experience, maybe because of non-availability of basic analytical determinations such as citraturia. Nevertheless, higher values of urinary volume, calciuria and uricemia and lower values of magnesemia and magnesiuria were found in lithiasic patients that in control ones. Neither oxaluria or the remaining analytical parameters provide differential data. Hypercalciuria higher than 300 mg in seen in 28.6% of studied patients and in 12.5% of the control group.
