Abstract














Amaç



Artmış idrar ürik asit atılımının vezikoüreteral reflü (VUR) ile ilşkili
olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı idrar ürik asit/kreatinin oranının
VUR hastalığında renal skar için bir gösterge olup olamayacağının araştırılmasıdır.



Materyal
– Metod



Bu çalışma için VUR tanısı konmuş hastaların dosyaları geriye dönük olarak taranmıştır.
Sekonder VUR, 3 yaş altındakiler ve yetersiz değerlendirmesi olan hastalar
çalışma dışı bırakılmıştır. Yaş, cinsiyet, VUR durumu, dimerkaptosüksinik asit
(DMSA) sintigrafi bulguları, hipertansiyon varlığı, mikroalbuminuri, vücut
kitle indeksi sonuçları kaydedilmiştir. Serum ve idrar ürik asit, kalsiyum ve
kreatinin değerleri ölçülmüştür. İdrar ürik asit/kreatinin ve idrar
kalsiyum/kreatinin oranları yaşa gore hesaplanmıştır. Herhangi bir predikte
edici faktörü değerlendirmek için geriye dönük regresyon analizi yapıldı.



Bulgular



            Çalışmaya toplam 76 hasta dahi edilmiştir. Ortalama yaş 8.2±3.7 olarak
bulunmuştur. Hastalardan 49’u kız ve 27’si de erkektir. Toplamda 51 hastada
renal skar saptanmış olup 25 hastada renal skar saptanmamıştır. Çalışma grubunda
22 hastada mikroalbuminüri mevcut iken 5 hastada hipertansiyon bulunmuştur.
Hiperürikozüri 23 hastada (%30.7) var iken yalnızca 1 hastada (%1.3)
hiperkalsiüri vardı. İdrar ürik asit/kreatinin oranı ile renal skar,
mikroalbminüri ve hipertansiyon arasında ilişki saptanmamıştır (p değeri tümü
için >0.05) . Ayrıca idrar
kalsiyum/kreatinin oranı da bahsedilen parametrelerle ilişkili bulunmamıştır.



Sonuçlar



            Çalışmamızın
sonuçlarına göre ürik asit/kreatinin oranının vezikoüreteral reflülü hastalarda
renal skarı gösteren bir bulgu olmadığı saptanmıştır.

Abstract

Objective: Increased urinary excretion of uric acid has been shown to be associated with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). The aim of this study is evaluate if urinary uric acid/creatinine ratio can be used as a surrogate for renal scarring in VUR.
Method: Retrospective chart analysis was made to identify patients who were diagnosed with VUR. Those with secondary VUR, <3 years of age, and inadequate evaluation were excluded. Age, gender, VUR status, dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy findings, presence of hypertension and microalbuminuria, and body mass index values were noted. Uric acid, calcium and creatinine levels for both urine and serum were measured. Urinary uric acid/creatinine and calcium/creatinine ratios were assessed for age. Backward logistic regression analysis was used for determining any predictors.
Results: A total of 76 patients were eligible for the study. Mean age was 8.2±3.7 years. There were 49 females and 27 males. Fifty-one patients had renal scars while 25 had no scars. Microalbuminuria was present in 22 patients. Hypertension was detected in 5 patients. Hyperuricosuria was found in 23 patients (30.7%) while hypercalciuria was found only in 1 patient (1.3%). There was no correlation between urinary uric acid/creatinine and renal scarring, microalbuminuria and hypertension. Also, no correlation was found between urinary calcium/creatinine levels and aforementioned parameters (p values >0.05, for all).
Conclusions: Our results indicate that urinary uric acid/creatinine ratio would not be used as surrogate for renal scarring in VUR.
