Bladder stone disease in children in Afghanistan.
[]
Of
132
children
with
bladder
stones
seen
in
1
year
,
94
%
were
boys
and
73
%
were
aged
between
1
and
5
years
.
Significant
malnutrition
and
evidence
of
vitamin
deficiency
were
absent
.
Wheat
bread
was
the
dietary
staple
,
while
the
intake
of
milk
and
dairy
products
,
eggs
and
meat
was
very
low
.
Analysis
of
29
stones
showed
them
to
consist
mainly
of
calcium
oxalate
and
uric
acid
,
with
small
amounts
of
calcium
phosphate
and
magnesium
ammonium
phosphate
in
some
cases
.
The
composition
of
the
surface
and
central
parts
of
the
stones
,
examined
in
20
cases
,
was
usually
different
.
The
nucleus
was
formed
almost
entirely
of
calcium
oxalate
and
uric
acid
in
four
and
three
cases
respectively
,
whereas
the
surface
layers
were
composed
of
other
ingredients
.
In
another
case
the
nucleus
was
composed
entirely
of
xanthine
,
which
indicated
a
diagnosis
of
xanthinuria
.
