assessment of idiopathic hypercalciuria in girls kids with infrequent voiding (underactive bladder)

Background: hypercalciuria may be a sign of infrequent voiding; these symptoms may be treated if we get rid of hypercalciuria. objectives: this paper is intended to get to the prevalence of hypercalciuria in girls (kids) with infrequent voiding. methods: 80 patients with the index of infrequent voiding, whowere admitted to amir-kabir hospital of arak, and 80 childrenwhowere admitted without any particular disease just for a laboratory check were studied simultaneously. urine sample (u/a-u/c), kidney, and bladder sonography was taken from both groups. results: the prevalence of hypercalciuria in the normal group was 9.64% and in the case group was 53.18% (p = 0.003). based on the chi-square test, hypercalciuria distribution between the 2 groups is not homogeneous. mean calcium to creatinine ratios were 0.17±0.18 (mg/mg) and 3.9±0.34 (mg/mg) for control and case groups, respectively and significant difference is observed between the 2 groups (p = 0.0001). based on the logistic regression test, there is a significant relationship between both case and control groups and the occurrence of hypercalciuria with 6.3 times more than the control group observed in the case group. conclusions: based on the high prevalence of hypercalciuria in the case group, examination and treatment of hypercalciuria in patients with infrequent voiding may be effective.
