OBJECTIVES
To determine the frequency of renal lithiasis among patients coming to Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar.
METHODOLOGY
This Observational cross-sectional study was undertaken at Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar, period (January 2021 to August 2021). Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used to recruit 61 patients. Institutional Review Board approval was obtained prior to data collection. SPSS version 20 was used to analyze data.
RESULTS
Out of 160 patients, 61(37.5%) patients were having renal calculi. Among those 61 patients, n=49(80%) were male participants and 12(20%) female participants said that they are having renal calculi. The age of the participants was 12-65years. The proportion of males was approximately higher as compared to the females. Most of the participants have renal calculi at the time of the examination.
CONCLUSION
There is a high rate of renal lithiasis in mostly male patients and at young ages. These demographic factors may be potentially associated with the occurrence of renal lithiasis. Further research is required to study these factors in detail in relation to renal lithiasis
