Abstract

Uric acid, which was originally identified in 1776, is a component of bladder stones that is regulated by metabolism, renal excretion and synthesis. Acidic urine and metabolic syndrome are associated with an increased risk of uric acid stones. The primary goals of this research are to determine the age and gender distribution, as well as the predisposing and causative variables and clinical presentation of uric acid urolithiasis. Methods and materials: A clinical investigation on radiolucent stones was carried out at SCB Medical college and Hospital, Cuttack from July 2021 to July 2023. Fifty examples of symptomatic uric acid calculi were chosen based on clinical symptoms and radiological findings. To collect comprehensive data on uric acid calculi, a history, physical examination, blood and urine tests, and radiographic examinations were performed. Results The research included 72% male and 28% female participants, with an average age of 34.5 years. A high-protein diet was connected to an increased risk of uric acid stones, with discomfort in the loin being the most often reported symptom.
