Evaluación de la relación entre factores de riesgo cardiovascular, las lesiones endoscópicas de la papila renal y el tipo de litiasis renal

Introduction and objetives: Study the relationship between the most frequent cardiovascular risk factors with the type of endoscopic injury of the renal papilla and the kind of renal lithiasis. Material and methods: We prospectively evaluated 38 patients undergoing retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) by analyzing and classifying the type of injury observed in the renal papilla (Randall’s plaque, intratubular calcification and papillary cleft). Later, we analyzed the type of lithiasis present (calcium oxalate monohydrate, uric acid and calcium oxalate dihydrate lithiasis with or without hydroxyapatite) and the cardiovascular risk factors present (HTA, Diabetes Mellitus, Obesity, Historiy of previous heart disease). A proportional comparison was performed using the x2 test with significance value p
