Zusammenfassung:The relation between vasectomy and renal disease was examined in the data collection phase of a study of vasectomy and coronary artery disease. The date of onset and type of urological disease was obtained for 11,205 men enrolled in the US Coronary Artery Surgery Study. Urolithiasis was the most common reported urological disease. The relative risk for calculi in men who had had a vasectomy ranged from 2.6 for patients 30-35 years old to 1.3 for those aged 55-65. The age-adjusted relative risk was 1.67 (p less than 0.001).
