teenager from a United States State reveals that they are

diagnosing more cases of kidney stones than before.

the follow-up of a group of children in Minnesota since 1984

new YORK (Reuters Health) – a study on population

through 2008 shows that Diagnostics rose 6 by

cent per annum in the adolescents.

between 1984 and 1990, 13 cases were detected by each 100,000

adolescents aged 12 to 17 years, a result that almost is

tripled (to 36 of each 100,000) between 2003 and 2008.

“always speculated about how the incidence of the

kidney stones vary in population Pediatric. but

until now, we did not have a serious epidemiological study

that confirm or defeats the suspicions”, said author

main, Dr. Moira E. Dwyer, the clinic may, in

Rochester.

the results of his study were published in the

Journal Urology.

does not exist a single explanation of by which some children

develop stones kidney. could be attributed to certain

factors of lifestyle, as eating few liquids or eating

too much salt.

some researchers suspect that the growing

obesity epidemic would be behind the increase in the incidence

of the kidney in adults and children.

Dwyer team reviewed a database of stories

clinics that used all the providers of services of

health of the Olmstead County, in Minnesota. the authors are

concentrated in 25 years, between 1984 and 2008 information.

único grupo etario que registró un aumento de la incidencia de

Dwyer, es posible que haya mejorado el diagnóstico.

Hasta mediados de los 90, sólo el 10 por ciento de los

cálculos renales se habían detectado con una tomografía

computarizada (TC), comparado con el 82 por ciento entre 1997 y

el 2008.

un 60 por ciento de los cálculos que detecta una TC. “zondigen dudas,

la TC es el estudio por imágenes más verstandige para detectar los

cálculos in Pediatrics”, said Dwyer.

but added that always risks must be taken into account

from exposure to radiation. the TC emits dose much more

high radiation that the x-ray conventional.

reveals a study published last week that children

exposed to several TC, may suffer an increased risk of

develop leukemia or a brain at the time cancer

but still when you increase that risk, it would be quite small

and specialists who commented on the study coincided

in that the parents should not oppose the TC that could

detect serious illness in their children, as infections

respiratory or lesions in the head or the column.

instead, in other situations, said that parents

could see if there are other options that do not emit

radiation.

een combinatie van symptomen, analyse van bloed- en urineonderzoek, en

studies door afbeeldingen. de symptomen zijn meestal pijn bij het urineren,

bloed in de urine en pijn in het onderste gedeelte van de buik of in de

rug.
