Abstract

Some elements may take part in the initiation of stone crystallization or inhibitor in urine, in this study; we estimated some of trace elements in patients and control groups to correlate between the distributions of trace elements in the serum with kidney stone formation in Sudanese's patient. This is descriptive cross-sectional study correlated during 1st May to 30ty September 2014 and was conducted in Khartoum State hospitals. Sixty blood samples were collected from the patients at Urology unit along with forty blood samples as a control, the mean ± SD of the age in patients were 41.75 ± 2.03 and for the control were 42.95±1.67, this study included both gender. Biochemical analysis of serum samples was carried out for the patients and the control group to estimate some of the trace elements (Zn, Cu, Mg and Mn) concentrations. It was found that there is a statistical significant difference in Zn and Mn concentration between the two groups with P value in Zn (0.003) and in Mn (0.000), but not in Mg and Cu concentration, P value in Mg (0.074) and in Cu (0.273). Our study suggested that increase of Zn and decrease of Mn associated with increased risk factor of kidney stone disease.
