Özet
Defined as a renal hyperechogenic focus smaller than 3 mm in diameter on urinary ultrasound. The clinical importance of ML remains controversial in the pediatric population. The current study evaluated the differences in the demographic data and metabolic abnormalities between children with renal ML and those with overt nephrolithiasis. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of laterality, number of stones, stone diameter, urinary tract infections, pain at presentation, incidental kidney stones, urine density, hypercalciuria, spot urine uric acid/creatinine ratio, urine sodium/potassium ratio, and potassium citrate therapy (p = 0.02, p = 0.03, p < 0.001, p = 0.02, p = 0.04, p = 0.01, p = 0.04, p = 0.02, p < 0.001, p = 0.03, p = 0.041, and p = 0.013, respectively). ML may be the first stage in the development of overt nephrolithiasis. Therefore, all patients with urolithiasis, regardless of stone size, should be followed up to prevent complications of the disease.
