Item Do Dietary Factors Play A Role In Infantile Urolithiasis?(2022) Yilmaz, Aysun Caltik; Unal, Necla; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0774-4419; 35275274; AAD-1877-2021Background Urolithiasis is a significant cause of morbidity that may be diagnosed at a young age. However, there is little research on the role of nutrition in pediatric urolithiasis, and research on the infantile period is extremely rare. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of dietary factors on those diagnosed with "idiopathic" infantile urolithiasis. Method The study group included 44 infants without a proven etiological factor for urolithiasis. The control group consisted of 60 fully healthy infants of matched age and gender. The parents and caregivers of each infant in the patient and control groups were carefully questioned by the same researcher for their dietary characteristics. Result The duration of formula usage and daily volume of formula were statistically higher in the study group than the control group (p = 0.041 and p = 0.003, respectively). The urolithiasis group consumed significantly more cow's milk and dairy products (p = 0.033 and p = 0.001). There was no statistically meaningful difference between the two groups in terms of starting age for free water and salty food, as well as daily water intake. Conclusion We concluded that dietary conditions could also be a risk factor for idiopathic urolithiasis. We believe that nutritional factors for infantile urolithiasis should be better described, in addition to genetic, anatomical, and metabolic factors.Item Clinical Profile and Renal Ultrasound Characteristics of Children With Nutcracker Syndrome in Turkey(2022) Basaran, Edibe Gozde; Yilmaz, Aysun Caltik; Gungor, Ozlem; Tayfur, Asli Celebi; Buyukkaragoz, Bahar; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0774-4419; 35060485; AAD-1877-2021Objective We aimed to evaluate the clinical profile and radiological findings of children with nutcracker syndrome (NCS) and to assess the association between the parameters. Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical, laboratory and radiological parameters of children diagnosed with NCS between January, 2011 and October, 2017 was done. Results Of a total of 29 patients [19 girls, 65.5%] with NCS, having a mean (SD) age of 10.8 years, 72.4% had BMI <-2SD. Approximately half of the patients (51.7%) were asymptomatic. Left flank pain was commonest (9/29; 31%) symptom, followed by macroscopic hematuria (4/29; 13.8%). Isolated proteinuria was seen in 9 children. There was no significant difference between the symptomatic and asymptomatic patients in terms of Doppler ultrasonography findings. All patients were followed up conservatively, 5 received enalapril therapy for moderate proteinuria. Conclusion NCS should be considered in children, especially with low BMI, presenting with orthostatic proteinuria and hematuria, with or without left flank pain after ruling out the common causes.
