Background: Renal system deposits are uncommon in the neonatal period and its exact prevalence is not fully understood. The present study was conducted due to the lack of a similar study in Iran aimed to determine the prevalence of renal sediment and the factors affecting its occurrence in Iranian neonates and to compare with similar studies in other communities.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 200 infants who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit of Imam Reza Hospital, Kermanshah, Iran in 2017, were included in the study by available sampling method. The mean age of the newborn was 4.06 days, of which 117 were boys (58.5%) and 83 were girls (41.5%).
Results: The results showed that the overall prevalence of kidney deposits was 2.5%, including 2% nephrolithiasis and 0.5% nephrocalcinosis and there was a statistically significant relationship between the type of renal sediment and the age of the neonates at the time of admission, oxygen and ventilator use (P<0.001), also.
Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, the prevalence of renal deposits (nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis) in neonates admitted to the intensive care unit was lower than similar reports in other communities. |
