Familial clustering and sex incidence of urolithiasis

Abstract

Upper urinary tract stone disease is a predominantly male disease. It is seen 1.2–3.3 [1] times more frequently in the male than female — in some countries (e.g. Saudi Arabia) as much as 5 times more frequently in the male [2]. In Pakistan at the Aga Khan University Medical Centre (AKUMC), the sex ratio in patients with upper urinary tract stone is 2.8:1.
