Effectiveness and Treatment Outcome of ESWL as Intervention Method at Shaafi Hospital, Mogadishu-Somalia

Abstract

Renal stone is a most common clinical disorder affecting up to 5% of the general population in the USA. The prevalence of renal stone disease has been rising in both sexes, being estimated that about 5% of American women and 12% of men will develop a kidney stone at some time in their life, however, in certain areas of the world, as in the Middle East, the lifetime risk appears to be even higher, There has been heightened awareness of renal stone disease in children as well, Recurrence rates of 50% after 10 years and 75% after 20 years have been reported Epidemiological data on urolithiasis in sub-Saharan Africa are rare because research resources throughout most of the continent are poor. South Africa is an exception in this concern. Stone disease has been reported in several countries. Epidemiological factors in these regions are not unusual. However, in a few countries the disease is extremely rare. The absence of stones can be attributed to epidemiological factors in all regions except South Africa, where stone shortage arises because of racial differences between the white and black population groups. Routine urinary biochemical risk factors cannot account for this phenomenon. However, the protective capacity of urinary proteins may play a role in this regard The aim of this study were to investigate factors associated kidney stone and effectiveness and treatment outcome of ESWL as intervention method in shaafi hospital Mogadishu Somalia The specific objectives of this study were .
