Abstract
Urolithiasis is one of the most common diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract. The purpose of the study is to compare the size of a single kidney in patients with urolithiasis with parameters of the kidneys of patients with two kidneys who don’t have any diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract. A comprehensive examination of 84 patients with urolithiasis and single kidney and 65 patients with two kidneys who didn’t have any kidney and urinary tract diseases were conducted. The research was carried out on a magnetic resonance tomography Philips Intera-1,5T (standard magnetic resonance protocol included scanning in sagittal, frontal and axial projections to obtain T1 images). The length of the right single kidney is statistically significantly greater (1.18 times) in men with urolithiasis than in men with two kidneys who did not have any kidney and urinary tract disorders (p<0.05). The width, thickness and volume of the kidneys were also statistically significantly larger respectively 1.25 times, 1.27 times and 2.01 times (p <0.05). The parameters of the kidney (length, width, thickness and volume) were larger, respectively, in 1.21 times, 1.26 times, 1.26 times and 1.93 times in women with the single right kidney with urolithiasis. Conclusion. The morphometric parameters of a single kidney in patients with urolithiasis (length, width, thickness and volume) were statistically significantly different from those in patients with two kidneys who don’t have any kidney and urinary tract disorders. The measure of the volume of the right single kidney in men suffering from urolithiasis was the highest (p <0.05) in comparison with the same parameters in patients with two kidneys who don’t have any kidney and urinary tract disorders.
