Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a quickly rising public health problem due to the seriousness of its complications. It also causes potential harm to the kidneys of diabetic patients and hence preventive and therapeutic measures should be taken against the various types of lithiasis. Materials and methods: The survey included 100 type 2 diabetics over a period of 6 months. First morning urine samples were examined with a light microscope for qualitative and quantitative analysis of crystalluria. Results: The calcium oxalates were higher in both the genders compared to the other crystalline species, with a frequency of 63% at direct examination. Conclusion: The crystalluria observed in type 2 diabetics showed the predominant prevalence of the calcium oxalate type crystals with a frequency of 63.0%, followed by uric acid with a frequency of 29.0%.

Keywords: Crystalluria; Lithiasis; Diabetes mellitus.
