The main metabolic disorders among Cuban pediatric patients with urinary lithiasis are: hypercalciuria, decreased urinary flow and hypocitraturia. Hypercalciuria, hypocitraturia and hyperoxaluria are more common in children, and decreased urinary flow and hyperuricosuria are more common in adolescents. Identifying urinary metabolic disorders facilitates formulation of treatment plans tailored to decreasing the likelihood of urolithiasis.
