OBJECTIVE: To assess the factors influencing urinary nitrosamine production in patients with enterocystoplasties. PATIENTS, SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The study comprised 100 patients with an enterocystoplasty, 20 patients with interstitial cystitis, 30 with infective cystitis and 120 control subjects drawn from hospital staff and out-patients. Urinary nitrosamine levels were measured and the urine samples cultured for microorganisms. RESULTS: Nitrosamine levels were significantly higher only in patients with enterocystoplasties who also had higher urinary white cell counts or significant bacteriuria. CONCLUSION: Patients with an enterocystoplasty and significant bacteriuria are most at risk from potential nitrosamine-induced epithelial injury.
Although patients with Hirschsprung's disease (HD) carry some factors that increase the risk of urolithiasis this fact seems to be underestimated. Among 302 patients with HD, four patients (1.32%) with urolithiasis were encountered. Since factors increasing the risk of urolithiasis such as urinary tract infection, constipation, vesicoureteral reflux, enteric resections and malabsorption may be encountered during the course of HD, an increased risk of urolithiasis in these patients should be expected.
