Abstract

    The purpose of this retrospective study from cause to effect was to determine the incidence and related factors of adverse events in asymptomatic renal calculi patients at Chao Phraya Yomraj Hospital. The sample were 163 volumes of medical record of the patients who attended a urinary tract surgery unit, Chao Phraya Yommarat Hospital during 2017-2020 and found red blood cells in urine from a urinalysis. The sample size was determined using the Infinite population proportion formula. The research instrument was record form of adverse events in patients with asymptomatic renal calculi such as pain, urinary tract infection, renal failure due to urinary tract obstruction, and undergoing surgery for complications of calculi. The data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square, independent t-test, and logistic regression.

        The study results revealed as follows:

           The Report of incidence In 36 adverse events (22.1%), the location of the renal calculi were the upper (p=0.007) or medial (p=0.021) kidneys, and their were a factor associated with the occurrence of adverse events in the patients with asymptomatic renal calculi.

    Therefore, most patients with asymptomatic renal calculi can be continuous symptom monitored while no need for surgical treatment that could result in complications.
