RISK FACTORS AND REGIONAL CAUSES OF URINARY SYSTEM DISEASES IN CHILDREN IN PRIMORYE

Prevalence, dynamics, and regional causes of the urinary tract diseases in children in the Primorsky Krai have been studied. We used epidemiological, hygienic, clinical and statistical methods. The paper has given the results of the analysis of the urinary system incidence in the children in the Primorye Territory in 1998 - 2010. It has been found that the kidney incidence in the children was characterized by an expressed increase. Designed unfavorable prognosis: in next five years, frequency of the urinary tract infections is expected to increase by 3 times in children, by 2 times - in adolescents, and the chronic renal failure-by 2.5 times. Causes of development of the kidney disease are: high frequency of congenital malformations of the urinary system, poor anthropotechnogenic situation and climatic conditions in some areas, inadequate and poor nutrition, mild low-mineralized water supply systems with deficiency of many nutrients. Knowledge of objective data on the incidence allowed to make grounded management decisions regarding implementation of the scientific program for formation of groups at risk and early diagnostics of the urinary system diseases in the Primorye Territory with use of prognostic evaluation tables for neonatal screening.
