SES AUA 2014 - Poster and Abstract: Prospective evaluation of 24-hour urine profiles following bariatric surgery in a modern comprehensive care bariatric clinic

HOLLYWOOD, FL USA (UroToday.com) - Objective: To prospectively examine the effect of modem bariatric surgery on 24-hour urine parameters of patients in a comprehensive care bariatric practice.

aua sesMethods: Forty-seven consecutive patients in our comprehensive bariatric care program underwent serum and 24-hour urine analysis preoperatively, and 30 returned at 12 months for repeat testing. Paired comparisons for serum metabolite and 24-hour urine measures were performed using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test for continuous variables and McNemar's test for categorical variables. All statistical tests were two-sided, with threshold of significance set at p=0.05.

Results: All 30 patients with pre-operative and 12 month follow-up analysis were free of stone events. Twenty (67%) had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), six (20%) had laparoscopic gastric banding (LGB) and four (13%) had laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). sesaua bariatric poster 58 thumbTwenty-four-hour urinary parameters were available for 27 patients. Median urine oxalate (mmol) was 0.29 preoperatively and 0.21 at 12 months (p=0.048). Median urine calcium (mg) was 143 preoperatively and 180 at 12 months (p=0.11). Median citrate excretion was 527 preoperatively and 782 at 12 months (p=0.22). Median serum creatinine was 0.7 preoperatively and 0.8 at 12 months (P<0.001). These trends were preserved with the exclusion of LGB and LSG patients.

Conclusions: Although much improved compared to historical literature, modem bariatric surgery (RYGB, LGB, and LSG) as part of a comprehensive bariatric program can still demonstrate alterations of select urinary parameters (particularly oxa­ late and citrate) in select patients associated with an increased risk of urolithiasis at one year follow-up.
