Abstract:Objective
To analyze the relation ship between the quality of drinking water and the onset of urolithiasis  in Jilin province and discuss its genesis and prevention strategies. Methods According to the distribution of urolithiasis  in different areas of Jilin province,the contents of main trace elements and main anions of the drinking water from different places were detected. The relationship  between the quality of drinking water and urolithiasis  was analyzed and the method to improve the quality of drinking water was suggested. Results There were obvious differences of the pH,Na+,Ca+ and HCO-3 of drinking water between different areas (P<0.05),and the levels of pH and anions in the area with high morbidity of urolithiasis  were higher. The relation coefficient between pH of drinking water and urolithiasis  was 0.781,and the relation coefficient between anions of drinking water and urolithiasis  was 0.707. It indicates  that there were some relations between the quality of drinking water and the onset of urolithiasis in Jilin province. Conclusion If the water has more calcium,sodium and high pH value, it will be easy to form urinary stone. So it must be purified before drinking.
