What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Background: Urinary tract stones (UTS) is a prevalent urological issue and an important source of morbidity across the globe. Dietary fluctuations, sedentary habits, metabolic diseases, obesity and environmental influence have augmented its overload. Positioning of the stone influences the symptoms, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis. There is limited local data concerning stone location in Pakistan. The purpose of this study was to establish the prevalence and distribution of urinary tract stones in hospital patients. Methods: It is a cross-sectional study that was done at the Institute of Kidney Diseases (IKD), Peshawar, during the period May to July 2026. Two hundred and six patients who had a urinary stone that had been radiologically proven were included. There was the recording of demographic, clinical, imaging, and stone location and risk factor. The SPSS 26 was used to analyze the data, which were presented as means in SDs, frequencies, and percentages. Results: 206 patients were studied with a mean of 42.7±13.5 years and 64.1 percent men. Most common were renal and ureteric stones. The most frequent ones were lower calyceal and lower ureteric stones. The majority of stones were unilateral. Risk factors were low levels of fluid intake and high salt intake. Conclusion: Urinary stones were predominant in middle-aged males with the predominant location renal and ureteric. Local stone patterns could assist in enhancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
