![]() This will avoid unnecessary and invasive investigations. In the presence of recurrent abdominal/flank pain, hematuria without proteinuria or edema and urological symptomatology, especially in the presence of red urine, and a positive family history of gout or stones, a search for HU is in order. The presence of a positive family history and red urine were significant (P-value <0.05) for the presence of an underlying HU. Family history was positive for stones and/or gout in 62.5%. To our knowledge, the vaginal itching and penile pain were not previously described. The most common symptoms were abdominal pain 67.2% (in 7/44 it was localized to the right lower quadrant, mimicking appendicitis), flank pain 59.4%, increased urinary frequency 43.4%, urgency 39%, enuresis 31.25%, oliguria 29.7%, dysuria 25%, red urine 20.35%, vaginal itching 15.21%, dribbling 14.06%, orange urine 12.5%, hesitancy 12.5% and penile pain 7.81%. The relationship of symptomatology to age and gender were not significant. There were 228 symptomatic episodes for 64 patients (males 31, females 33). Duration of follow-up ranged was from six to 66 months. The mean age at diagnosis was 80 months (range six to 156 months). The patients were divided into HU 19, HU + HC 4, HU + HX 21 and HU + HC + HX 20. A retrospective review was done on 64 children with HU seen between January 2004 and December 2008. The aim of this study was to review the clinical spectrum of symptomatology of HU and to evaluate the presence of associated hypercalciuria (HC) and hyperoxaluria (HX). The European bison ( Bison bonasus) or the European wood bison, also known as the wisent ( / ˈ v iː z ə n t/ or / ˈ w iː z ə n t/), the zubr ( / z uː b ə r/), or sometimes colloquially as the European buffalo, is a European species of bison.The clinical manifestations of hyperuricosuria (HU) are usually underestimated by the clinician. It is one of two extant species of bison, alongside the American bison. ![]() The European bison is the heaviest wild land animal in Europe, and individuals in the past may have been even larger than their modern-day descendants. During late antiquity and the Middle Ages, bison became extinct in much of Europe and Asia, surviving into the 20th century only in northern-central Europe and the northern Caucasus Mountains. During the early years of the 20th century, bison were hunted to extinction in the wild. The species - now numbering several thousand and returned to the wild by captive breeding programmes - is no longer in immediate danger of extinction, but remains absent from most of its historical range. It is not to be confused with the aurochs ( Bos primigenius), the extinct ancestor of domestic cattle, with which it once co-existed.īesides humans, bison have few predators. ![]() In the 19th century, there were scattered reports of wolves, lions, tigers, andīears hunting bison. The aim of this study was to review the clinical spectrum of symptomatology of HU and to evaluate the presence of associated hypercalciuria (HC) and hyperoxaluria (HX). In the past, especially during the Middle Ages, humans commonly killed bison for their hide and meat. They used their horns to make drinking horns.Įuropean bison were hunted to extinction in the wild in the early 20th century, with the last wild animals of the B. bonasus subspecies being shot in the Białowieża Forest (on today's Belarus–Poland border) in 1921. The last of the Caucasian wisent subspecies ( B. Caucasicus) was shot in the north-western Caucasus in 1927.
