Background & objectives: The crisis of access to adequate and hygienic water resources, alongside unhealthy lifestyles, plays a significant role in the prevalence of various urinary stone-related diseases. The daily water intake and the compounds present in water sources can impact urinary elements and kidney stone formation. However, discrepancies have been noted in various studies. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the concentration of microelements in urinary stones and the blood of residents of Ardabil province and its correlation with different water sources.
Methods: This case-control study involved 40 cases and 40 controls, comprising individuals with urinary stones who consumed water from various sources in Ardabil city. The study analyzed various water sources, including mineral water, tap water, river water, dam water, well water, spring water, and filtered water, in terms of trace element concentrations (Strontium, Vanadium, Sodium, and Potassium) and their association with urinary stone formation. Additionally, the physicochemical characteristics of water sources such as pH, turbidity, residual chlorine, total dissolved solids (TDS), and electrical conductivity (EC) were examined. Minor elements were measured using an ICP-MS device. Data analysis utilized SPSS version 22 software and ANOVA and Tukey statistical tests.
Results: The study findings revealed a significant difference in the concentration of sodium in the blood based on the types of water sources consumed (p<0.05). Individuals who used filtered water exhibited higher sodium levels in their blood compared to those using tap water. No notable differences were observed in the concentration of other minor elements. According to the Tukey test results, the sodium content in filtered water exceeded that in tap water.
Conclusion: This study observed significant differences in the concentrations of Sodium, Strontium, and Vanadium in urinary stones and blood based on the types of water consumed. The sodium levels in the blood of individuals using purified water were higher than those using tap water. Additionally, filtered water had higher sodium content compared to tap water. These findings suggest that the type of water consumed can influence the sodium concentration and other body compounds, aiding individuals in selecting water sources or obtaining water purification devices based on their health conditions.
