  • A clinical study of incidence of urolithiasis associated with topiramate in patients with epilepsy

    ObjectivesTo analyze prospective incidence and risk factors of urolithiasis after Topiramate (TPM) therapy in epileptic patients. MethodsWe prospectively analyzed the incidence of urolithiasis in 120 patients with epilepsy who diagnosed in the Department of Neurology of the First Hospital Affiliated to Dalian Medical University from March 2004 to March 2013. Then calculated the incidence of urolithiasis, and analyzed the risk factors. ResultsIn the 120 cases we collected, male accounted for 74, female accounted for 46. After treated with TPM, the incidence of urolithiasis was 18.3%. All of urolithiasis were kidney stones. The stones caused by TPM were mostly single and small, most of which would disappear spontaneously after discontinuation of the medication. The incidence of asymptomatic urolithiasis was 3.4 times to that of symptomatic urolithiasis. The development of urolithiasis had no correlation with the dose of TPM and duration. Urolithiasis frequently occurred in epilepsy patients in the age over 20 or symptomatic epilepsy or duration of combined medication≥3 months. ConclusionsThe incidence of urolithiasis in epilepsy patients was 18.3% after initiating TPM therapy. The stones would disappear spontaneously after discontinuation of the medication. The development of urolithiasis had no correlation with the dose of topiramate and duration.
