SUMMARY. The aim – establish the dependence of the functional state of the neuromuscular structures of the urinary bladder and its sphincter apparatus in patients with urolithiasis with post- covid syndrome on the degree of mineral salt metabolism disorder.
Material and Methods. The study group included 41 patients with urolithiasis with post-covid syndrome. Of them, 26 are men and 15 are women. All patients underwent a comprehensive examination using both generally accepted and special diagnostic methods. EMG of the urinary bladder and its sphincter apparatus was used to determine the functional state of the muscles that provide dynamic activity of the lower urinary tract. Electromyographic examination of the bladder and its sphincter apparatus was carried out on a 4-channel electromyograph "Medicor M-440", (Hungary).
Results. After the treatment, depending on the disturbance of the metabolism of mineral stone-forming salts, a positive effect and correlation of clinical and neurophysiological indicators were noted in 87.4 %. In 12.6 % of cases, patients who subjectively did not note a positive effect of the treatment, also did not notice positive dynamics during EMG.
Conclusions. 1. During the electromyographic examination of patients with urolithiasis with post-covid syndrome, a violation of the functional state of the lower urinary tract was detected.
- Improvement of the degree of disturbance in the metabolism of mineral stone-forming salts led to the correction of electromyographic indicators of the lower urinary tract.
