Purpose: to analyze the course of urolithiasis in the civilian population, active and immobilized military personnel. Object and methods of the study. The study included 170 patients with urolithiasis, who were divided into three groups. The 1st group (n=50) included civilian patients, the 2nd (n=88) — active military personnel, the 3rd (n=32) — servicemen with immobilization, i.e. those who received injuries as a result of combat operations that led to limitations in physical activity. Results. The consistent nature of the changes, in particular the presence of leukocytosis, leukocyturia, and an increased frequency of stones, indicates the possible unity of pathogenetic mechanisms associated with the immobilization of servicemen. Conclusion. Immobilization of servicemen is characterized by an increased frequency of pathological changes in the urinary system, which is manifested by laboratory indicators of inflammation and in the form of structural lesions.
