Objectives: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in prostate cancer is associated with the appearance of different adverse effects. Among these effects, notable ones that may affect metabolism are osteoporosis and metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study is to analyse lithogenic risk markers three months after initiating treatment with LHRH analogue.

Purpose: To determine whether androgen blockade produces metabolic changes in urine and increases the risk of calculi after 1 year of treatment.
Materials And Methods: The study included 38 patients, from the period April 2015 to June 2016, diagnosed with locally advanced prostate cancer or lymph node metastasis, and with an indication of androgen blockade. Androgen blockade was started with luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogues, and a blood specimen, a fasting urine and 24-h urine were collected at the time of inclusion, and then at 1 year of follow-up.
Background And Objective: Androgenic deprivation therapy in prostate cancer is associated with the onset of different adverse effects, including osteoporosis and metabolic syndrome. Both are related to the onset of nephrolithiasis. The objective of this article is to study the incidence of renal stones in patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy with LHRH analogue.
