Background: Complete blood count (CBC) parameters may associated with multiple diseases. Urinary stone disease is commonpublic problem. Predictive value of CBC parameters may be associated with urinary stone diseaseObjectives: To analyze the association between complete blood count (CBC) parameters and urinary stone disease.Patients and Methods: This study was a retrospective observational study of 3,099 patients who were admitted to the urologyoutpatient clinic or diagnosed with urinary stone disease in the emergency services department. There were 353 patients included inthe study that had ultrasonography (USG) and/or non-contrast computerized tomography (NCCT) and a CBC. Patients who had nonurinarysystem inflammatory disease in USG or NCCT, had fever, non-urinary system infection, anemia or diagnosed hematologicmalignancy were excluded (n = 27). Patients were divided into two groups: a stone group (n = 74) and a control group (n = 252). Dataof patients were retrieved from the hospital database and statistical analysis was performed.Results: An increase in RDW, MPV, PDW, WBC, granulocyte percentage and a decrease in lymphocyte percentage is statistically associatedwith urinary stone disease (P< 0,001, P< 0.001, P = 0.006, P< 0.001, P = 0.003, P = 0.034, respectively). Microscopic hematuriais associated with urinary stone disease and the odds ratio for urinary stone prediction is 67.7 (P < 0.001). In addition, none of theCBC parameters were associated with stone burden.Conclusions: When evaluating flank pain in patients, it is important to remember that CBC parameters may support urinary stonedisease, and considering CBC results may be useful in the diagnosis of urinary stone disease.
