Abstract
The case of crystalluria occurs in almost all types of work. However, its prevalence has not been recorded since crystalluria is the early indicator for urolithiasis and urinary tract disorder. Crystalluria found either in person in normal condition or disorder. In normal people, the crystalluria will disappear within a few days if the person is controlling and avoiding the risk factors. This study aims to look at the relationship between job factors and individual factors with crystalluria cases in welding workers. The study's sample was 220 workers out of 1,253 population at the Welding Department Industry Automotive X Jakarta. Primary data collection was done through a questionnaire, interviewed, measured body weight before and after work, measured of wet and bulb globe temperature (WBGT) in the workspace. Then, secondary data collection was done through employees' medical checkup records (MCU). Univariate and bivariate analyses were used by chi-square and independent T-test. The research found that the significant risk factors to the occurrence of crystalluria were body weight (OR = 1,38; 95% CI = 1,09 to 1,92), the balance of body fluids (OR = 5,77; 95% CI = 2,79 to 11,33), and high purine foods consumption (P-value of 0,04; SD: 237,1). So, the recommendation for controlling risk factors of crystalluria is increasing physical activity, hydration, and dietary adjustments.
