Objective: Using data from the NHANES collected between 2007-2018, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between the prevalence of kidney stones and metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and measure the effect of physical activity as a modifying factor.
Methods: This cross-sectional analysis included 12,498 participants aged ≥20 years who were categorized into six groups based on their metabolic status (healthy or unhealthy) and BMI (normal, overweight, and obesity). Kidney stone history was self-reported.
Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the distribution patterns of bacteria and to elucidate the distinctions in stone composition and metabolism.
Methods: A review of 205 cases of staghorn stones treated at Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital from January 2016 to June 2024 was conducted. Data on preoperative mid-course urine culture, blood biochemistry, 24-hour urine and postoperative stone composition were collected.
Article Synopsis
- Bilateral upper urinary tract stones are more likely to cause kidney function issues compared to unilateral stones, and a study analyzed data from 555 patients to explore metabolic differences between these groups.
- The study found that male patients and those with hyperuricemia had a higher risk of developing bilateral stones, with distinct metabolic abnormalities found, including low urine volume and higher levels of uric acid and creatinine.
- Results suggest that increasing water intake can help prevent stone formation, especially in patients with elevated uric acid levels.
