RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Overweight/obesity is considered an independent risk factor for nephrolithiasis, but little is known about its effect on nephrolithiasis according to metabolic health status. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to investigate the association between various metabolic overweight phenotypes and the occurrence of nephrolithiasis. It also explores whether changes in these phenotypes over time influence the risk of nephrolithiasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 10,315 participants free of nephrolithiasis who underwent an annual health checkup from 2017 to 2022 were included in our prospective cohort study. They were categorized into four groups according to the presence of overweight and metabolic abnormalities (MA). The primary endpoint was the occurrence of renal stones. Multivariable Cox analysis was conducted to elucidate the relationship between metabolic overweight phenotypes and incident nephrolithiasis. RESULTS: During a median follow-up duration of 4.02 years, nephrolithiasis occurred in 1,468 (14.23%) participants. In the full cohort, we observed that the 5-year cumulative incidences of nephrolithiasis were highest in the metabolically healthy overweight (MHO) and metabolically abnormal overweight (MAO) groups. The hazard ratios (HRs) for nephrolithiasis, relative to metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW), ranged from 1.19 (95% CI:1.03-1.37; MHO) to 1.32 (95% CI:1.15-1.51; MAO). Furthermore, individuals with persistent MHO throughout follow-up were at a 1.42-fold increased risk of nephrolithiasis (P < 0.001), and 32.17% of individuals experienced changes in phenotype during follow-up. Among MAO subjects, those who transitioned to MHO and MHNW had a 26% and 45% lower risk of incident nephrolithiasis, respectively, compared to those who persisted in the MAO phenotype. CONCLUSION: Individuals in the MHO and MAO groups exhibit an elevated risk of incident nephrolithiasis in this prospective cohort study. A significant proportion of nephrolithiasis cases may be potentially preventable through the appropriate management of metabolic risk factors for MAO subjects.

BACKGROUND: Certain occupations may predispose individuals to urolithiasis, a multi-factorial disease. The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and related factors of nephrolithiasis in medical staff in Qingdao, China. METHODS: Physical examination results of 5115 in-service medical staff aged 22-60 years old were retrospectively analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression analysis and stratified analyses by age and gender were applied to explore the related factors of nephrolithiasis in these medical staff. RESULTS: The overall nephrolithiasis prevalence in medical staff in Qingdao, China was 4.65%. Doctors were more prone to nephrolithiasis than nurses (5.63% vs. 3.96%, P = 0.013) and the peak prevalence (6.69%) was observed in medical staff working in the emergency department (ED). Male gender (OR = 1.615, 95% CI = 1.123-2.323, P = 0.010), overweight or obesity (OR = 1.674, 95% CI = 1.266-2.214, P < 0.001), work seniority ≥ 10 years (OR = 2.489, 95%CI = 1.675-3.699, P < 0.001) and working in the ED (OR = 1.815, 95% CI = 1.202-2.742, P = 0.005) were independent predictors for nephrolithiasis in medical staff based on the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis. The associations between overweight or obesity and nephrolithiasis risk as well as between work seniority ≥ 10 years and nephrolithiasis risk in medical staff were independent of age or gender in stratified analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Nephrolithiasis prevalence in medical staff in Qingdao, China seemed not to be higher than that in the general population. Medical staff with work seniority ≥ 10 years and working in the ED should pay abundant attention to take measures to modify their nephrolithiasis risk.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the risk of nephrolithiasis across various demographic and clinical subgroups, aiming to enhance early diagnosis and treatment of nephrolithiasis and promote personalized care in diverse populations. METHODS: This cross-sectional study analyzed the medical records of 84 968 adults, stratified into three categories (low, middle, high) according to their TyG index scores. To evaluate the association between the TyG index and nephrolithiasis risk, multivariable Logistic regression models were employed, adjusting for potential confounders. Additionally, piecewise linear regression models were used to investigate the non-linear dynamics of the TyG index's relationship with nephrolithiasis risk. Subgroup analyses were performed to explore variations in the effects of the TyG index across different demographic and clinical populations. RESULTS: Increasing TyG index was associated with a higher risk of nephrolithiasis, rising from 4.36% in the low group to 8.96% in the high group (P < 0.001). In adjusted models, males in the middle and high TyG index categories demonstrated significantly elevated risks of nephrolithiasis, with odds ratios of 1.18 (95%CI: 1.07-1.31, P=0.002) and 1.29 (95%CI: 1.15-1.45, P < 0.001), respectively. Conversely, in females, the association was not statistically significant post-adjustment (OR=0.98, 95%CI: 0.82-1.16, P=0.778). Among males, for each unit increment in the TyG index below the critical threshold of 8.98, there was a notable 40% escalation in the risk of developing nephrolithiasis (OR=1.40, 95%CI: 1.24-1.58, P < 0.001). Surpassing this threshold, the TyG index no longer conferred a significant increase in risk (OR=0.91, 95%CI: 0.78-1.06, P=0.24). Subgroup analyses indicated that this association remained stable regardless of age, BMI, or hypertension status. CONCLUSION: The TyG index is positively associated with the risk of nephrolithiasis in males, demonstrating a nonlinear dose-response relationship that becomes especially pronounced at certain index levels. This biomarker could potentially serve as a valuable clinical tool for identifying males who are at a high risk of developing nephrolithiasis, thereby enabling targeted preventive strategies. Further research is urgently needed to explore the underlying mechanisms and to verify the applicability of these results across different populations.

This retrospective study investigated the incidence, medication use, and outcomes in pediatric autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). A 1:4 matched control group of individuals included in the NHIRD during the same period was used for comparative analyses. A total of 621 pediatric patients were identified from 2009 to 2019 (mean age, 9.51 ± 6.43 years), and ADPKD incidence ranged from 2.32 to 4.45 per 100,000 individuals (cumulative incidence, 1.26-1.57%). The incidence of newly developed hypertension, anti-hypertensive agent use, nephrolithiasis, and proteinuria were significantly higher in the ADPKD group than the non-ADPKD group (0.7 vs. 0.04, 2.26 vs. 0.30, 0.4 vs. 0.02, and 0.73 vs. 0.05 per 100 person-years, respectively). The adjusted hazard ratios for developing hypertension, proteinuria, nephrolithiasis and anti-hypertensive agent use in cases of newly-diagnosed pediatric ADPKD were 12.36 (95% CI 4.92-31.0), 13.49 (95% CI 5.23-34.79), 13.17 (95% CI 2.48-69.98), and 6.38 (95% CI 4.12-9.89), respectively. The incidence of congenital cardiac defects, hematuria, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal diverticulosis, dyslipidemia, and hyperuricemia were also higher in the ADPKD group. Our study offers valuable insights into the epidemiology of pediatric ADPKD in Taiwan and could help in formulating guidelines for its appropriate management.

This study aimed to examine the association between calcific rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCT) and nephrolithiasis and/or cholelithiasis. A case-control study was conducted on patients diagnosed with RCT between June 2016 and June 2022. RCT was confirmed by ultrasound, and patients were divided into 2 groups: calcific RCT (case) and non-calcific RCT (control). Data were collected retrospectively from electronic medical records and completed by phone calls, looking for a history of nephrolithiasis and/or cholelithiasis; based on clinical features or incidental findings on abdominal and pelvic imaging. A total of 210 patients with RCT were included. Among the 95 cases of calcific RCT, 43 had a history of lithiasis (45.3%) against 23 (20%) from the non-calcific RCT group (Pâ <â .001); 21 patients suffered from nephrolithiasis (22.1%) and 26 had cholelithiasis (27.4%) versus 10 (8.7%) (Pâ =â .006) and 16 (13.9%) (Pâ =â .015) in the non-calcific RCT group, respectively. Logistic regression showed that the independent predictors of calcific RCT included a history of nephrolithiasis (OR, 4.38; 95% CI: 1.61-11.92, Pâ =â .004) and a history of cholelithiasis (OR, 3.83; 95% CI: 1.64-8.94, Pâ =â .002). In patients with calcific RCT, the occurrence of lithiasis was significantly associated in the bivariate analysis with higher age, body mass index, fasting blood sugar, and HbA1c (all with Pâ <â .05), but only with the presence of another site of calcific tendinopathy than the shoulder (OR, 3.11; 95% CI: 1.12-8.65, Pâ =â .03) in the multivariate analysis. Nephrolithiasis and/or cholelithiasis are associated with calcific RCT, and their presence predicts calcific RCT at least 3 times. Further research is required to determine the common risk factors and preventive measures against lithogenesis in patients with calcific RCT, nephrolithiasis, and cholelithiasis.

Introduction and Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic and worldwide quarantine resulted in major changes in individual lifestyles. In New York State, March 16, 2020, marked the end of in-restaurant dining and a reported shift to more cooking at home. We investigated the 24-hour urine of patients with known history of nephrolithiasis to see if changes during COVID-19 pandemic altered the risk of stone disease. Methods: Retrospectively, patients with history of nephrolithiasis seen for an outpatient visit from April 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020, were studied. All patients had a 24-hour urine study "pre-COVID" defined as before March 16, 2020, "during-COVID" from March 16, 2020, to December 31, 2020; if available, "post-COVID" from January 1, 2021, to October 31, 2022, was also included. Mean study values were compared using paired, two-tailed t-tests. Results: Ninety-three patients (M = 54, F = 39) with a mean age of 60 years were evaluated. Twenty-four-hour urine revealed a significant reduction in urinary sodium (uNa) levels from pre-COVID (166.15 ± 7.51 mEq/L) compared with during-COVID (149.09 ± 7.55 mEq/L) (p = 0.015) and urinary calcium (uCa) levels from pre-COVID (214.18 ± 13.05 mg) compared with during-COVID (191.48 ± 13.03 mg) (p = 0.010). Post-COVID 24-hour urine (N = 73) levels for uNa (138.55 ± 6.83 mEq/L, p = 0.0035) and uCa (185.33 ± 12.61 mg, p = 0.012) remained significantly reduced compared with pre-COVID values, but with no difference compared with during-COVID values. Upon age stratification, this significance was found only in patients younger than 65. There were no significant differences in 24-hour urine total volume, magnesium, or citrate levels. Conclusions: During the COVID-19 lockdown, dietary choices limited to home-cooked meals allowed patients to better identify their food choices. This study demonstrates that home-cooked meals improved urinary parameters minimizing lithogenic risk factors for stone formation, including hypernatriuria and hypercalciuria. That these changes persisted into the post-COVID period may indicate improved dietary practices after the lockdown ended.

Aims: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the platelet/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (PHR) and the prevalence of nephrolithiasis within the adult population of the United States. Methods: The data used in this study were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2007 and 2018. The analysis included a non-pregnant population aged 20 years or older, providing proper PHR index and nephrolithiasis data. The research utilized subgroup analyses and weighted univariate and multivariable logistic regression to evaluate the independent association between the PHR and the susceptibility to nephrolithiasis. Results: The study comprised 30,899 participants with an average PHR value of 19.30 ± 0.11. The overall prevalence rate of nephrolithiasis was estimated at 9.98% with an increase in the higher PHR tertiles (T1, 8.49%; T2, 10.11%; T3, 11.38%, P < 0.0001). An elevated PHR level was closely linked with a higher susceptibility to nephrolithiasis. Compared with patients in T1, and after adjusting for potential confounders in model 2, the corresponding odds ratio for nephrolithiasis in T3 was 1.48 (95% CI: 1.06 to 2.08), with a P-value = 0.02. The results of the interaction tests revealed a significant impact of chronic kidney disease on the relationship between PHR and nephrolithiasis. Furthermore, the restricted cubic spline analyses exhibited a positive, non-linear correlation between PHR and the risk of nephrolithiasis. Conclusion: A convenient biomarker, the PHR, was independently associated with nephrolithiasis and could be a novel biomarker in predicting occurrence in clinical decision.

PURPOSES: Our aim is to build and evaluate models to screen for clinically significant nephrolithiasis in overweight and obesity populations using machine learning (ML) methodologies and simple health checkup clinical and urine parameters easily obtained in clinics. METHODS: We developed ML models to screen for clinically significant nephrolithiasis (kidney stone > 2 mm) in overweight and obese populations (body mass index, BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) using gender, age, BMI, gout, diabetes mellitus, estimated glomerular filtration rate, bacteriuria, urine pH, urine red blood cell counts, and urine specific gravity. The data were collected from hospitals in Kaohsiung, Taiwan between 2012 and 2021. RESULTS: Of the 2928 subjects we enrolled, 1148 (39.21%) had clinically significant nephrolithiasis and 1780 (60.79%) did not. The testing dataset consisted of data collected from 574 subjects, 235 (40.94%) with clinically significant nephrolithiasis and 339 (59.06%) without. One model had a testing area under curve of 0.965 (95% CI, 0.9506-0.9794), a sensitivity of 0.860 (95% CI, 0.8152-0.9040), a specificity of 0.947 (95% CI, 0.9230-0.9708), a positive predictive value of 0.918 (95% CI, 0.8820-0.9544), and negative predictive value of 0.907 (95% CI, 0.8756-0.9371). CONCLUSION: This ML-based model was found able to effectively distinguish the overweight and obese subjects with clinically significant nephrolithiasis from those without. We believe that such a model can serve as an easily accessible and reliable screening tool for nephrolithiasis in overweight and obesity populations and make possible early intervention such as lifestyle modifications and medication for prevention stone complications.

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the impact of nephrolithiasis diagnosis and treatment on health care utilization and identify predictors of barriers to care in the patient population. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the All of Us Database, a National Institutes of Health database targeting recruitment of underrepresented populations. Patients with a diagnosis of kidney stones were included and matched to a control group. Primary outcomes were patients' self-reported health care access and utilization. Univariable and multivariable regression analyses were performed. RESULTS: 9173 patients with a diagnosis of nephrolithiasis were included and matched to 9173 controls without a diagnosis of nephrolithiasis. Patients with kidney stones were less likely to have had >1 year since last provider visit (1.7% vs 3.8%, P <.001), but did not report increased delays obtaining care (31%), inability to afford care (11.4%), or higher likelihood of skipping medications (12.9%). Among patients with stones, 1208 (13.2%) had been treated surgically. On multivariable analysis, younger age, female sex, lower income, lower education, non-insured status, and lower physical and mental health were all associated with delays obtaining care, difficulty affording care, skipping medications, and/or prolonged time since seeing a provider. CONCLUSION: A diagnosis of nephrolithiasis and subsequent surgical intervention were not associated with an increase in patient-reported barriers to care. However, among patients with nephrolithiasis, younger, comorbid, female patients from lower socioeconomic status are at significant risk of being unable to access and utilize treatment.

PURPOSE: To investigate the incidence of nephrolithiasis in a cohort of children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), and to study if there is an association with the metabolic control of the disease. METHODS: This study was designed as a multicenter 1 year-prospective study involving 52 subjects (35 males) with confirmed molecular diagnosis of CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD). Each patient was evaluated at three different time-points: T0, T1 (+6 months of follow-up), T2 (+12 months of follow up). At each follow up visit, auxological data were collected, and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP), Δ4-androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) serum levels, and urinary excretion of creatinine, calcium, oxalate and citrate were assayed. Moreover, a renal ultrasound was performed. RESULTS: The incidence of nephrolithiasis, assessed by ultrasound was 17.3% at T0, 13.5% at T1 and 11.5% at T2. At T0, one subject showed nephrocalcinosis. In the study population, a statistically significant difference was found for 17-OHP [T0: 11.1 (3.0-25.1) ng/mL; T1: 7.1 (1.8-19.9) ng/mL; T2: 5.9 (2.0-20.0) ng/mL, p < 0.005], and Δ4-androstenedione [T0: 0.9 (0.3-2.5) ng/mL; T1: 0.3 (0.3-1.1) ng/mL; T2: 0.5 (0.3-1.5) ng/mL, p < 0.005] which both decreased over the follow up time. No statistically significant difference among metabolic markers was found in the group of the subjects with nephrolithiasis, even if 17-OHP, DHEAS and Δ4-androstenedione levels showed a tendency towards a reduction from T0 to T2. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to study possible hidden patterns of associations/correlations between variables, and to assess the trend of them during the time. PCA revealed a decrease in the amount of the variables 17-OHP, Δ4-androstenedione, and ACTH that occurred during follow-up, which was also observed in subjects showing nephrolithiasis. CONCLUSIONS: our data demonstrated that children affected with 21-OHD can be at risk of developing nephrolithiasis. Additional studies are needed to clarify the pathogenesis and other possible risk factors for this condition, and to establish if regular screening of kidney ultrasound in these patients can be indicated.

BACKGROUND: We aimed to investigate the prevalence, characteristics, and management of nephrolithiasis in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) patients. METHODS: Medical records of patients who underwent parathyroidectomy at a tertiary care hospital in British Columbia from January 2016 to April 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic data, laboratory results, imaging reports, and urologic consultations were examined. Descriptive statistics and relevant statistical tests, including logistic regressions, were utilized for data analysis. RESULT: Of the 413 PHPT patients included in the study population, 41.9% harbored renal stones, and nearly half (48.6%) required urological interventions. Male sex, elevated preoperative serum ionized calcium (iCa) and 24-h urinary calcium (24 âh urine Ca) levels were independent risk factors for stone formation. Additionally, male sex, younger age, and lower preoperative serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) level were associated with higher odds of requiring urological intervention for stones. CONCLUSIONS: This study identified significant prevalence of asymptomatic renal calcifications in PHPT patients, with a substantial proportion necessitating urological intervention. These findings emphasize the importance of incorporating screening and treatment of renal stones into the management of PHPT patients.

The prevalence of nephrolithiasis is increasing worldwide. Despite advances in understanding the pathogenesis of lithiasis, few studies have demonstrated that specific clinical interventions reduce the recurrence of nephrolithiasis. The aim of this review is to analyze the current data and potential effects of iSGLT2 in lithogenesis and try to answer the question: Should we also "gliflozin" our patients with kidney stone disease?

Importance: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with an increased risk of kidney stones. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) might lower the risk of nephrolithiasis by altering urine composition. However, no studies have investigated the association between SGLT2i use and nephrolithiasis risk in patients receiving routine care in the US. Objective: To investigate the association between SGLT2i use and nephrolithiasis risk in clinical practice. Design, Setting, and Participants: This new-user, active comparator cohort study used data from commercially insured adults (aged ≥18 years) with T2D who initiated treatment with SGLT2is, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), or dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4is) between April 1, 2013, and December 31, 2020. The data were analyzed from July 2021 through June 2023. Exposure: New initiation of an SGLT2i, GLP-1RA, or DPP4i. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was nephrolithiasis diagnosed by International Classification of Diseases codes in the inpatient or outpatient setting. New SGLT2i users were 1:1 propensity score matched to new users of a GLP-1RA or DPP4i in pairwise comparisons. Incidence rates, rate differences (RDs), and estimated hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs were calculated. Results: After 1:1 propensity score matching, a total of 716â¯406 adults with T2D (358â¯203 pairs) initiating an SGLT2i or a GLP-1RA (mean [SD] age, 61.4 [9.7] years for both groups; 51.4% vs 51.2% female; 48.6% vs 48.5% male) and 662â¯056 adults (331â¯028 pairs) initiating an SGLT2i or a DPP4i (mean [SD] age, 61.8 [9.3] vs 61.7 [10.1] years; 47.4% vs 47.3% female; 52.6% vs 52.7% male) were included. Over a median follow-up of 192 (IQR, 88-409) days, the risk of nephrolithiasis was lower in patients initiating an SGLT2i than among those initiating a GLP-1RA (14.9 vs 21.3 events per 1000 person-years; HR, 0.69 [95% CI, 0.67-0.72]; RD, -6.4 [95% CI, -7.1 to -5.7]) or a DPP4i (14.6 vs 19.9 events per 1000 person-years; HR, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.71-0.77]; RD, -5.3 [95% CI, -6.0 to -4.6]). The association between SGLT2i use and nephrolithiasis risk was similar by sex, race and ethnicity, history of chronic kidney disease, and obesity. The magnitude of the risk reduction with SGLT2i use was larger among adults aged younger than 70 years vs aged 70 years or older (HR, 0.85 [95% CI, 0.79-0.91]; RD, -3.46 [95% CI, -4.87 to -2.05] per 1000 person-years; P for interaction <.001). Conclusions and Relevance: These findings suggest that in adults with T2D, SGLT2i use may lower the risk of nephrolithiasis compared with GLP-1RAs or DPP4is and could help to inform decision-making when prescribing glucose-lowering agents for patients who may be at risk for developing nephrolithiasis.

Resumen Objetivo: La litiasis renal es la tercera enfermedad urológica más común, siendo una causa considerable de morbilidad por la sintomatología que presenta. Aunque es conocida en otros países, incluyendo Latinoamérica, en el nuestro no disponemos de informes sobre la situación, razón por la cual este estudio pretende establecer la composición bioquímica diferencial de los cálculos renales más frecuentes, para así distinguir epidemiológicamente si existen variables entre las edades y sexo. Métodos: Se encontraron 291 casos de pacientes cuyas muestras fueron referidas al centro en el periodo de 1 octubre de 2015 al 30 de septiembre de 2017. Se realizaron descripciones de las variables clínico-biológicas, y comparaciones estadísticas entre la composición bioquímica de los cálculos renales y edades descritas, para encontrar diferencias entre sexos. Resultados: Hay una mayor prevalencia de litiasis renal en hombres (62 %), en comparación con las mujeres (38 %). La mediana de presentación de la litiasis renal fue de 45 años. Se presentó en la quinta década de edad en hombres y en la cuarta década de edad en mujeres. Los compuestos oxalato de calcio, carbonato de apatita, ácido úrico y estruvita fueron los más prevalentes en litiasis renal. Conclusión: La situación de la litiasis renal en Costa Rica fue similar a la descrita en otros países. Se observa un mayor rango etario en la distribución de la enfermedad en ambos sexos. La enfermedad en el país representa un problema multifactorial en el cual las comorbilidades y los factores dietarios propician la litiasis renal.
Summary Aim: Kidney stones are the third most common urological disease, after urinary infection and prostatic disease. It is a considerable cause of morbility due to the symptoms it presents, causing many consults to the health system. This disease is well known in other countries, including Latinoamerica, but in our country there is no information available about our statistics. This study pretends to stablish the frequency of differential and biochemical composition of kidney stones in our population and distinguish differences between age and gender. Methods: 291 cases whose kidney stones samples were referred to our center in the period from October first, 2015 to September 30th, 2017. Description of the clinical and biological variables was made, and statistical comparisons were made in terms of biochemical composition, gender and age to find differences. Results: There was a higher prevalence of kidney stones in men (62%) compared to women (38%). The median age of presentation of the disease was 45 years. It occurs in the fifth decade of life in 80 Acta méd costarric Vol 62 (2), abril-junio 2020men and the forth decade in women. The compounds calcium oxalate, apatite carbonate, uric acidand struvite were the most prevalent among the patients. Conclusion: The situation of renal lithiasis in Costa Rica is similar to that described in other countries. A greater age range was observed in the distribution of the disease in both sexes. The disease in the country represents a multifactorial problem in which comorbidities and dietary factors favor renal lithiasis.

Abstract Introduction: Nephrolithiasis has a worldwide prevalence of approximately 5 to 15%, and its occurrence is associated with age, sex, race, dietary habits, geographic location, climatic conditions, and other factors. The objective of the present study was to determine the association between climate and the number of hospitalizations for nephrolithiasis (NH) in Brazilian cities located in different climatic regions. Methods: We analyzed data from cities with tropical and subtropical climates. The effects of the lowest (LT), mean (MT), and highest (HT) monthly temperatures and relative humidity of the air (RH) were assessed. Results: A positive association was found between the number of hospitalizations for nephrolithiasis and temperature ((LT x NH; R2=0.218; P<0.0001) (MT x NH; R2=0.284; P<0.0001) (HT x NH; R2=0.317; P<0.0001)), and a negative association was found between the number of hospitalizations for nephrolithiasis and the relative humidity (RH x NH; R2=0.234; P<0.0001). Interactions were also observed between MT and RH with respect to their effects on the NH, as described by a linear model (NH = 4.688 + 0.296 x MT - 0.088 x RH). The NH was higher in cities with tropical climates than in cities with subtropical climates (82.4 ± 10.0 vs 28.2 ± 1.6; P<0.00001). Conclusion: There is an association between the NH and variations in temperature and relative humidity.
Resumo Introdução: A prevalência mundial da nefrolitíase situa-se entre 5% e 15%. Sua ocorrência está associada a idade, sexo, raça, hábitos alimentares, localização geográfica, condições climáticas e outros fatores. O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar a associação entre clima e número de internações por nefrolitíase (IN) em cidades brasileiras localizadas em diferentes regiões climáticas. Métodos: Analisamos dados de cidades com climas tropicais e subtropicais. Nossa avaliação considerou os efeitos das temperaturas mensais mais baixas (TMB), sua média (TM) e mais altas (TMA) e da umidade relativa do ar (UR). Resultados: Foi identificada associação positiva entre o número de internações por nefrolitíase e temperatura ((TMB vs. IN; R2 = 0,218; P<0,0001) (TM vs. IN; R2 = 0,284; P<0,0001) (TMA vs. IN; R2 = 0,317; P<0,0001)) e associação negativa entre o número de internações por nefrolitíase e umidade relativa do ar (UR vs. IN; R2 = 0,234; P <0,0001). Também foram observadas interações entre TM e UR com relação aos seus efeitos sobre a IN, conforme descrito por um modelo linear (IN = 4,668 + 0,296 x TM - 0,088 x UR). IN foi mais acentuada nas cidades com climas tropicais do que nas cidades com climas subtropicais (82,4 ± 10,0 vs. 28,2 ± 1,6; P<0,00001). Conclusão: Existe associação entre IN e variações de temperatura e umidade relativa.

Abstract Background: The aims of this article were to assess the prevalence of nephrolithiasis and the factors associated with nephrolithiasis in Brazilian patients with primary gout. Methods: One hundred twenty-three patients with primary gout were recruited from a tertiary referral hospital in São Paulo, Brazil. All patients underwent ultrasonography and had their clinical and laboratory characteristics assessed. Results: One hundred fifteen (93.5%) patients were male, with a mean age of 62.9 ± 9.4 years. Twenty-three (18.7%) patients had asymptomatic nephrolithiasis (detected only by ultrasonography), 7 (6.0%) had symptomatic nephrolithiasis (detected by ultrasonography and a positive clinical history), and 13 (10.0%) had a history of kidney stones, but ultrasonography at evaluation did not show nephrolithiasis. Therefore, 35.0% of the patients had nephrolithiasis (detected either by ultrasonography and/or a positive clinical history). Nephrolithiasis was associated with male gender (43 [100%] vs 72 [90%], p = 0.049), the use of potassium citrate (13 [30.2%] vs 0, p < 0.001) and the use of medications for diabetes (10 [23.3%] vs 8 [10%], p = 0.047) and dyslipidemia (15 [34.9%] vs 10 [12.5%], p = 0.003); benzbromarone had an inverse association with nephrolithiasis (21 [48.8%] vs 55 [68.8%], p = 0.030). In patients with and without nephrolithiasis, no differences were found in the laboratory and ultrasonography characteristics, including serum uric acid levels, urinary uric acid excretion and urine pH. Conclusions: The prevalence of nephrolithiasis in primary gout was 35.0%, and 18.7% of the patients were asymptomatic. Nephrolithiasis was associated with male gender, diabetes and dyslipidemia. A positive history of nephrolithiasis probably biased the prescription of potassium citrate and benzbromarone.(AU)

Fundamento y objetivo: La litiasis renal es una de las enfermedades urológicas más importantes. Parece estar relacionada con factores sociodemográficos y climáticos, estilos de vida y comorbilidad preexistente. El objetivo de este trabajo fue examinar la relación entre variables sociodemográficas, ciertos factores de riesgo y enfermedades crónicas, y la litiasis renal. Pacientes y método: Se realizó un estudio transversal, seleccionando a población española de 40 a 65 años, combinando 2 muestras aleatorias (PreLiRenA y PreLiRenE). Los datos fueron recogidos por encuestas telefónicas personales, recopilando información sobre variables sociodemográficas y la morbilidad percibida. También se recogieron datos sobre las temperaturas medias anuales en cada región española. Se realizó un análisis bivariado y multivariado. Resultados: Fueron encuestados 4.894 sujetos; el 51,3% eran mujeres; el 25% tenían entre 40 y 45 años; el 36% tenían educación primaria y el 31,4% eran de clase social baja. La prevalencia global de litiasis renal fue del 15,0% (intervalo de confianza al 95% [IC 95%] 14,5-15,5). Por medio del análisis multivariado, las variables que mostraron una fuerte relación estadística con la presencia de litiasis renal fueron: edad avanzada (61-65 años, OR=1,39; IC 95% 1,06-1,8), clase social alta (OR=1,98; IC 95% 1,29-2,62), antecedentes familiares de litiasis renal (OR=2,22; IC 95% 1,88-2,65), hipertensión arterial (OR=1,68; IC 95% 1,39-2,02) y sobrepeso/obesidad (OR=1,31; IC 95% 1,12-1,54). Se observó una correlación entre la litiasis renal y las temperaturas medias anuales en las regiones españolas (r=0,59; p=0,013). Conclusiones: Existe relación entre litiasis renal y edad avanzada, pertenecer a clases sociales altas, existencia de antecedentes familiares de urolitiasis, y tener hipertensión y sobrepeso/obesidad. La prevalencia de la litiasis renal es mayor en las zonas climáticas más cálidas (AU)
Background and objective: Renal lithiasis is one of the most important urological diseases. It seems to be related to different socio-demographic and climatic factors, lifestyle and pre-existing comorbidity. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between socio-demographic variables, certain risk factors and chronic diseases and the renal lithiasis. Patients and method: A cross-sectional population-based study was carried out, selecting the Spanish population aged from 40 to 65 years, combining 2 random samples (PreLiRenA and PreLiRenE studies). Data were collected by personal telephone surveys, gathering information on socio-demographic variables and perceived morbidity. Data on annual average temperatures in each Spanish region were also collected. A bivariate and multivariate analysis was performed. Results: A total of 4,894 subjects were surveyed; 51.3% were women; 25% were aged 40-45 years, 36% had primary school education and 31.4% were of low social class. The overall prevalence of renal lithiasis was 15.0% (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 14.5-15.5). By means of multivariate analysis, the variables that showed a strong statistical relationship with the presence of renal lithiasis were: older age (61-65 years; OR=1.39; 95% CI 1.06-1.80), high social class (OR=1.98; 95% CI 1.29-2.62), family history of renal lithiasis (OR=2.22; 95% CI 1.88-2.65), high blood pressure (OR=1.68; 95% CI 1.39-2.02) and overweight/obesity (OR=1.31; 95% CI 1.12-1.54). A correlation was observed between renal lithiasis and average annual temperatures in the Spanish regions (r=0.59; P=.013). Conclusions: A relationship was observed between renal lithiasis and older age, belonging to higher social classes, the existence of a family history of urolithiasis, and hypertension and overweight or obesity. The prevalence of renal lithiasis is greater in warmer climate zones (AU)

La obesidad se ha convertido en una epidemia mundial, y se ha proyectado que su prevalencia se incrementará en un 40% en la próxima década. Esta creciente prevalencia supone implicaciones tanto para el riesgo de desarrollo de diabetes y enfermedades cardiovasculares como para el desarrollo de enfermedad renal crónica. Un elevado índice de masa corporal es uno de los factores de riesgo más importantes para el desarrollo de enfermedad renal crónica. En individuos afectados por la obesidad, tiene lugar una hiperfiltración compensatoria necesaria para alcanzar la alta demanda metabólica secundaria al aumento del peso corporal. El incremento de la presión intraglomerular puede generar daño renal y elevar el riesgo de desarrollar enfermedad renal crónica a largo plazo. La incidencia de glomerulopatía asociada a obesidad se ha incrementado 10 veces en los últimos años. Así mismo se ha demostrado que la obesidad es un factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de nefrolitiasis y un número de neoplasias, incluyendo cáncer renal. Este año, el Día Mundial del Riñón promueve la educación acerca de las consecuencias nocivas de la obesidad y su asociación con la enfermedad renal, abogando por un estilo de vida saludable y la implementación de políticas públicas de salud que promuevan medidas preventivas alcanzables (AU)

OBJETIVO: La hipercalciuria constituye un factor de riesgo litógeno frecuente. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido, en primer lugar, examinar las características de los factores bioquímicos que componen la orina de los niños con hipercalciuria (HC) y compararlas con las de niños normales. En segundo lugar, analizar las diferencias que presentan los niños con hipercalciuria y litiasis (HCL) de los niños con hipercalciuria sin litiasis (HSL) MÉTODOS: Muestra constituida por 111 casos con HC, divididos en 2 grupos: grupo HSL, compuesto por 93 casos sin historia personal de litiasis renal, grupo HCL, 18 casos con historia personal de litiasis renal. Como grupo control se utilizó una cohorte de 113 niños sanos. En sangre y en orina de 24 horas se determinaron los siguientes parámetros: creatinina, urea, sodio, potasio, cloro, ácido úrico, calcio, fósforo, magnesio y osmolalidad. En la orina se determinó oxalato y citrato. RESULTADOS: En comparación con el grupo control, los valores medios de la natriuresis, uricosuria, fosfaturia, magnesuria, citraturia, saturación de sales oxalato cálcico y saturación de fosfato cálcico estaban más elevados en las HSL. El grupo HCL presentaba la fosfaturia, saturación de oxalato cálcico y fosfato cálcico más elevadas en comparación con el grupo control. No había diferencias significativas en la excreción urinaria de los distintos parámetros cuando se compararon los grupos HSL y HCL. CONCLUSIONES: Nuestros resultados muestran que en los niños con hipercalciuria sin litiasis asociada existe una elevación en la excreción renal de sodio, ácido úrico, magnesio, y citrato. No encontramos diferencias entre estas anomalías urinarias cuando comparamos los casos con hipercalciuria sin litiasis de aquellos que presentan hipercalciuria y litiasis asociada
OBJECTIVE: Hypercalciuria is a common lithogenic risk factor. The aim of this study was, first, to study the characteristics of urine biochemical factors of children with hypercalciuria (HC) and compare them with those of children without hypercalciuria. Second, to analyze the differences between children with HC and lithiasis (HCL) and children with HC and no lithiasis (HCNL). METHODS: The sample was composed by 111 cases with HC, divided into 2 groups: HCNL group, consisting of 93 cases with no personal history of kidney stones, and HCL group, 18 cases with personal history of kidney stones. As a cohort control group, 113 healthy children were used. Creatinine, urea, sodium, potassium, chlorine, uric acid, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and osmolality: blood and 24-hour urine following parameters were determined. Oxalate and citrate were determined in urine. RESULTS: The mean values of natriuresis, uricosuria, phosphaturia, magnesuria, citraturia, calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate saturation were higher in HCNL than in control group. The HCL group had phosphaturia, calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate saturations more elevated compared with the control group. There were no significant differences in urinary excretion of various parameters when the groups HCL and HCNL were compared. CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that children with hypercalciuria without lithiasis associated show an increase in natriuresis, phosphaturia, uricosuria, magnesuria and citraturia. We found no differences between these urinary abnormalities when compared hypercalciuric children without lithiasis with those with hypercalciuria and urolithiasis
