Kidney Stone Disease: An Update on Current Concepts
Kidney stone disease is a crystal concretion formed usually within the kidneys. It is an increasing urological disorder of human health, a3ecting about 12% of the world population. It has been associated with an increased risk of end-stage renal failure. ,e etiology of kidney stone is multifactorial. ,e most common type of kidney stone is calcium oxalate formed at Randall’s plaque on the renal papillary surfaces. ,e mechanism of stone formation is a complex process which results from several physicochemical events including supersatur...
Dietary and lifestyle factors for primary prevention of nephrolithiasis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract
Background: Dietary and lifestyle factors may play an important role in the increasing prevalence of nephrolithiasis.
We aimed to review and quantify the associations between lifestyle factors and incident nephrolithiasis and suggest
lifestyle changes for the primary prevention of nephrolithiasis.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched up to May 2019, for observational studies and
randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed modifiable ...
Whey protein and albumin effects upon urinary risk factors
for stone formation
Abstract Protein supplements are consumed for an expected increase in muscle mass and improved exercise
performance, but as their impact on lithogenic parameters are unknown, we aimed to evaluate the effects of Whey
protein (WP) and Albumin upon the risk factors for nephrolithiasis. WP or Albumin supplements (one scoop/day)
were administered for 3 days to 18 healthy volunteers, with 1-week washout period between them. Serum and
24-h urine samples were collected at baseline and after completing each interv...
“Green Smoothie Cleanse” Causing Acute Oxalate Nephropathy
Oxalate nephropathy is an uncommon condition that causes acute kidney injury with the potential for progression to end-stage renal disease. Diagnosis is based on the kidney biopsy findings of abundant polarizable calcium oxalate crystals in the epithelium and lumen of renal tubules. We report a case of acute oxalate nephropathy in a 65-year-old woman, temporally associated with the consumption of an oxalate-rich green smoothie juice “cleanse” prepared from juicing oxalate-rich green leafy vegetables and fruits. Predisposing ...
The Efficacy of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids as Protectors against Calcium Oxalate Renal Stone
Formation: A Review
Abstract: In the pathogenesis of hypercalciuria and hyperoxaluria, n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been implicated by virtue of their metabolic links with arachidonic acid (AA) and prostaglandin PGE2. Studies have also shown that n-3 PUFAs, particularly those in fish oil—eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)—can serve as competitive substrates for AA in the n-6 series and can be incorporated into cell membrane phospholipids in the latter...
Mediterranean diet adherence and risk of incident kidney stones
ABSTRACT
Background: Diet plays an important role in kidney stone formation. Several individual components have been associated with the risk of kidney stone formation, but there is limited evidence regarding the role of healthful dietary patterns.
Objective: To prospectively study the association between adherence to theMediterranean diet and the risk of incident kidney stones.
Methods: We conducted a longitudinal study using 3 different cohorts: the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (n=42,902 men), the Nurses’ Health ...
Which Diet for Calcium Stone Patients: A Real-World Approach to Preventive Care
Abstract: Kidney stone disease should be viewed as a systemic disorder, associated with or predictive of hypertension, insulin resistance, chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular damage. Dietary and lifestyle changes represent an important strategy for the prevention of kidney stone recurrences and cardiovascular damage. A full screening of risk factors for kidney stones and for cardiovascular damage should be recommended in all cases of calcium kidney stone disease, yet it is rarely performed outside of ...
