Nutrition and Kidney Stone Disease
Abstract: The prevalence of kidney stone disease is increasing worldwide. The recurrence rate of urinary stones is estimated to be up to 50%. Nephrolithiasis is associated with increased risk of chronic and end stage kidney disease. Diet composition is considered to play a crucial role in urinary stone formation. There is strong evidence that an inadequate fluid intake is the major dietary risk factor for urolithiasis. While the benefit of high fluid intake has been confirmed, the effect of different beverages, such as tap water, mineral water, fruit ...

Nutritional Management of Kidney Stones (Nephrolithiasis)
The incidence of kidney stones is common in the United States and treatments for them are very costly. This review article provides information about epidemiology, mechanism, diagnosis, and pathophysiology of kidney stone formation, and methods for the evaluation of stone risks for new and follow-up patients. Adequate evaluation and management can prevent recurrence of stones. Kidney stone prevention should be individualized in both its medical and dietary management, keeping in mind the specific risks involved for each type of ...

Diet-Induced Low-Grade Metabolic Acidosis and Clinical Outcomes: A Review
Abstract: Low-grade metabolic acidosis is a condition characterized by a slight decrease in blood pH, within the range considered normal, and feeding is one of the main factors that may influence the occurrence of such a condition. The excessive consumption of acid precursor foods (sources of phosphorus and proteins), to the detriment of those precursors of bases (sources of potassium, calcium, and magnesium), leads to acid-base balance volubility. If this condition occurs in a prolonged, chronic way, low-grade ...

Risk of Kidney Stones: Influence of Dietary Factors, Dietary Patterns, and Vegetarian–Vegan Diets
Abstract: Nephrolithiasis is a common medical condition influenced by multiple environmental factors, including diet. Since nutritional habits play a relevant role in the genesis and recurrence of kidney stones disease, dietary manipulation has become a fundamental tool for the medical management of nephrolithiasis. Dietary advice aims to reduce the majority of lithogenic risk factors, reducing the supersaturation of urine, mainly for calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, and uric acid. For ...

Vulvovaginal Candidosis: Current Concepts, Challenges and Perspectives
Abstract: Vulvovaginal candidosis (VVC) is a frequently occurring infection of the lower female
genital tract, mostly aecting immuno-competent women at childbearing age. Candida albicans is
the most prevalent pathogenic yeast—apart from other non-albicans species—related to this fungal
infection. Dierent virulence factors of C. albicans have been identified, which increase the risk of
developing VVC. To initiate treatment and positively influence the disease course, fast and reliable
diagnosis is crucial. In ...
