The aim of this study was to review the studies reporting the effects of different dietary interventions … Leggi tutto
Subjects with idiopathic uric acid nephrolithiasis had lower urine pH (5.5 versus 5.9; P,0.001) andhigher net acid excretion (60 versus 43 mEq/24 h; P,0.001), with the excess H+ carried by nonammoniumbuffers. In all subjects, there was a positive relationship of net acid excretion with higher body mass indexin spite of strictly controlled equivalent dietary acid … Leggi tutto
Higher acid load to the kidney, resulting in higher urinary net acid excretion, is an important factor inthe pathogenesis of idiopathic uric acid nephrolithiasis.Clin J Am Soc Nephrol 14: 411–420, 2019. doi: https://doi.org/10.2215/CJN.10420818 0
Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is characterized by an impaired ability of the distal tubule to excrete acid, leading to metabolic acidosis. Associated complications include bone disease, growth failure, urolithiasis and hypokalaemia. Due to its rarity, there is limited evidence to guide diagnosis and management; however, available data strongly suggest that metabolic control of the … Leggi tutto
