Nephrolithiasis is a multifactorial disease affecting >10% of the population worldwide. In this chapter we discuss the pathophysiology of frequent kidney stone types, describe metabolic workup and preventative approaches commonly used in kidney stone formers and review urological techniques for stone removal. 0

Kidney stone disease represents a rare cause of chronic kidney disease (2–3%) but has severe clinical consequences. Type 1 renal tubular acidosis is a strong lithogenic condition mainly related to primary Sjögren syndrome. This study aimed to illustrate an unusual presentation of Sjögren syndrome to improve the knowledge about rare kidney stone diseases, and to … Leggi tutto
enetic factors play a key role in the pathogenesis of hypocitraturia, a common risk factor for nephrolithiasis. The Na+-dicarboxylate cotransporter NaDC1, encoded by the sodium-dicarboxylate cotransporter (SLC13A2) gene, is a major determinant of urinary citrate excretion and its biological functions are regulated also by the vitamin D/Vitamin D receptor (VDR) biological system. The aim of … Leggi tutto

Diet interventions may reduce the risk of urinary stone formation and its recurrence, but there is no conclusive consensus in the literature regarding the effectiveness of dietary interventions and recommendations about specific diets for patients with urinary calculi. 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
