Empagliflozin Changes Urine Supersaturation by Decreasing pH and Increasing Citrate

… This post hoc analysis shows that SGLT2i may reduce kidney calciumcontaining stone risk by decreasing the RSR of CaP minerals in healthy subjects. This effect seems to be mediated by increased urinary citrate and reduced urinary pH. Prospective trials with kidney stone formers are needed to evaluate the effect of SGLT2i in secondary prevention of nephrolithiasis. 

Kidney Stones, Proteinuria and Renal Tubular Metabolic Acidosis: What Is the Link?

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

DASH-Style Diet and 24-Hour Urine Composition

Background and objectives: We previously observed associations between a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)-style diet and large reductions in kidney stone risk. This study examined associations between a DASH-style diet and 24-hour excretions of urinary lithogenic factors. Conclusions: A DASH-style diet may reduce stone risk by increasing urinary citrate and volume. The small associations … Leggi tutto

Distal renal tubular acidosis: ERKNet/ESPN clinical practice points

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
