Archivio italiano di urologia, andrologia : organo ufficiale [di] Società italiana di ecografia urologica e nefrologica / Associazione ricerche in urologia, 2015

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 for the modification of urinary risk factors in patients with urinary stone disease. A systematic search of the Pubmed database literature up to July 1, 2014 for studies on dietary treatment of urinary risk factors for urinary stone formation was conducted according to a methodology developed a priori. Studies were screened by titles and abstracts for eligibility. Data were extracted using a standardized form and the quality of evidence was assessed. Evidence from the selected studies were used to form evidencebased guideline statements. In the absence of sufficient evidence, additional statements were developed as...

A Retrospective observational study on dietary factors influencing Urolithiasis

International journal of scientific and research publications, 2020

Urolithiasis is defined as the multi factorial disorder which involves the process of forming stones anywhere in the urinary tract (kidney, ureter, and bladder).Out of many factors diet plays a major role in forming urolithiasis. If left untreated it can lead to severe complications. Dietary and life style modifications can make a change. Methodology: This study is a retrospective observational study and the data is collected from patients who are diagnosed with urolithiasis in a tertiary care hospital which includes 160 patients and their data is collected using food frequency questionnaire form which is validated by the senior urologist. Results: Among the 160 patients, 103 patients were males and 57 females. The participants were belonged to the age group of 19 to 88 (p value <0.001).As per our study the major risk factors are high intake of oxalate rich food, high animal protein diet, less fluid intake and more salt intake will increase the risk of urolithiasis. It was found ...

Fad diets and their effect on urinary stone formation

Abstract: The influence of unhealthy dietary habits on urinary stone formation has been widely recognized in literature. Dietary advice is indeed the cornerstone prescription for prevention of nephrolithiasis as well. However, only a small amount of medical literature has addressed the influence of popular or fad diets, often self-prescribed for the management of obesity and overweight or for cultural beliefs, on the risk of kidney stones. Thereby in this paper we analyze the current knowledge on the effects of some popular diets on overall lithogenic risk. High-protein diets, like Dukan diet, raise some concerns, since animal proteins are able to increase urinary calcium and to decrease urinary citrate excretion, thus leading to a high overall lithogenic risk. Low-carbohydrate diets, like Atkins diet or zone diet, may have a protective role against kidney stone formation, but there are also evidences stating that this dietary approach may rise calciuria and decrease citraturia, sin...

The relationship between kidney stones and dietary habits

Research and Reports in Urology

Background: Kidney stones are considered a serious disease, due to the great discomfort that they can cause and may even lead to renal failure. Dietary habits could be the reason behind stone formation in kidneys. Methods: Twelve kidney stone samples were collected and analyzed together with typical foodstuffs frequently consumed in the Koya area using the x-ray fluorescent technique. Results: All the analyzed stones were found to be calcium-based. The results show that elements such as Ca, Zr, S and Cl can be regarded as the core elements for the formation of kidney stones in Koya city in north Iraq. Conclusion: Many dietary foods and drink frequently consumed by the people in Koya city were observed to contain the core elements. However, more studies are needed to demonstrate if dietary intake may be the main source for kidney stone formation.

Association of kidney stone disease with dietary factors: a review

Anthropological Review

Kidney stone disease is one of the most common urologic disorders worldwide. The incidence of kidney stones disease is increasing all over the world. It is a multifactorial disease accompanied by various factors. The dietary factor is one of the most important risk factors for the formation and recurrence of kidney stone disease. Formation and recurrence of kidney stone disease can be prevented by modifying our day to day dietary habits. Fewer intakes of animal protein, higher intake of fluid, higher intake of fruits, and higher intake of green leafy vegetables, which contain a low amount of oxalate, can prevent the formation of kidney stones and recurrence of kidney stones. From this review, it may be presumed that the higher prevalence rate of kidney stone disease in northeast India may be the dietary factors accompanied by environmental and climatic conditions of the region.

Importance of Diet in Prevention of Kidney Stones

Renal stones, also known as renal calculi (singular calculus), are the most common disease of the urinary tract affecting about 10% of the global population. The pathophysiology of renal stone formation is very complex and involves multiple factors. Diet plays a major role in the concentration of a number of urinary solutes and inhibitors involved in crystallization and stone growth. Determining the impact of one's diet on future stone risk begins with a dietary history and subsequent metabolic testing. Metabolic testing usually reveals that an individual's risk is caused by a combination of metabolic and environmental factors, many of which can be improved with dietary modification. In this paper, we will outline how diet impacts urinary stone formation and offer dietary recommendations for individuals with specific types of urinary stone.

Impact of Dietary Counseling on Urinary Stone Risk Parameters in Recurrent Stone Formers

Journal of Endourology, 2011

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the current impact of dietary counseling on the risk for urolithiasis. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of the patients treated in our stone clinics from July 2007 to February 2009 was carried out. Patients' urinary risk factors for stone disease were evaluated with pre-and postintervention 24-hour urine collections. All patients received dietary recommendations from a registered dietician at each visit. Results: One hundred thirty-seven subjects were identified and managed initially with only dietary interventions to address their urinary stone risk parameters. Average follow-up for this group was 15.19 AE 13.7 months. Subjects showed significant changes in urine volume (71.

Dietary and behavioral risk factors for urolithiasis: potential implications for prevention

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 1996

0 Few studies have examined urolithiasis in primary care populations, and limited data are available on non-drug interventions to reduce the risk for urinary calculi. Therefore, we conducted a case control study of patients enrolled in a large prepaid health maintenance organization. The 240 study cases were men experiencing initial episodes of urolithiasis, ascertained by reviewing radiology procedure logs and medical records. The 392 controls were age-matched men with no history of urolithiasis chosen from a list of randomly selected men. Data were collected using standardized telephone interviews. Odds ratios were calculated for potential risk factors. In logistic regression analyses the risk for urinary tract calculi was related to both consumption variables, such as a lowfat or weight reduction diet (adjusted odds ratio, 0.41; P < O.ooo5) and beer drinking (adjusted odds ratio, 0.41; P < O.OOOl), and to demographic variables, such as African-American ethnic&y (adjusted odds ratio, 0.29; P = 0.02) and a positive family history (adjusted odds ratio, 2.22; P < 0.001). These findings suggest the need to evaluate appropriate behavioral interventions to reduce the morbidii associated with uroliihiasis. Prospective studies should evaluate the possibilities that beer drinking, even in modest amounts, and a low-fat or weight reduction diet are associated with substantial reductions in risk. 0 1996 by the National Kidney Foundation, Inc.
