  • Central Adiposity Increases Risk of Kidney Stone Disease through Effects on Serum Calcium Concentrations - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37787550

    ABSTRACT: Visual Abstract Significance Statement Kidney stone disease is a common disorder with poorly understood pathophysiology. Observational and genetic studies indicate that adiposity is associated with an increased risk of kidney stone disease. However, the relative contribution of general and central adipose depots and the mechanisms by which effects of adiposity on kidney stone disease are mediated have not been defined. Using conventional and genetic epidemiological techniques, we demonstrate that general and central adiposity are independently associated with kidney stone disease. In addition, one mechanism by which central adiposity increases risk of kidney stone disease is by increasing serum calcium concentration. Therapies targeting adipose depots may affect calcium homeostas

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Bloodwork

  • serum and urinary calcium concentrations Moderate

    serum calcium mediates the effect of central adiposity on kidney stone risk; hypercalciuria is a major stone formation risk factor

    annual serum calcium; consider 24-hour urinary calcium testing if elevated

Diet

  • adequate daily hydration Moderate

    increased urine dilution reduces urinary crystal saturation and kidney stone formation risk

    aim for urine output of 2-3 liters daily

Lifestyle

  • reduce central adiposity Moderate

    central adiposity causally increases serum calcium concentration and kidney stone formation risk independent of general adiposity

    target waist circumference reduction through combined diet and aerobic exercise

Screening

  • kidney stone disease screening High

    rs11077601 T allele associates with 9% increased kidney stone disease risk; early detection enables preventive treatment

    discuss kidney stone screening protocol with primary care doctor
