Kidney stones

  1. Urinary calcium-to-citrate ratio may help predict stone risk in very young children
    Urinary calcium-to-citrate ratio demonstrates moderate discriminatory power for kidney stone risk in infants and toddlers, with a threshold of 0.23 mg/mg indicating elevated lithogenic potential.
  2. Swiss cohort links kidney stones to diabetes and family history
    SKIPOGH cohort study reveals kidney stone prevalence of 5.6% in Swiss adults, with diabetes, family history, and smoking as key risk factors. Findings support lifestyle modifications for prevention.
