The Impact of Radiographic, Metabolic and Demographic Characteristics on Kidney Stone Recurrence. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12101632. [PMID: 36294771 PMCID: PMC9604730 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12101632] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Revised: 09/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Urolithiasis is a frequent disease with cited rates of recurrence after initial diagnosis that vary widely and range between 35% and 50%. We assessed the radiographic recurrence rate in patients with urinary stones and its risk factors. We retrospectively identified patients who were diagnosed with urinary stones on non-contrast computed tomography from 2010 to 2011, and underwent another imaging examination at least six months afterwards. We collected patient demographic, clinical, laboratory and radiologic data and compared patients with and without urinary stone recurrence. Ultimately, 237 patients were included in the study; the mean follow-up was 6.7 years; 88 patients (37.1%) had recurrence based on our recurrence criteria. On univariate analysis, the significant parameters for recurrence were baseline serum calcium and uric acid, stone location in the kidney, surgical intervention and stone burden volume. On multivariate analysis, surgical intervention (OR 3.07, p = 0.001), baseline calcium (OR 2.56, p = 0.011), baseline uric acid (OR 1.30, p = 0.021) and stone location in the kidney (OR 2.16, p = 0.012) were associated with higher risk of recurrence. These findings may guide personalized follow-up protocols for patients with urolithiasis based on their risk factors.

[PMID: 35439979 PMCID: PMC9017041 DOI: 10.1186/s12894-022-01017-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Kidney stone disease (KSD) is a common illness that causes an economic burden globally. It is easy for patients to relapse once they have suffered from this disease. The reported recurrence rate of KSD ranged from 6.1% to 66.9%. We performed this meta-analysis to identify various potential risk factors for the recurrence of KSD. Methods The PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases were searched using suitable keywords from inception to Mar 2022. A total of 2,663 records were collected initially. After screening the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 53 articles (40 retrospective studies; 13 prospective studies) including 488,130 patients were enrolled. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO (No. CRD42020171771). Results The pooled results indicated that 12 risk factors including younger age (n = 18), higher BMI (n = 16), family history of kidney stones (n = 12), personal history of kidney stones (n = 11), hypertension (n = 5), uric acid stone (n = 4), race of Caucasian (n = 3), suspected kidney stone episode before the first confirmed stone episode (n = 3), surgery (n = 3), any concurrent asymptomatic (nonobstructing) stone (n = 2), pelvic or lower pole kidney stone (n = 2), and 24 h urine test completion (n = 2) were identified to be associated with KSD recurrence. In the subgroup analysis, patients with higher BMI (OR = 1.062), personal history of nephrolithiasis (OR = 1.402), or surgery (OR = 3.178) had a higher risk of radiographic KSD recurrence. Conclusions We identified 12 risk factors related to the recurrence of KSD. The results of this analysis could serve to construct recurrence prediction models. It could also supply a basis for preventing the recurrence of KSD. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12894-022-01017-4.

Abstract
Chronic renal disease or acute renal injury could result in end-stage renal disease or renal failure. Sonoporation, induced by ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD), has evolved as a new technology for gene delivery. It increases the transfection efficiency of the genes into target kidney tissues. Moreover, UTMD-mediated gene delivery can directly repair the damaged tissues or improve the recruitment and homing of stem cells in the recovery of injured tissues, which has the potential to act as a non-viral and effective method to current gene therapy. This article reviews the mechanisms and applications of UTMD in terms of renal disease, including diabetic nephropathy, renal carcinoma, acute kidney injury, renal interstitial fibrosis, nephrotoxic nephritis, urinary stones, and acute rejection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To perform a multivariate statistical analysis of epidemiological, clinical and biochemical factors that make it possible to identify the variables that can independently predict the course of renal lithiasis, thus defining a group at risk of worse evolution. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective, descriptive and analytic study was in a cohort of 248 patients with kidney stones treated in our center from 2003 to 2007. A univariate (chi-square) and multivariate analysis (regression model) of possible epidemiological predictive factors (age, gender), clinical data of stones (number, localization, size and bilaterality) and biochemical factors (urinary composition, stone composition) were analyzed. RESULTS Based on a mean follow-up of 60 months (95% CI: 52.5-67.4) we observed a global persistence of kidney stones in 121 patients (48.8%), 127 patients being stone-free (51.2%). The univariate analysis describes the following variables as being associated to greater persistence of lithiasis: age, number of stones, calyceal localization and bilaterality, urinary biochemical composition, and stone biochemical composition. In regards to all of the above variables, only age less than 47 years, bilaterality, stone localization and chemical composition of the lithiasis (oxalate calcium dehydrated) were significantly associated to a major risk of persistence of kidney stones. CONCLUSION There is a high persistence rate of kidney stones. Patient age inferior to 47 year, calyceal localization, bilaterality, and biochemical composition of stones (oxalate calcium dihydrate) are independent factors associated to higher persistence rate of kidney stones. These factors indicate a risk group with a worse clinical prognosis in which we should reconsider more individualized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Family history in stone disease: how important is it for the onset of the disease and the incidence of recurrence? ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2010; 38:105-9. [PMID: 20077110 PMCID: PMC2847691 DOI: 10.1007/s00240-009-0249-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2009] [Accepted: 12/10/2009] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible effect of a positive family history on the age at the onset of urinary stone disease and the frequency of subsequent symptomatic episodes relating to the disease. Between March 2006 and April 2009, patients with either a newly diagnosed or a previously documented stone disease were included in the study program. They were required to fill in a questionnaire and divided into two groups according to the positive family history of stone disease; group I comprised patients with a family history for urinary calculi and group II those without. Depending on the data obtained from questionnaires, all patients were evaluated in detail with respect to the age at the onset of the stone disease, stone passage and interventions over time, time to first recurrence (time interval between the onset of the disease and the first recurrence), number of total stone episodes and recurrence intervals. 1,595 patients suffering from urolithiasis with the mean age of 41.7 (14–69 years) were evaluated with respect to their past history of the disease. There were 437 patients in group I and 1,158 in group II. There was no statistically significant difference between the mean age value of two groups (P = 0.09). When both genders in group I were analyzed separately, female patients tended to have higher rate of family history positivity than males. Comparative evaluation of the age at the onset of the disease between the two groups did reveal that stone formation occured at younger ages in patients with positive family history [P = 0.01 (males), P = 0.01 (females)] and the mean age of onset of the disease was lower in males than females in group I (P = 0.01). Patients in group I had relatively more stone episodes from the onset of the disease [P < 0.01 (2–4 episodes), P < 0.01 (≥5 episodes)]. Male patients were associated with higher number of stone episodes (P = 0.01). Mean time interval between recurrences was noted to be significantly shorter in group I patients when compared with patients in group II [P < 0.01 (males), P = 0.02 (females)]. In conclusion, our results showed that urinary stone formation may occur at younger ages and that the frequency of symptom episodes may be higher in patients with a positive family history. We believe that the positive family history for urinary stone disease could give us valuable information concerning the onset as well as the severity of the disease.
