Abstract
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.

Abstract
Purpose Dietary factors are one of the main causes of urolithiasis. However, little research has evaluated dietary factors related to urolithiasis in Korea. We investigated the various dietary risk factors for urinary stone formation in Korean people. Materials and Methods We conducted a prospective case-control pilot study. A total of 27 patients newly diagnosed with urolithiasis and 20 applicants without urolithiasis were designated as the patients and the control group, respectively. A face-to-face survey was carried out using a food-frequency questionnaire. After adjustment for physical activity level and total energy intake, multivariate logistic regression models were applied to search for risk factors for urolithiasis. Results There were no significant differences between the two groups in gender, age, body mass index, family history, or total energy intake. The physical activity level of the control group was significantly higher than that of the patients (p=0.012). The results of the multivariate logistic regression model demonstrated that intake of carbohydrate (odds ratio [OR], 1.055; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.012–1.099), protein (OR, 1.101; 95% CI, 1.001–1.211), and cereals (OR, 1.012; 95% CI, 1.002–1.023) could increase the risk for urolithiasis. Conclusions A higher intake of carbohydrate, protein, and cereal may increase the risk of urinary stone formation among Korean people.

Abstract
Recurrent nephrolithiasis is a common chronic condition that is often preventable with dietary modification and pharmacologic therapy. Patients with recurrent kidney stones should have a metabolic evaluation, consisting of radiologic studies to assess stone burden, crystallographic stone analysis, and laboratory studies including standard serum chemistries and 24 h urine collection(s). This article focuses on the interpretation of urine chemistries to identify lithogenic risk factors and assess the contribution of diet to the formation of kidney stones.

Abstract
Background. While high-protein consumption-above the current recommended dietary allowance for adults (RDA: 0.8 g protein/kg body weight/day)-is increasing in popularity, there is a lack of data on its potential adverse effects. Objective. To determine the potential disease risks due to high protein/high meat intake obtained from diet and/or nutritional supplements in humans. Design. Review. Subjects. Healthy adult male and female subjects. Method. In order to identify relevant studies, the electronic databases, Medline and Google Scholar, were searched using the terms:"high protein diet," "protein overconsumption," "protein overuse," and "high meat diet." Papers not in English were excluded. Further studies were identified by citations in retrieved papers. Results. 32 studies (21 experimental human studies and 11 reviews) were identified. The adverse effects associated with long-term high protein/high meat intake in humans were (a) disorders of bone and calcium homeostasis, (b) disorders of renal function, (c) increased cancer risk, (d) disorders of liver function, and (e) precipitated progression of coronary artery disease. Conclusions. The findings of the present study suggest that there is currently no reasonable scientific basis in the literature to recommend protein consumption above the current RDA (high protein diet) for healthy adults due to its potential disease risks. Further research needs to be carried out in this area, including large randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
Calcium nephrolithiasis in children is increasing in prevalence and tends to be recurrent. Although children have a lower incidence of nephrolithiasis than adults, its etiology in children is less well understood; hence, treatments targeted for adults may not be optimal in children. To better understand metabolic abnormalities in stone-forming children, we compared chemical measurements and the crystallization properties of 24-h urine collections from 129 stone formers matched to 105 non-stone-forming siblings and 183 normal, healthy children with no family history of stones, all aged 6 to 17 years. The principal risk factor for calcium stone formation was hypercalciuria. Stone formers have strikingly higher calcium excretion along with high supersaturation for calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate, and a reduced distance between the upper limit of metastability and supersaturation for calcium phosphate, indicating increased risk of calcium phosphate crystallization. Other differences in urine chemistry that exist between adult stone formers and normal individuals such as hyperoxaluria, hypocitraturia, abnormal urine pH, and low urine volume were not found in these children. Hence, hypercalciuria and a reduction in the gap between calcium phosphate upper limit of metastability and supersaturation are crucial determinants of stone risk. This highlights the importance of managing hypercalciuria in children with calcium stones.

Abstract
Archeological findings give profound evidence that humans have suffered from kidney and bladder stones for centuries. Bladder stones were more prevalent during older ages, but kidney stones became more prevalent during the past 100 years, at least in the more developed countries. Also, treatment options and conservative measures, as well as 'surgical' interventions have also been known for a long time. Our current preventive measures are definitively comparable to those of our predecessors. Stone removal, first lithotomy for bladder stones, followed by transurethral methods, was definitively painful and had severe side effects. Then, as now, the incidence of urolithiasis in a given population was dependent on the geographic area, racial distribution, socio-economic status and dietary habits. Changes in the latter factors during the past decades have affected the incidence and also the site and chemical composition of calculi, with calcium oxalate stones being now the most prevalent. Major differences in frequency of other constituents, particularly uric acid and struvite, reflect eating habits and infection risk factors specific to certain populations. Extensive epidemiological observations have emphasized the importance of nutritional factors in the pathogenesis of urolithiasis, and specific dietary advice is, nowadays, often the most appropriate for prevention and treatment of urolithiasis.

Abstract
The current obesity epidemic in the United States has deleterious effects on the health of the population. Temporally related to the increase in obesity is an increase in the prevalence of urolithiasis. Epidemiologic studies have shown that the incident stone risk increases with body mass index. Obesity can increase stone risk in multiple ways. Excess nutritional intake increases traffic of lithogenic substances such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid. Metabolic syndrome, commonly associated with obesity, alters renal acid-base metabolism, resulting in a lower urine pH and increased risk of uric acid stone disease. The low urine pH is caused by deficient ammonia production, which appears to be related to insulin resistance. Even weight-loss programs to combat obesity can influence stone risk. Contemporary bariatric surgery has been shown to frequently cause hyperoxaluria with associated stone formation and even oxalate nephropathy. Commonly used low-carbohydrate diets increase the risk of both calcium and uric acid stones. Certainly, the many health risks of obesity, including urolithiasis, necessitate weight loss, but recognition of the potential complications of such therapies is required to prevent induction of new and equally severe medical problems. The optimal approach to weight control that minimizes stone risk needs to be determined.

Abstract
Kidney stones are one of the most common chronic disorders in industrialized countries. In patients with kidney stones, the goal of medical therapy is to prevent the formation of new kidney stones and to reduce growth of existing stones. The evaluation of the patient with kidney stones should identify dietary, environmental, and genetic factors that contribute to stone risk. Radiologic studies are required to identify the stone burden at the time of the initial evaluation and to follow up the patient over time to monitor success of the treatment program. For patients with a single stone an abbreviated laboratory evaluation to identify systemic disorders usually is sufficient. For patients with multiple kidney stones 24-hour urine chemistries need to be measured to identify abnormalities that predispose to kidney stones, which guides dietary and pharmacologic therapy to prevent future stone events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In adults, it is well known that high protein intake may increase the risk of nephrolithiasis through increased urinary calcium excretion and other mechanisms. We aimed to assess the role of protein intake on urinary calcium excretion in children with idiopathic hypercalciuria (HC). PATIENTS AND METHODS The 24-h urinary urea excretion as a reflection of protein intake was evaluated in 65 children with HC and in 76 normocalciuric control children. All of them were on a free diet and did not receive any specific drug. RESULTS Urinary urea excretion was 18.9+/-6.6 (SD) mmol/kg/day in the HC group and 14.2+/-4.9 in controls (P<0.0001). Urinary urea excretion significantly decreased with age, as well as with body weight and height gain in both groups. Calcium excretion significantly increased with increasing sodium and urea excretion in the HC but not the control group. There was a significant (P=0.005) interaction between urinary sodium and urea excretion in the rising calciuria of the HC group. Multiple regression analysis showed that, in the HC group, variations in urinary urea explained 11.4% of the entire variability of urinary calcium excretion, whereas adding the urinary sodium effect increased this relation only to 16%. CONCLUSION Children with HC have a higher dietary protein intake than normocalciuric children. The decrease in urea excretion with increasing age and body mass may reflect the relatively higher protein intake of young growing individuals. Salt and protein have a cumulative effect on rising calcium excretion in HC children, but the role of protein intake is outstanding.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the potential renal acid load (PRAL) of the diet on the urinary risk factors for renal stone formation. The present series comprises 187 consecutive renal calcium stone patients (114 males, 73 females) who were studied in our stone clinic. Each patient was subjected to an investigation including a 24-h dietary record and 24-h urine sample taken over the same period. Nutrients and calories were calculated by means of food composition tables using a computerized procedure. Daily PRAL was calculated considering the mineral and protein composition of foods, the mean intestinal absorption rate for each nutrient and the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphate, oxalate, urate, citrate, and creatinine levels were measured in the urine. The mean daily PRAL was higher in male than in female patients (24.1+/-24.0 vs 16.1+/-20.1 mEq/day, P=0.000). A significantly (P=0.01) negative correlation (R=-0.18) was found between daily PRAL and daily urinary citrate, but no correlation between PRAL and urinary calcium, oxalate, and urate was shown. Daily urinary calcium (R=0.186, P=0.011) and uric acid (R=0.157, P=0.033) were significantly related to the dietary intake of protein. Daily urinary citrate was significantly related to the intakes of copper (R=0.178, P=0.015), riboflavin (R=0.20, P=0.006), piridoxine (R=0.169, P=0.021) and biotin (R=0.196, P=0.007). The regression analysis by stepwise selection confirmed the significant negative correlation between PRAL and urinary citrate (P=0.002) and the significant positive correlation between riboflavin and urinary citrate (P=0.000). Urinary citrate excretion of renal stone formers (RSFs) is highly dependent from dietary acid load. The computation of the renal acid load is advisable to investigate the role of diet in the pathogenesis of calcium stone disease and it is also a useful tool to evaluate the lithogenic potential of the diet of the individual patient.

Abstract
The data reviewed in this paper indicate that there is compelling direct and indirect evidence that certain dietary modifications can limit the risk for stone formation. Fluid therapy should be a front-line approach for all stone formers, because it is safe, cheap, and effective. Restricting sodium and animal-protein consumption produces changes in the urinary environment that should benefit the majority of stone formers, including a decrease in calcium and increase in citrate excretion. Minimizing the intake of processed goods limits sodium gluttony. These dietary modifications also reduce cardiovascular risks. Indiscriminant calcium restriction should be avoided, because it could accelerate stone formation and violate skeletal integrity. Oxalate restriction should be considered for calcium oxalate stone formers, especially those with hyperoxaluria. Specific recommendations for modifying the consumption of other nutrients cannot be made at this time because of the limited available information about the resultant effects. The aforementioned goals can be achieved within the context of a nutritionally balanced diet providing adequate sources of fruits and vegetables. There is a definite need for better designed studies of the nutritional effects on stone disease. This would promote a better understanding of the interplay between the genetic and environmental components of this disorder.

Abstract
Renal stone disease is a painful condition that affects 1-20% of the general population. Therapy aimed at decreasing the incidence of recurrent stones includes dietary advice. Dietary considerations include intake of both calcium and protein. Calcium restriction in stone formers is not recommended because it can have adverse effects on bone and the incidence of stones. Although a high-protein diet can elevate urinary calcium, uric acid, and sulfate and decrease urinary citrate, which may alter the propensity to form stones, restriction of protein to less than the current RDA for the management of stone disease can not be recommended at this time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High dietary protein intake is a potential risk factor for nephrolithiasis because of its capacity to increase urinary calcium and to facilitate lithogenesis through many other mechanisms. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to verify the effects of moderate protein restriction in hypercalciuric patients. DESIGN We studied 18 patients (10 men and 8 women aged 45.6+/-12.3 y) with idiopathic hypercalciuria and renal calculi. Before and after 15 d of a diet with 0.8 g protein x kg(-1) x d(-1) and 955 mg Ca, all patients were evaluated for the main serum and urinary measures of calcium metabolism as well as for urinary uric acid, oxalate, citrate, and prostaglandin E2. RESULTS Urinary excretion of urea fell after the diet (P < 0.001). Urinary calcium (P < 0.001), uric acid (P < 0.005), oxalate (P < 0.01), and hydroxyproline (P < 0.01) decreased after protein restriction, whereas urinary citrate increased (P < 0.025). Blood pH increased after the hypoproteic diet (P < 0.05). 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol (calcitriol) concentration fell significantly (P < 0.025) and parathyroid hormone increased (P < 0.001). Creatinine clearance tended to decrease (106.4+/-4.8 compared with 97.5+/-5.7 mL/min) after the diet. The decrease in urinary uric acid after the diet correlated with calcitriol concentration (r = 0.57, P < 0.05) and the decrease in urinary urea correlated positively with that in hydroxyproline excretion (r = 0.58, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In hypercalciuric patients, moderate protein restriction decreases calcium excretion, mainly through a reduction in bone resorption and renal calcium loss; both are likely due to a decreased exogenous acid load. Moreover, dietary protein restriction ameliorates the entire lithogenic profile in these patients.

Abstract
The relationship of protein intake to urinary oxalate and glycolate excretion was examined in a large cohort (N = 101) of normal individuals on self-selected diets and in 11 individuals on controlled protein diets. On self-selected diets no correlation was detected between protein intake and urinary oxalate or glycolate excretion. A moderate but significant correlation (r = 0.45; P < 0.001) of oxalate with urea excretion was observed in males but not females, suggesting that there may be a link between urea and oxalate synthesis in males. On controlled protein diets mean oxalate excretion in females on days 7 to 10 of a high protein diet (1.8 g/kg body wt) was 20% higher than on a low protein diet (0.6 g/kg body wt; P = 0.02), but there was no difference in males. Glycolate excretion was significantly higher (P < 0.001) on the high protein diet than on the low protein diet in both sexes. Only a weak precursor-product relationship was observed between glycolate and oxalate. A gender effect was apparent on both self-selected and control diets with females excreting more oxalate and glycolate relative to creatinine than males. A pronounced inter- and intra-individual variability in the excretion of oxalate was observed, even on controlled diets. This suggests that genetic factors and physiological changes such as hormonal fluctuations may contribute more to the variability in oxalate excretion than the dietary intake of protein.

Abstract
To elucidate the pathophysiology of dietary calcium independent hypercalciuria, 42 calcium stone formers (Ca SF) were selected because they had on free diet a calciuria greater than 0.1 mmol/kg/day. For four days they were put on a diet restricted in calcium (Ca RD) by exclusion of the dairy products. They collected 24 hour urines on free diet and on day 4 of Ca RD as well as the two-hour fasting urines on the morning of the day 5 and the four-hour urines passed after an oral calcium load of 1 g, for measurement of creatinine, Ca, PO4, urea and total hydroxyprolinuria (THP). On day 5 fasting plasma concentrations of Ca, PO4, intact PTH, Gla protein, calcidiol and calcitriol were measured. The patients were firstly classified into dietary hypercalciuria (DH, 18 patients) and dietary calcium-independent hypercalciuria (IH, 24 patients) on the basis of the disappearance or not of hypercalciuria on Ca RD. Then the patients with IH were subclassified into absorptive hypercalciuria (AH) because of normal fasting calciuria (8 patients) and into fasting hypercalciuria (16 patients). Fasting hypercalciuric patients were subsequently divided according to the PTH levels into renal hypercalciuria (RH, 1 patient) with elevated fasting PTH becoming normal after the Ca load and undetermined hypercalciuria (UH, 15 patients) with normal PTH levels. Furthermore, their vertebral mineral density (VMD) was measured by quantitative computerized tomography which was normal in DH (91 +/- 6% of the normal mean for age and sex) but was decreased in IH to 69 +/- 4%. No difference in VMD was observed between AH and UH. Urinary excretions of urea, phosphate and THP was higher in IH than in DH and comparable in AH and UH. Sodium excretion Ca RD was the same in all groups and subgroups as well as the plasma parameters. Plasma calcitriol was increased in IH and DH comparatively to normal in spite of normal plasma calcidiol. Calciuria increase after oral calcium load, an index of Ca absorption, was higher in IH than in controls and comparable in IH and DH as well as in the three subgroups of IH. From these data and correlation studies in IH it is concluded: (1.) VMD is decreased in Ca stone formers with IH but not in those with DH, making the distinction of these two groups of hypercalciuria patients clinically relevant.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The average daily dietary intake of 88 idiopathic renal stone cases and 88 age and sex matched controls was assessed by history using a standardised questionnaire. Statistical analysis was undertaken on the whole group and on male and female subgroups, to establish if there were any significant differences between cases and controls. There were statistically significant differences in dietary intake between the whole group, the female cases and the control group. Male cases showed only a significantly lower intake of thiamine compared to controls. There was little difference between cases and controls intake of iron or multivitamin supplements but vitamin C supplements (greater than 1 g/day) were taken more than twice as frequently by cases than controls. These results suggest that control dietary studies of renal stone patients without regard to their sex may conceal many differences in dietary intake between cases and controls.

Abstract
The dietary intakes of 88 renal stone cases and 88 age and sex matched controls were assessed by dietary history using a standardised questionnaire. The stone cases were divided into six subgroups established on the basis of urine biochemistry (calcium, oxalate and uric acid) and stone composition. The average intake of each group was then compared with that of their controls using standard statistical procedures. Cases with idiopathic calcium oxalate stones had significantly lower intakes of dietary fibre, non-cellulose polysaccharide, phytate, magnesium, phosphate and thiamine than controls. No significant difference in dietary intake was found between cases with high urinary calcium and uric acid and their respective controls. All cases with a high urinary oxalate had a significantly higher intake of vitamin C than controls. Our results support the belief that dietary intake is an important pre-urinary risk factor of idiopathic renal stone disease.

Abstract
Hypercalciuria is of continuing interest as one of the risk factors for stone disease in children, but the definition, incidence and pathogenesis are controversial. Therefore reference values for the urinary calcium/creatinine (Ca/Cr) ratios were established in 564 healthy children aged 6-17.9 years during the fasting state (09.00 h) and in 236 of them also in the post-absorptive state about 2 h after lunch (14.00-16.00 h). The Ca/Cr ratios in both urine specimens were independent of age and sex, rendering it possible to determine a common normal range and to calculate centiles for Ca excretion in a large sample of healthy children and adolescents. To provide information about the incidence of hypercalciuria the Ca/Cr ratios of 1013 other apparently healthy children aged 6-17.9 years were measured during the post-absorptive state on two consecutive days. In 39 (3.8%) of them, 21 girls, and 18 boys, the Ca excretion was elevated in both urine specimens. Thirty-six of these children, all presenting without renal complaints, underwent further investigations to elucidate the possible mechanisms of the hypercalciuria. On the basis of the Ca/Cr concentration during the fasting state and the calciuric response to a standardised oral Ca tolerance test the children were subclassified into three groups: (1) Absorptive hypercalciuria (AH, n = 12): Increased calciuric response to the Ca load, but normal fasting Ca/Cr; (2) Renal hypercalciuria (RH, n = 8): Increased Ca/Cr after Ca load and during the fasting state; (3) Normal Ca excretion during the fasting state and after the Ca tolerance test, but increased sodium excretion (dietary hypercalciuria, DH, n = 16).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The metabolic effects of a high protein diet (HPD) were studied in eight patients with idiopathic recurrent calcium oxalate stones. On the HPD there was a 35% increase in urinary calcium concomitant with increased excretion of cyclic AMP and hydroxyproline. These findings point to an enhanced resorption of bone, possibly secondary to increased renal loss of calcium. The urinary citrate decreased by 25% along with reduced serum standard bicarbonate and urinary pH. The high formation of acid metabolites might also have adverse effects on calcium balance and bone. Urinary oxalate excretion was not affected nor were there any significant changes in the calculated urinary supersaturation of calcium oxalate, if changes in urinary citrate, pH, sulphate, sodium, phosphate and volume were also considered. This study suggests that the possible negative influence on the propensity to form renal stones of a diet rich in animal protein is probably due to reduced urinary inhibitory activity.

Abstract
A group of 30 meat eating normal subjects were compared with a second group of vegetarians matched for age and sex. Their diets and urinary excretion patterns were compared by statistical analysis. A link between protein intake, particularly animal protein, and urinary calcium excretion was demonstrated and also that dietary calcium was inversely related to urinary oxalate excretion. Urinary oxalate increases with the vegetable protein content of the diet, but within the limits of these diets, animal protein does not affect oxalate excretion though it does affect excretion of urinary urate.

Abstract
We have studied the effect of a vitamin- and potassium-supplemented liquid protein fast on mineral metabolism of six obese subjects (five women, 1 man) for 40 days. Each patient was admitted to a metabolic ward and was given daily 300 Kcal, 75 mg of calcium, 406 mg of phosphorus, 7 mg of magnesium, 33 meq of potassium, and 11.5 g of nitrogen. Urinary calcium, phosphorus and magnesium levels were greatest during the first week, but decreased as the fast continued to 21, 31 and 300 percent, respectively, above intake. Cumulative urinary losses of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium were 58, 75 and 500 percent greater, respectively, than the cumulative intake. Fecal losses for calcium, phosphorus and magnesium were less than urinary losses throughout the study. Cumulative fecal losses of magnesium were more than 30 percent greater than dietary intake. Mean daily balances were -104 mg (calcium), -48 mg (magnesium) and -363 mg (phosphorus). Serum phosphorus and magnesium levels did not change. However, serum calcium levels decreased (-0.5 mg/dl, p less than 0.05). Serum bicarbonate levels decreased 20 percent during the first 8 days of the fast, at which time urinary ammonium was maximal, but later returned to control values despite sustained increases in serum and urinary acids throughout the fast. Ammonium excretion was 260 to 300 percent above control values. Urinary titratable acid excretion was greatest early in the fast but subsequently decreased as the excretion of phosphorus declined. Titratable acid accounted for less of the excreted acid (7 to 21 percent) than did ammonia (70 to 90 percent). It is concluded that a liquid protein fast results in negative mineral balance that is not reflected by serum values and is due primarily to renal losses. The losses of magnesium were proportionally greater than those of calcium and phosphorus. These studies indicate that a liquid protein fast results in depletion of the intracellular and/or skeletal stores of these minerals.
