Association between Metabolic Syndrome and UrolithiasisDescriptive Study
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Urology & Nephrology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
The prevalence of kidney stones has been on the rise over the last 2 decades worldwide. Many studies have indicated a possible association between metabolic syndrome and kidney stone disease. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the pathophysiology of urolithiasis resulting from metabolic syndrome, amongst which are the insulin resistance and Randall’s plaque hypothesis. Newer terminologies like Metabesity and Diabesity have been mentioned in recent literature. Many studies have found factors contributing to urolithiasis in patients suffering from metabolic syndrome, out of which obesity, overweight, and sedentary lifestyles have been identified as major etiological factors. This study is done to assess the association of urolithiasis and metabolic syndrome.
