Cadmium exposure is associated with increased urinary calcium excretion. Hypercalciuria is recognised as a major risk factor for kidney stone formation. Increased prevalence of kidney stones among those occupationally exposed to cadmium has previously been suggested. Food is the main source of
Glycolate oxidase (GOX), a flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-dependent enzyme, modulates reactive oxygen species-mediated signal transduction in green plants. It has been a target protein for crop improvement because of performing a key step in photorespiration that causes the energy losses. In human, GOX
Kidney stones are a risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD), which, in turn, is a risk factor for myocardial infarction (MI). The objective of this study was to determine whether kidney stones associate with an increased risk for MI. We matched 4564 stone formers (1984 through 2003) on age and
The aim of this study was to assess the inhibitory action of phytate in formation of renal calculi. Hypertension (induced by nicotine) combined with hypercalcemia (induced by D vitamin) was used to induce calcification in renal tissue in male Wistar rats that were fed a purified phytate free diet.
OBJECTIVE
Prior work has suggested a higher risk of hypertension in kidney stone formers but lacked disease validation and adjustment for potential confounders. Certain types of stone formers may also be at higher risk of hypertension.
METHODS
In our study, incident symptomatic stone formers in
OBJECTIVE
The main objective of the study was to determine the urinary risk factors involved in kidney stone formation.
METHODS
In this study a total number of 101 patients (64 males and 37 females) between the age group 2 and 70 years were selected. Personal characteristics like age, family
BACKGROUND
Kidney stones are associated with increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, risk factors in the general community are poorly defined.
METHODS
A nested case-control study was performed in residents of Olmsted County, MN, who presented with a kidney stone at the Mayo Clinic
OBJECTIVE
Kidney stones lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD) in people with rare hereditary disorders (e.g., primary hyperoxaluria, cystinuria), but it is unknown whether kidney stones are an important risk factor for CKD in the general population.
METHODS
Among Olmsted County, MN, residents, all
A number of medical conditions have been linked with renal-cell cancer, although the evidence is not consistent in every case. In a large international case-control study of renal-cell cancer, we examined, among other hypotheses, associations with a personal history of certain medical conditions and
OBJECTIVE
To identify potential medical and behavioral risk factors associated with infectious disease seropositivity in potential corneal donors using an extensive questionnaire completed by the next of kin.
METHODS
Retrospective review of medical history and behavioral risk assessment
BACKGROUND
Whether phenacetin-containing analgesics cause renal pelvic tumors by virtue of the weak mutagenicity of phenacetin, or indirectly through local effects of analgesic-induced renal papillary scarring, is debated. Because phenacetin consumption ceased in New South Wales, Australia in 1975,
We used data from the 1993 Italian Household Multipurpose Survey, based on a sample of 46,693 subjects ages 15 years or over, to analyze the relation between frequency of vegetable consumption and prevalence of 12 chronic diseases. We observed little association with diabetes mellitus, hypertension,
