OBJECTIVE
To establish the safety and efficacy of planned multi-session retrograde endoscopic lithotripsy (REL) for the treatment of large renal calculi in the morbidly obese.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed charts of patients who underwent multi-session REL procedures from 2003 to 2008.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate longitudinal relationships between obesity/inflammation and kidney stone formation in a population where obesity is not prevalent.
METHODS
Using Cox regression models, associations between kidney stone formation and body mass index, waist circumference, high-sensitivity
OBJECTIVE
To give a comprehensive and focused overview on the current knowledge of the causal relations of metabolic syndrome and/or central obesity with kidney stone formation.
METHODS
Previous reports were reviewed using PubMed, with a strict focus on the keywords (single or combinations thereof):
Obesity is a chronic disease that has increased in prevalence in the United States and is a risk factor for the development of nephrolithiasis. As with other medical conditions, obesity should be considered when optimizing surgical management and choosing kidney stone procedures for patients. In
OBJECTIVE
To report preliminary information on urinary stone composition in patients who are either overweight or obese with kidney stone disease.
METHODS
A cohort of patients (n = 138) with nephrolithiasis were prospectively followed from January 2011 for 18 months. Of those, 64 (46%) were found to
OBJECTIVE
There is conflicting evidence about the role of obesity in paediatric nephrolithiasis. This Polish study explored the influence of nutritional status and lipid disturbances on urinary lithogenic factors and the risk of kidney stone formation in children and adolescents from three to 18
OBJECTIVE
To report a matched comparison of morbidly obese (MO) patients and normal weight (NW) patients who underwent ureteroscopic (URS) treatment of renal calculi. Shock wave lithotripsy and percutaneous nephrostolithotomy may be precluded in MO patients, and URS treatment offers a minimally
Obesity is a strong risk factor for nephrolithiasis, but the role of physical activity and caloric intake remains poorly understood. We evaluated this relationship in 84,225 women with no history of stones as part of the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study, a longitudinal, prospective
The prevalence of obesity is rising and places this cohort at risk for developing kidney stones. Some of the pathophysiologic responses that link obesity and kidney stone formation have been identified. Herein, we review the involved mechanisms driving this relationship and the impact of various
BACKGROUND
Larger body size may result in increased urinary excretion of calcium, oxalate, and uric acid, thereby increasing the risk for calcium-containing kidney stones. It is unclear if obesity increases the risk of stone formation, and it is not known if weight gain influences risk.
OBJECTIVE
To
BACKGROUND
Treatment of the morbidly obese patient with symptomatic renal calculi is an interesting urological challenge. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is frequently not possible for several reasons, and many urological centers match these patients as one of the residual indications for open
BACKGROUND
The prevalence and incidence of kidney stone disease have increased markedly during the past several decades, and studies have demonstrated that inappropriate dietary habits are leading to more obesity and overweight (OW) in children and adults, which may be important in stone formation.
OBJECTIVE
The surgical treatment of kidney and proximal ureteral stones in morbidly obese patients (>14 kg/m2) remains difficult because shockwave lithotripsy is precluded by weight limitations and percutaneous nephrolithotomy is associated with difficult access and a high (9%) rate of transfusion.
BACKGROUND
Currently, abdominal obesity has reached an epidemic stage and obesity represents an important challenge for worldwide health authorities. Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that the stone risk incidence increases with Body Mass Index, through multiple pathways. Metabolic syndrome
