Abstract:BackgroundStudies on the relationships between diseases of the urinary system and human plasma proteomes have identified several potential biomarkers. However, none of these studies have elucidated the causal relationships between plasma proteins and urolithiasis.ObjectiveThe objective of the study was to investigate the potential risks of plasma metabolites in urolithiasis using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study.MethodsA total of 1,400 metabolites were identified in the most comprehensive genome… Show more
