Seasonal Variations in Urinary Calculi Attacks and Their Association With Climate: a Population Based Study

Abstract: We conclude that seasonal variations do exist in the monthly urinary calculi attack rates for all age and gender populations, and that following time series statistical adjustment, only ambient temperature had any consistent association with monthly attack rates.

“…An alternative linear model describing the temperature dependence of stone prevalence is supported by evidence that even in high-MAT locales increases in temperature continue to raise stone risk, i.e., there is still a ''stone season'' [e.g., Saudi Arabia (10), Taiwan (14), with monthly temperatures ranging from 24 to 34°C]. Indeed, a study of spinal cord injury patients in the U.S. revealed a linear 10% increase in stone risk per 1°C increase in MAT (4).…”

“…Transient variations in stone prevalence, such as seen with desert military deployments (7-9) and seasonal cyclicity (10)(11)(12)(13)(14), can also be accounted for by temperature changes. The physiologic response time to these climate changes is generally rapid; in one study, the peak time for stone development occurred 90 days after military deployment into a hot, arid climate (15).…”

“…30,31 One possible reason for such a low figure might be the fact that only newly diagnosed cases of nephrolithiasis from 2000 to 2011 were included in our research. Also, since only data of actual visits to medical institutions were evaluated in our research, the prevalence of nephrolithiasis in our study may have been underestimated.…”

Interesująca jest również obserwacja Chen i wsp., którzy wykazali sezonowość rozpoznań kolki nerkowej, ze wzrostem ujawnienia choroby w miesiącach letnich, co również dowodzi dodatniej korelacji między wysoką temperaturą otoczenia a wzrostem przypadków objawowej kamicy układu moczowego [9].…”
