“…Fellström et al [23] found higher alcohol consumption in 20 stone patients compared to controls, but this observation was not confirmed by others [24]. Parivar et al [25] suggested that alcohol consumption in moderation is not a significant risk factor for urolithiasis. Nevertheless, based on our results, we suggest that restriction of alcohol drinking may be beneficial for the prevention of upper urinary calculi; this is especially important for those who had a positive family history of stone.…”

Introduction: A nationwide survey was conducted to investigate the prevalence of upper urinary calculi in Taiwan. Materials and Methods: A postal questionnaire was mailed to 27,758 people, 0.2% of the adults in Taiwan. Results: Of the 4,588 valid respondents, 440 had at least one episode of upper urinary calculus disease. The overall prevalence was 9.6% (14.5% in males and 4.3% in females). Men were more prone to nephrolithiasis than women (age-adjusted prevalence of 12.2% in men and 3.1% in women, p = 0). The ‘stone belt’ was localized in the Midwest region of Taiwan. A gender- and age-adjusted multivariate analysis revealed that alcohol consumption and family history of kidney stone were significant risk factors for stone occurrence. Compared with general population, the odds ratios for stone disease in inhabitants whose father, mother and both parents with stone history were 3.44 [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.33–5.07], 4.79 (95% CI, 2.85–8.07) and 10.40 (95% CI, 3.75–28.84), respectively. The subtropical temperature and gradually higher socioeconomic standards of living may contribute to the high prevalence. Inhabitants in the Midwest region have higher risk to develop stones. Conclusions: Further studies are needed to investigate the exact cause of these regional variations of stone prevalence. Nevertheless, the present study provides an additional piece of information on worldwide epidemiology of urolithiasis.

“…A lower daily water intake would decrease the urine output, resulting in increased urine saturation and promoting crystalline precipitation and UC development. In contrast, a large intake of water could increase the urine output and reduce the concentrations of calcium, oxalate, and urate (Parivar et al, 1996). Meanwhile, a higher amount of water could also prevent the polymerization of urinary mucin, thereby reducing the likelihood of kidney stone formation (Borghi et al, 1999).…”

ABSTRACT. The incidence of urinary calculus (UC) is very high in Uyghur children in the Kashi region of Xinjiang, China, which seriously affects the growth and life quality of these children. This study was aimed at investigating the risk factors of UC in Uyghur children in Kashi region. One hundred fifteen Uyghur children (age <7 years) with UC who were treated in First People's Hospital in Kashi were enrolled in the case group. A 1:1 case-control study with a questionnaire was performed. The results showed that, among the 115 UC patients, there were more boys (71.3%) than girls (28.7%), and most cases had an onset age of 1-3 years (75.7%). A lower than primary school education in the mother, drinking unboiled water, water intake <500 mL/day, and eating too much sweets were risk factors [odds ratio (OR) = 2.385, 9.160, 3.263, and 8.945, respectively], whereas vegetable intake and exposure to summer sunshine of <2 h/day were protective factors against UC onset (OR = 0.154 and 0.344, respectively). Analysis of UC-related factors in 99 cases of <3-year-old children revealed that breastfeeding was also a protective factor (OR = 0.007), whereas frequent cow's milk intake within 5 months (OR = 2.414) and frequent "panada" intake (OR = 2.529) were risk factors. The occurrence of UC in Uyghur children in the Kashi region is mainly affected by maternal educational background, quality of drinking water, water intake volume, and dietary pattern. Furthermore, geography may also have a role.

“…Increased dietary sodium intake, and hence urinary sodium excretion, promotes calciuria both via renal mechanisms and increased calcium mobilization from bone [ 66 ] . Higher urinary sodium excretion also correlates with increased uric acid excretion and decreased citrate excretion, both of which promote crystallization.…”
