The mineral composition of 7819 small animal uroliths in the UK was determined by semi-quantitative X-ray diffraction over a period of 90 months from 2002 to 2010. Canine and feline uroliths constituted 97% of the study population and the mineral phase detected most frequently was struvite (43%), followed by calcium oxalate (41%). Uroliths from crossbreeds, Dalmatians, Yorkshire terriers and Shih Tzus accounted for almost 30% of all canine uroliths, with the highest frequency in Dalmatians, which had a predominance of urate uroliths. The average ages of dogs and cats with uroliths were 7.0 years and 7.4 years, respectively. The ratio of the number of dogs presenting with struvite compared to oxalate phases reached a maximum at 3years of age.

Urologic patients with anatomic abnormalities can be particularly susceptible to urinary tract infections (UTI). UTI with urease-producing bacteria can promote struvite urinary calculi and pose unique treatment problems. There is potential for rapid stone growth and bacterial eradication can be difficult secondary to urothelial or stone colonization.

Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and related indices, including the triglyceride-glucose body mass index (TyG-BMI), triglyceride-glucose waist circumference (TyG-WC), and triglyceride-glucose waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR), are increasingly recognized as valuable markers of insulin resistance (IR). This study aimed to assess the associations between these TyG-related indices and kidney stones.
Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 10,824 participants obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2007 and 2020.

Kidney stones represent a significant global health challenge, with dietary habits playing a crucial role in their formation. This study investigates the association between dietary fatty acid intake-specifically saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)-and the prevalence of kidney stones in a U.S.
