Nephrolithiasis is a prevalent condition with high morbidity, and the incidence and prevalence of nephrolithiasis have been increasing worldwide. Although dozens of monogenic reason of nephrolithiasis have been identified, the fraction of the disease caused by single genes has not been determined. In this study, employing total exon sequencing technology, we investigated two patients in south-central China with primary nephrolithiasis and identified a novel mutation c.2186G > A (p.G729E) and a known mutation c.2182G > A (p.E728K). The results of our study suggest that plays an important role in nephrolithiasis.

Do Factors Influencing Acceptance of Kidney Stone Formers as Donors Predict Subsequent Stone Events?
Clin Transplant
January 2025
Division of Nephrology and Hypertension, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Purpose: This study aimed to assess whether kidney stone burden and risk factors at the time of kidney donor evaluation were associated with a symptomatic stone event post-donor evaluation.
Methods: We identified adults evaluated at Mayo Clinic (two sites) (2000-2011) for living kidney donation and had either a personal history or radiological evidence of kidney stone disease. We analyzed demographics, stone risk factors, stone number/size, and the committee's donation decision and reasons.
Risk factors of systemic inflammatory response syndrome after minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy with a controlled irrigation pressure.

Department of Urology, Dongguan Tungwah Hospital, Dongguan, Guang dong, 523110, China.
Objective: This study aims to identify the risk factors for systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with a controlled irrigation pressure and to find which patients undergoing PCNL are likely to develop SIRS under the pressure-controlled condition.
Methods: A total of 303 consecutive patients who underwent first-stage PCNL in our institute between July 2016 and June 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. All the procedures were performed with an 18 F tract using an irrigation pump setting the irrigation fluid pressure at 110 mmHg and the flow rate of irrigation at 0.
Impact of diet on renal stone formation.

November 2024
Pediatric Nephrology Centre of Excellence, Department of Pediatrics, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Article Synopsis
- The incidence of kidney stones is rising globally, especially among adults, and dietary habits are significant contributors to their formation.
- A comprehensive literature review analyzed 81 studies from 1999 to 2023, focusing on how various foods and drinks impact kidney stone risk.
- The results showed clear evidence linking fluid intake to stone formation, but findings on different beverages were mixed; overall, modifying diet can help prevent stones, especially for those with a history of them.
A new scoring system to predict febrile urinary tract infection after retrograde intrarenal surgery.
Urolithiasis
December 2024
Department of Urology, University of Health Sciences School of Medicine, Ankara State Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
The current study aimed to determine the risk factors and define a new scoring system for predicting febrile urinary tract infection (F-UTI) following retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) by using machine learning methods. We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients who underwent RIRS and 511 patients were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 consisted of 34 patients who developed postoperative F-UTI, and Group 2 consisted of 477 patients who did not.

Groupe de Recherche Clinique sur la Lithiase Urinaire, GRC n°20, Hôpital Tenon, Sorbonne Université, Paris, 75020, France.
To assess the accuracy of Kidney Stone Calculator(KSC), a software designed for surgical planning, in predicting the duration of lithotripsy during flexible ureteroscopy(FURS) when using the novel pulsed-Thulium: YAG(p-Tm: YAG) laser. From February to August 2023, a single-center prospective study was conducted, including patients with kidney or ureteral stones through non-contrast computed tomography(NCCT), who underwent FURS with p-Tm: YAG laser lithotripsy. KSC used three-dimensional segmentation of the stones from NCCT images, along with an interactive user interface for laser settings, to estimate the stone volume(SV) and the lithotripsy duration(LD).
