Kidney Stone Disease (KSD) is a prevalent urological condition, while abdominal obesity is on the rise globally. The conicity index, measuring body fat distribution, is crucial but under-researched in its relation to KSD and all-cause mortality. This study, using data from 59,842 participants in the NHANES (2007-2018), calculated the conicity index from waist circumference, height, and weight.

Background: Kidney stone disease (KSD) is a common disorder of the urinary system and is closely related to genetic polymorphisms. However, the relationship between OSBPL8 polymorphisms and kidney stones has not been thoroughly investigated.
Methods: Six OSBPL8 polymorphisms (rs17042391,rs17042409,rs4761431,rs7303892,rs4761434, and rs17042390) were analyzed in a Chinese case-control cohort containing 923 nephrolithiasis patients and 945 healthy controls.

Introduction: In adult patients, most ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) occurs secondarily. Concurrent UPJO with nephrolithiasis is not rare and simultaneous treatment by performing laparoscopic pyeloplasty and endoscopic stone removal has been suggested. In the case of atypical anatomy or previously failed pyeloplasty, a laparoscopic ureterocalicostomy is preferred.

Purpose: Postoperative fever (POF)/urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most unpleasant and undesirable conditions for surgeons after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). RIRS is not recommended for any patient with a positive urine culture to avoid POF and UTI, but some patients may develop postoperative UTI even if the urine culture is sterile. This study investigated the predictive factors of fever and UTIs after RIRS.

Kidney stone disease is a major risk factor for impaired renal function, leading to renal fibrosis and end-stage renal disease. High global prevalence and recurrence rate pose a significant threat to human health and healthcare resources. Investigating the mechanisms of kidney stone-induced injury is crucial.
