Objective: Oxidative stress and inflammation play crucial roles in the onset of kidney injury and crystal formation caused by hyperoxaluria. Indapamide is a potent medication for treating renal calculi, but it has severe side effects such as hypokalemia, hypercalcemia, and hyperuricemia. Therefore, it is advisable to explore alternative treatments that do not have these side effects. The study aimed to reveal the antiurolithiatic potential of two benzene sulfonamide derivatives (SBCl and SBF; A and B, respectively) against ethylene glycol-induced kidney stones.
Methods: The rats were divided into two main groups: the first group consisted of 20 rats with induced kidney stones, and the second group included 15 control rats. This division enabled a comparative analysis between rats with kidney stones and those without, offering insights into the effects of kidney stone induction on various physiological parameters and biochemical markers. The effectiveness of benzene sulfonamide derivatives (compounds A and B) was assessed in rats with induced kidney stones. The treatment was given orally by gavage for 21 days, administered every 48h after inducing kidney stones with 0.12ml of 5% ethylene glycol (EG).
Results: The influence of compounds A and B on electrolytes, biochemical, antioxidant, and inflammatory reactions in induced kidneys underscores their potential therapeutic advantages in alleviating the advancement of kidney stone disease and related complications.
Conclusion: Both compounds were found to possess equal effectiveness in inhibiting the complications of stone formation. However, SBCl-EG showed superior antioxidant and inflammatory parameters effects compared to SBF-EG. Our study's findings underscore the potential benefits of derivatives in treating nephrolithiasis and related oxidative disorders, highlighting their superior effects on antioxidant and inflammatory responses compared to standard treatments.

Objectives: Nephrolithiasis, with a prevalence of 9% and increasing worldwide, has a recurrence rate close to 50%. Urinary stones significantly impact quality of life and impose substantial economic burdens on patients and healthcare systems. Systemic inflammation is postulated as a risk factor for urinary stones.

Exposure to air pollutants, especially fine particulate matter (PM), has been recognized as a major contributor to the increasing prevalence of kidney diseases. However, until now, evidence for the translocation of airborne nanoparticles (NPs) in the human kidney has been lacking, hindering the understanding of the relationships between PM exposure and kidney diseases. Here, we report the discovery and analysis of airborne magnetite nanoparticles in human kidney stones (with mass concentrations ranging from 363 to 740 ng/g dry tissue weight) by high-resolution microstructural characterization.

The incidence and prevalence of urolithiasis are increasing in industrialized countries. In particular, an increase has been observed among young adults and women. The gender gap is closing, and gender equality (1:1) with regard to urolithiasis has already been documented for the USA.

Background: Kidney stones are a chronic metabolic disorder. The cardiometabolic index (CMI) is a new and easily accessible measure used to assess metabolic status. However, the relationship between CMI and the incidence of kidney stones remains unclear.

Background: Calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals are known to cause renal injury and trigger inflammatory responses. However, the role of exosome-mediated epithelial-macrophage communication in CaOx-induced kidney injury remains unclear.
Methods: To identify key molecules, miRNA sequencing was conducted on exosomes derived from CaOx-treated (CaOx-exo) and control (Ctrl-exo) epithelial cells, identifying miR-93-3p as significantly upregulated.
