Abstract:
Kidney stones are a urinary system disease with a high incidence,among which calcium oxalate stones are the most common.Metabolic disorders such as hypertension,diabetes,obesity,hyperlipidemia,and hyperuricemia can cause changes in oxalate,uric acid,and pH and calcium ion concentrations in the urine through multiple pathways including inducing oxidative stress and inflammatory responses by generating reactive oxygen species,ultimately affecting the formation of calcium oxalate stones.This article reviews the possible pathways and mechanisms by which metabolic diseases influence the formation of calcium oxalate stones,providing new ideas for the clinical prevention and treatment of calcium oxalate stones.

Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...
