Diet and renal stones: a case-control study.

C Power, D J Barker, M Nelson

    British Journal of Urology
    |October 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study found that men with kidney stones consumed similar amounts of animal protein, sugar, and fiber as controls. However, stone formers had higher ascorbic acid intake and were more likely to have low fluid intake or lack exercise.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Nutritional Science
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Renal stones (kidney stones) affect a significant portion of the population.
    • Dietary factors are increasingly recognized as potential contributors to kidney stone formation.
    • Understanding the role of specific nutrients and lifestyle habits is crucial for prevention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the dietary habits and lifestyle factors of men with renal stones.
    • To compare nutrient intake, fluid consumption, and exercise levels between men with and without kidney stones.

    Main Methods:

    • A case-control study involving 51 men with renal stones and 94 age-matched controls.
    • Dietary intake was assessed over 4 days using measured food and drink records.
    • Analysis focused on animal protein, refined carbohydrates (sugar), dietary fiber, and ascorbic acid intake, alongside fluid intake and leisure-time exercise.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences were observed in the mean intake of animal protein, refined carbohydrates, or dietary fiber between cases and controls.
    • Men with renal stones exhibited a higher mean intake of ascorbic acid compared to the control group.
    • A larger proportion of men with renal stones reported low fluid intake or no leisure-time exercise.

    Conclusions:

    • Ascorbic acid intake, low fluid consumption, and lack of exercise may be associated with renal stone formation in men.
    • Dietary protein, sugar, and fiber do not appear to be differentiating factors in this cohort.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the specific mechanisms linking these factors to kidney stone etiology.
