Probiotics and dietary manipulations in calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis: two sides of the same coin?
No full textGrowing evidence has assigned to oxalate a pivotal role in calcium
nephrolithiasis pathophysiology. A better understanding of the
mechanisms behind intestinal absorption and renal excretion has led to
the identification of new treatments. Among these, diet and probiotics
appear promising in terms of safety and rationale. However, the
discrepancy between in vitro and in vivo results requires further studies
to identify the right patient target, the correct dosage, and the real
modification of natural and clinical history of nephrolithiasis
Nephrolithiasis and gastrointestinal tract diseases: Can diet intervention help?
No full textNephrolithiasis is a disease whose prevalence is continuously rising in Western countries. The most common type is idiopathic calcium nephrolithiasis (80%), but gastrointestinal disease, especially inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), may represent a significant risk factor. Nephrolithiasis is indeed a frequent long-term extraintestinal complication of IBD. Dietary habits have a direct effect on urinary lithogenic risk factors and on the onset of kidney stones. The main dietary features that can help preventing and treating nephrolithiasis are high fluid intake, high consumption of fruit and vegetables, low intake of salt and proteins and a balanced amount of calcium, lipids and carbohydrates. In this review we briefly describe epidemiologic and physiopathologic aspects of intestinal disease-associated nephrolithiasis and the role of diet in contrasting onset and relapses of kidney stones
