Summary: The study explored the interactions among serum uric acid (UA), urine UA, and stone types in urolithiasis patients. Different levels of UA were associated with different types of stones. Proper control of these parameters based on individual predisposing factors is recommended.

Summary: The study developed a test for assessing the risk of UA crystallization (RUAC) and validated its utility in routine clinical practice through urine sample analysis. The test showed high specificity, low false negatives, and reliable discrimination between urine susceptible and resistant to UA crystal formation.

Summary: A meta-analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between BMI and urolithiasis. The results showed that BMI was not significantly correlated with the size of urinary stones, but overweight and obesity increased the risk of uric acid and calcium oxalate stones. The evidence highlights the importance of considering weight loss in the treatment and prevention of urinary stones.

Summary: This study found that changes in BMI precede alterations in UA, and the association between BMI and BP is partly mediated through BMI-related increase in UA in both children and adults. These findings have important implications for addressing mechanisms of obesity hypertension beginning in early life.

Summary: The study used genetic analysis to confirm the causal relationships between obesity, urate, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol. Higher levels of obesity were found to increase urate and triglycerides, while decreasing HDL cholesterol. Urate levels and obesity were also linked to an increased risk of gout.

Summary: In this study, the relationship between BMI and SUA was investigated, along with the mediating effects of gut microbial dysbiosis. The results showed a significant positive correlation between BMI and SUA, as well as associations between BMI and the abundance of certain gut microbial genera. Mediation analysis revealed that the abundance of Proteobacteria and several bacterial genera partially mediated the association between BMI and SUA.

Summary: One limitation of using 24-hour collection in patients with kidney stones is impracticality. This study analyzed the performance of spot urine measurements to estimate 24-hour excretion in these patients. The results showed that spot urine samples have limited utility in clinical practice, and future studies should focus on measuring or estimating 24-hour creatinine excretion.

Summary: This cross-sectional study found a significant positive correlation between serum uric acid (sUA) and body mass index (BMI). The association remained consistent in both males and females across different races.

Summary: The study found that adiposity and alcohol consumption are associated with serum uric acid levels, especially at the higher percentiles. Obese men showed significantly higher SUA levels at the 75th and 95th percentiles, while men with high body fat percentage also had elevated SUA levels. The impact of adiposity and alcohol consumption on SUA was more pronounced at the higher percentiles in the study population.

Summary: This study revealed that women with urinary stone disease during pregnancy were more likely to experience recurrent urinary stone disease postpartum, suggesting the need for increased attention and preventive measures for this population.

Summary: This study investigated the body mass index (BMI) in Chinese patients with depression and its correlation with clinical factors. The results showed that uric acid was the only risk factor for BMI, and patients with underweight had higher depressive symptom scores.

Summary: This cross-sectional study found that impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormones was associated with an increased prevalence of hyperuricemia in euthyroid adults. Body mass index (BMI) mediated the association between impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormones and hyperuricemia. These findings suggest the potential clinical benefit of weight control in maintaining metabolic health among individuals with impaired thyroid hormone sensitivity.

Summary: This study evaluated the risk factors for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and developed an early risk prediction model for GDM by comparing indicators in the first trimester of pregnancy between women with GDM and non-GDM. The model showed satisfactory predictive efficacy in both the modeling and validation cohorts.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of risk factors for metabolic diseases on the composition of urinary stones, particularly uric acid stones. The results show that age, glucose level, HbA1c level, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are associated with an increased risk of uric acid stone formation.
