Association of Pregnancy with Stone Formation among Women in the United States: A NHANES Analysis 2007 to 2012

Abstract: Nephrolithiasis is strongly associated with prior pregnancies. Among women of reproductive age the odds of stones are greater than doubled in those who had been pregnant compared with those who had never been pregnant. Nephrolithiasis prevalence also increases with the increasing number of pregnancies. Future investigation and identification of modifiable risk factors among pregnant patients may allow for a reduction in the burden of stone disease in women.

“…This difference may be more attributable to differences in endogenous oxalate production than to dietary intake. As reported recently, analysis of the 2007–2012 NHANES data indicated strong association of kidney stones in women younger than 50 years with prior pregnancies 23 . Women of reproductive age who had been pregnant had more than twice the odds of developing stones, compared with women who had never been pregnant.…”

“…Obesity is a an established risk factor for kidney stones 12 that may increase the risk of recurrence via hypercalciuria 13 or via insulin resistance with lower urine pH and hypocitraturia. 14 Pregnancy has recently been identified as a risk factor for kidney stones, 15 possibly due to hypercalciuria during pregnancy. 16 We also added more granular radiographic predictors compared to the original ROKS model.…”
