“…This result matched with a study demonstrated by [28] who observed that the majority of studied patients with kidney stone were overweight and also mentioned that increasing risk of kidney stones are associated with increasing BMI. Moreover a study demonstrated by [29] reported that High body mass index (BMI) has been linked to an increased the risk of kidney stones.…”

“…The urinary metabolite profile of KSD patients with HTN differs from that of KSD patients with NTN. For example, it was reported that uric acid, oxalic acid, titratable acid and ammonium were increased in the urine of patients with calcium stones plus HTN compared to calcium stones plus NTN, whereas urinary pH and citrate were decreased [13][14][15]. These changes can affect the urinary environment and, consequently, the relative abundance of bacteria in the urinary microbiome.…”

Characteristics of the urinary microbiome in kidney stone patients with hypertension

Background: Kidney stone disease (KSD) is more common in individuals with hypertension (HTN) than in individuals with normotension (NTN). Urinary dysbiosis is associated with urinary tract disease and systemic diseases. However, the role of the urinary microbiome in KSD complicated with HTN remains unclear. Methods: This study investigated the relationship between the pelvis urinary microbiome and blood pressure (BP) in patients with KSD co-occurring with HTN (KSD-HTN) and healthy controls (HC) by conducting 16S rRNA gene sequencing of bacteria in urine samples. The urine samples were collected (after bladder disinfection) from 50 patients with unilateral kidney calcium stones and NTN (n = 12), prehypertension (pHTN; n = 11), or HTN (n = 27), along with 12 HCs. Results: Principal coordinates analysis showed that there were significant differences in the urinary microbiomes not only between KSD patients and HCs but also between KSD-pHTN or KSD-HTN patients and KSD-NTN patients. Gardnerella dominated in HCs, Staphylococcus dominated in KSD-NTN patients and Sphingomonas dominated in both KSD-pHTN and KSD-HTN patients. The abundance of several genera including Acidovorax, Gardnerella and Lactobacillus was correlated with BP. Adherens junction and nitrogen and nucleotide metabolism pathways, among others, were associated with changes in BP. Conclusions: The findings suggest that patients with KSD complicated with HTN have a unique urinary microbiome profile and that changes in the microbiome may reflect disease progression and may be useful to monitor response to treatments.

“…Binary and multinomial logistic regressions were employed to estimate the independent association between KD knowledge, KD risk perception as well as socio-demographic factors. In addition, younger adults (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29) and middle-aged adults (40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49) were employed in the multivariate analyses. Previous studies have shown that there exists inverse relationship between estimated glomerular ltration rate (eGFR) and older age groups.…”

“…Based on the fact that perception/risk perception is the outcome of interest in this study, perception was dichotomized into low and high value by series of 40 multiple-choice questions, which were generated from risk factors. This was done using the KD Risk Prediction Model with some modi cations [44]. Similarly risk perception of KD was categorized as low (≤ 19), moderate (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30) or high (≥ 30).…”

BackgroundIn spite of kidney disease (KD) as one of the eight leading causes of death in women and a chronic public health concern, little is known about women’s knowledge and risk perception of KD. We assessed knowledge and perception of KD risk among childbearing women in Lagos State, Nigeria.MethodsAdministering a pre-tested, structured questionnaire among 825 women aged 15-49 years, we conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study to evaluate self-reported KD knowledge and risk perception among women of childbearing age in urban and semi-urban communities in Lagos State, Nigeria. We employed binary and multinomial logistic regression to assess KD knowledge and risk perception. We used descriptive statistics (mean, frequencies and percentages) to assess socio-demographic factors influencing knowledge and risk perception of KD risk factors.ResultsFour hundred and forty-four (53.8%) out of 825 individuals reported being knowledgeable of KD with significant proportion found in the younger adults’ age group (15-29 years), with mean age of 33.5±11.5 years. High prevalence of self-reported KD risk factors were pica craving, poor diets (junk foods and high in salt), hypertension and urinary tract infection. Multivariate analysis confirmed that the following factors increased the likelihood of knowledge and risk perception of KD: high education, high income and family history of KD. Perception of KD risk at age 40-49 years (OR = 1.22, CI= 1.02-1.63, p = 0.00) and diabetes (OR = 1.40, CI= 1.59-1.18, p = 0.00) were significantly perceived as predictors of an increased risk for KD development.ConclusionOur study reveals high knowledge of KD but low perception of KD risk factors and its ailments. In view of this, this calls for urgent measures to create sensitization and provide public KD behavioural health interventions as well as easy communication strategies for women to secure better access to pre- and post-natal healthcare services.
