Wcn23-0028 Dietary Sodium and Potassium Intakes and Prevalent Kidney Stone: the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey 2011-2018
Summary
Researchers examined associations between dietary sodium and potassium intakes and the prevalence of kidney stones using national survey data from 2011–2018, finding that dietary mineral ratios may influence kidney stone risk. The study contributes to understanding how diet composition relates to urinary tract health.
We aimed to determine the associations between dietary sodium intake (DSI), dietary potassium intake (DPI), ratio of DSI/DPI and prevalent kidney stone disease defined as self-report of any previous episode of kidney stone.

Trends in Research on The Effects of Nutritional Supplements Against Nephrotoxicity; A Bibliometric Study
A bibliometric analysis of the 100 most-cited articles on nutritional supplements against nephrotoxicity (2001–2023) found growing research interest in antioxidants, probiotics, and phytochemicals as protective agents against drug-induced kidney damage. The analysis mapped research trends and identified gaps in clinical translation of these findings.
In focus: perplexing increase of urinary stone disease in children, adolescent and young adult women and its economic impact
Researchers confirmed a significant increase in urinary stone disease among women, particularly in children, adolescents, and young adults. They propose potential explanations for this sex disparity, including microbiological and pathophysiological factors. The study outlines innovative solutions that may go beyond typical preventive and treatment recommendations to address this growing health concern.
Association of faecal and urinary micro- and nanoplastics with markers of gut integrity and renal function
Researchers measured micro- and nanoplastics in stool and urine samples from 50 healthy adults in Barcelona and examined associations with markers of gut integrity and kidney function. Six polymer types were detected in roughly half of all samples, with polyamide being the most common. The study found that the presence of plastics in urine was associated with elevated albumin-creatinine ratios, a marker of kidney function, suggesting potential links between plastic exposure and renal health.
Urinary Phytoestrogen Metabolites Positively Correlate with Serum 25(OH)D Level Based on National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009–2010
This population study using NHANES data found that higher urinary levels of plant-based estrogen compounds (phytoestrogens) were positively associated with higher blood vitamin D levels, with effects varying by age, race, and body mass index. The findings contribute to understanding how dietary and hormonal factors interact to affect vitamin D status.
Supplemental exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics synergistically amplifies calcium oxalate crystal–induced injury to renal tubular epithelium, accelerating the formation of calcium oxalate kidney stones
Researchers found that polystyrene nanoplastics can synergistically worsen kidney stone formation when combined with calcium oxalate crystals, the primary component of kidney stones. The study detected microplastic components in human kidney stone samples and showed in both cell and animal models that nanoplastics amplify renal cell injury through ferroptosis and increased crystal adhesion.
