Description
Xiaogang Chen and co-authors studied a blood lipid measure and kidney stones in two thousand twenty-six. The measure, risk-weighted apolipoprotein B, refines a standard marker of fat-carrying particles in blood. The authors asked whether higher values go with having kidney stones.
Their case-control study held seven hundred sixty-one people, with stones confirmed by CT scan in two hundred thirty-nine. The stone group had higher values of the measure on average. After adjusting for other traits, higher values still linked to stone status. The link held when patients with high blood pressure or diabetes were removed, and across age, sex, and metabolic subgroups. The authors report an association, not proof of cause.
