(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Han Sung-gan = A study found that osteoporosis seems to be associated with kidney stones.
The UPI news agency reported on the 3rd that a study conducted by Dr. Kalyani Ganesan, a renal medicine specialist at Stanford University, USA, conducted a study of 530,000 adults diagnosed with kidney stones from 2007 to 2015.
23.6% of them were diagnosed with osteoporosis or suffered a fracture at about the same time as when the kidney stone occurred, the researchers said.
Of those who had no history of osteoporosis prior to the diagnosis of kidney stones, 9.1% had a bone density test after diagnosis of kidney stones, and 20% of them were diagnosed with osteoporosis.
The results show that even people who are not at risk for osteoporosis or fractures need to have a bone density test if they have kidney stones, the researchers interpreted.
In some kidney stones patients, the calcium balance is disrupted, causing calcium to be excreted from the bones into the urine, leading to osteoporosis and formation of calcium stones, the researchers said.
The results of this study were published in the latest issue of the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research in the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).
