Metabolic risk factors and urinary stones formation. Study VIII: lithogenic features of urinary pH in men and women

Introduction. Urine acidity is an important factor that can actively modulate the process of stone formation in the kidneys, which allows using this indicator to use this indicator to assess the risk urinary stone formation and control the result of anti-relapse treatment in patients with urolithiasis (UL). There are gender differences in the prevalence of UL, which may be related to differences in urine acidity. In this study, the effect of varying degrees of pH urine on metabolic parameters and the frequency of detection of urinary stones of various chemical compositions was studied in men and women with UL.
