Research: Excessive sugar consumption increases the risk of kidney stones

Kidney stones are quite problematic. They cause pain, vomiting, bloody urine, fever, chills and interfere with a person's quality of life.

Risk factors for kidney stones include obesity, diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease.

New research shows that high sugar intake may be a risk factor for developing kidney stones.

The study authors analyzed data from 28,303 adults between 2007 and 2018 from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

The data included the participants' history of kidney stones and their daily intake of excess sugars, determined by food and drink consumption.

The study authors defined excess sugar as "sugars or sweeteners, calories added to foods or beverages during processing or preparation to add flavor or extend shelf life."

The researchers found that participants who consumed more sugar were more likely to have kidney stones.

Additionally, the percentage of caloric energy intake from added sugars was associated with kidney stones.

Participants who got more than 25% of their total energy from added sugars had an 88% higher chance of developing kidney stones than those with less than 5% of their total energy from added sugars./ CNA
