Hypocitraturia and Risk of Bone Disease in Patients With Kidney Stone Disease.
Hypocitraturia and Risk of Bone Disease in Patients With Kidney Stone Disease. JBMR plus Ganesan, C., Thomas, I. C., Montez-Rath, M. E., Chertow, G. M., Leppert, J. T., Pao, A. C. 2023; 7 (9): e10786Abstract
Patients with kidney stone disease are at higher risk for bone disease. Hypocitraturia is common in patients with kidney stone disease and a key risk factor for stone recurrence. In this retrospective cohort study, we sought to determine whether hypocitraturia is also a risk factor for incident bone disease in patients with kidney stone disease. We used nationwide data from the Veterans Health Administration and identified 9025 patients with kidney stone disease who had a 24-hour urine citrate measurement between 2007 and 2015. We examined clinical characteristics of patients by level of 24-hour urine citrate excretion (<200, 200-400, and >400?mg/d) and the time to osteoporosis or fracture according to 24-hour urine citrate excretion level. Almost one in five veterans with kidney stone disease and a 24-hour urine citrate measurement had severe hypocitraturia, defined as <200?mg/d. Patients with severe hypocitraturia were at risk for osteoporosis or fracture (hazard ratio [HR] =?1.23; confidence interval [CI] 1.03-1.48), but after adjustment for demographic factors, comorbid conditions, and laboratory abnormalities associated with hypocitraturia, the association was no longer statistically significant (HR?=?1.18; CI 0.98-1.43). Our results in a predominantly male cohort suggest a modest association between hypocitraturia and osteoporosis or fracture; there are likely to be other explanations for the potent association between kidney stone disease and diminished bone health. © 2023 The Authors.
