Study finds that pregnancy increases risk for women to develop first-time symptomatic kidney stones
Though researchers have long known that several physiological and anatomical changes occur during pregnancy that can contribute to kidney stone formation, evidence of the link has been lacking. But now Mayo Clinic researchers believe they have that evidence.
An observational study that reviewed the medical records for nearly 3,000 female patients from 1984 to 2012 finds that pregnancy increases the risk of a first-time symptomatic kidney stone. The risk peaks close to delivery and then improves by one year after delivery, though a modest risk of developing kidney stones continues beyond one year after delivery.

The Rochester Epidemiology Project: “The greatest medical resource you’ve never heard of”
The Rochester Epidemiology Project has changed the way we view ADHD. Led directly to new dementia diagnoses. Created a roadmap for treating epilepsy. Right now, dozens of researchers from around the world are relying on The REP for treating COVID-19 patients and tracking vaccine efficacy. The REP has, in the words of the New England Journal of Medicine, “revolutionized medical research.” And, if you’ve ever lived in Rochester, you’re probably a part of it. Written By: Steve Lange | ×
