Abstract：Objective To analyze the composition characteristics and risk factors of kidney stones in Qingyuan area,China,and provide suggestions for the prevention and treatment of kidney stones.Methods The clinical data of patients who visited Qingyuan People's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively collected.A total of 1500 patients with kidney stones were included in an observation group,and 1495 healthy individuals undergoing physical examinations were included in a control group.All kidney stone components were analyzed by infrared spectroscopy,and the risk factors for the formation of kidney stones were analyzed by Logistic regression.Results A total of 262 patients(17.47%)had single-component kidney stones,among them,there are 85 cases of calcium oxalate monohydrate stones(accounting for 32.44%),which have the highest proportion.A total of 1238 patients(82.53%)had mixed-component kidney stones,and most of them contained calcium oxalate stones.Logistic regression analysis showed that daily water intake<1.2 L,tea drinking,alcohol drinking,high-salt diet,high-protein diet,low vegetable intake,and a family history of stones were independent risk factors for kidney stones(P<0.05).Conclusion Calcium oxalate stones are the most common type of kidney stones in Qingyuan area.Daily water intake<1.2 L,tea drinking,alcohol drinking,high-salt diet,high-protein diet,low vegetable intake,and a family history of stones affect the formation of kidney stones.
