Abstract

Recent epidemiological evidence indicates an association between urolithiasis and atherosclerosis; however, results are incongruous. Our aim is to summarize the association between urolithiasis and arteriosclerosis risk through a detailed meta-analysis. Relevant studies published before April 2019 were identified by searching OVID, EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science database, and Cochrane Library. The relationship between urolithiasis and the risk of atherosclerosis was assessed by using odds ratio (OR) values and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and the selection of fixed- or random-effects model based on heterogeneity. The meta-analysis includes 8 observational studies that contained 70,716 samples. Pooled results showed that urolithiasis was associated with an increased adjusted and unadjusted risk estimated for atherosclerosis (P=0.017 and P=0.017 and n = 65,751/70,716) with serum uric acid levels less than 6.0 mg/dl, it still showed that urolithiasis was associated with a higher risk of atherosclerosis (P=0.017 and I2 = 0.0%, P=0.017 and P=0.017 and P=0.017 and. Urolithiasis is associated with an increased risk for atherosclerosis, especially in coronary artery and carotid atherosclerosis. Urolithiasis may be ...Continue Reading
