    Patients with KSD have a significantly higher risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) compared to non-stone formers.

  • 3

    The study found a hazard ratio of 5.73 for UTI risk in KSD patients, even after adjusting for diabetes.

  • 4

    Calcium oxalate stone formers showed the highest risk of developing UTIs among different stone compositions.

    The cohort study included 819 KSD patients and 2477 matched controls, with a median follow-up of 19 years.
