The advanced lung cancer inflammation index as a predictor of kidney stone risk in men: a cross-sectional analysis
ALI scores were independently linked to a lower risk of kidney stones, especially in men without metabolic diseases. As a simple inflammation and nutrition marker, ALI could help identify people who have a higher risk. However, due to the cross-sectional design of this study, a causal relationship between ALI and kidney stone risk cannot be established. Further prospective studies are needed to validate these findings.
