Association between novel indicators for inflammation and metabolism and kidney stones: a cross-sectional analysis of NHANES 2007–2018
This study found that higher NPAR, NAR, UHR, and LHR levels were linked to increased kidney stone risk. UHR exhibits greater stability in comparison to other indicators. Subgroup analyses emphasized the need to consider demographic factors when interpreting these indicators. Further prospective studies are essential to confirm the results.
