Online, August 5, 2010 (Newswire.com) - It has long been confirmed that the link between being obese or over weight and kidney stone formation is eminent. It's pretty obvious, the more weight you have the more chances of you becoming kidney stone victim is huge. So what's new about it? Well now there is an update on this information.
While it is true that the facts mentioned above are really happening, the study regarding this matter have noted that the degree of a person's obesity or being overweight does increase or decrease the severity of the said condition.
People always think that the more fats you have, or the more obese you become, the risk of having kidney stones also rises. According to Brian R. Matlaga, assistant professor of urology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the study leader, their study renounces that notion.
He says, "Whether someone is mildly obese or morbidly obese, the risk for getting kidney stones is the same." They have found this by studying the data they have gathered on insurance claims who have undergone health risk assessments through measuring their BMI.
Defined as Body Mass Index, this is a measurement to know that a person is in the level of obesity. A normal BMI should not exceed 30. After gathering the data they have compared the incidence of kidney stones between persons who were non-obese and obese.
As expected the percentage of those who have higher incidence of kidney stones are in the obese group. Then they have arranged it by BMI and found out that there were no changes as far as the severity of the disease is concerned. This is an indication that the risks are all equal.
This is not good news but rather a warning to those who are on the brink of abnormal weight gain. If you feel a discomfort in your lower back, you might want to visit your physician so that you can be given solutions on how to dissolve kidney stones before it can become worse.
By passing kidney stones you will be relived from much more danger like Kidney Cancer or CKD. The earlier you solve your problems, the safer you will become. Thanks to these studies we now have a clearer picture of the things we will expect.
