Kidney Stones Tied to Global Warming

(July 15) -- Global warming could do more than hurt polar bears: It
could force a rise in kidney stones, scientists warned Monday.
"We see a relationship between kidney stones and temperatures
everywhere," says study co-author Margaret Pearle of the University of
Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. "Even in places with air
conditioning, warmer temperatures mean more stones."
Kidney stones result from salts crystallizing in the kidneys, often
triggered by dehydration, causing famously painful blockages.
Nationwide, kidney stones strike about 12% of all men and 7% of women
over their lifetime.
Warm southeastern states get 50% more cases than northeastern ones.
The new research says global warming will drive this so-called kidney
stone "belt" north triggering at least 1.6 million new cases by 2050.
The United Nations-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
last year warned that industrial emissions of greenhouse gases very
likely would raise average global temperatures 3 to 7 degrees this
century, raising risks for heat stroke and expansion of tropical
diseases such as malaria.
The kidney stone finding, reported Monday by the Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences, combines the panel's projections of
higher U.S. temperatures with Medicare and Veterans Administration
health records stretching from 1982 to 2005 to estimate how many extra
U.S. kidney stone cases will result from global warming. The analysis
predicts:
-- The cost of treating kidney stones will rise 25% by 2050, a bump of
at least $900 million compared with 2000.

-- High-risk zones will cover 56% of states by 2050 and 70% by 2095.
-- Midwestern states will take the brunt of the expansion if cases
rise in straight-line fashion with temperature.
"Everyone in warmer temperatures is at higher risk for kidney stones,
so the findings make perfect sense," says nephrologist David Goldfarb
of New York University Medical Center, who was not part of the study.
"What's so impressive about this study is how they've brought together
models of warming and kidney stones for the first time."
Kidney stones have been on the rise nationwide since 1976, and studies
have shown summer bumps in cases, Pearle says.
Drinking water and staying cool can limit kidney stone risks, Goldfarb
says. People with a family history of kidney stones are at higher
risk. "And not everyone can stay inside. We see lots of soldiers from
Iraq with kidney stones," Goldfarb adds.
