The association of dyslipidemia with kidney stone: result from the NHANES 2007-2020.

Abstract

To examine the association between dyslipidemia and kidney stone disease (KSD). A cross-sectional study data from 2007 to 2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted with serum lipid levels as the exposure and presence of KSD as the outcome, and included adjustment for confounders and subgroup analysis. A total of 38,617 participants were enrolled and classified into two groups according to whether they ever had (n = 3689) or did not have (n = 34,928) KSD. After multivariate logistic regression models, compared to quartile 1 (Q1) of lipid profile, the participants in Q3 (OR 0.8380; 95 CI 0.7380, 0.9515, P < 0.01) and Q4 (OR 0.7373; 95 CI 0.6377, 0.8525, P < 0.01) of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) had a significantly lower risk of KSD in adjusted model 3. Results remained stable after stratified by age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) in subgroup analysis. No association was observed between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) levels, and KSD. Low HDL was associated with a higher risk of kidney stones in the USA adult population.
