Study Says Oral Antibiotics May Increase Kidney Stone Risk

A study published in the latest issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology stated that oral antibiotics may increase the risk of kidney stones and are especially significant in children and adolescents.

One of the authors of the paper, the medical team led by Gregory Taxian, a urologist at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in the United States, investigated the health records of more than 13 million people in the UK from 1994 to 2015, and found about 2.6 of antibiotics before kidney stones. Ten thousand people, comparing them with another 260,000 people, found that five types of common oral antibiotics were related to kidney stones: sulfonamides, cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, nitrofurantoin, and penicillin.

The results showed that the risk of kidney stones in people using sulfa drugs was more than twice that of those who did not use antibiotics, and the risk of penicillin users was 27%.
