PHILADELPHIA (StudyFinds.org) - The climate crisis will cause more people to suffer from kidney stones, a new study predicts.
Researchers from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) say kidney stones is a condition in which hard deposits of minerals build up in the urine, causing great pain as they pass through the urinary tract. Their study finds the incidence of this condition has increased in the last 20 years and is more prevalent among women and children.
“While it is impossible to predict with certainty how future policies will slow or hasten greenhouse gas emission and anthropogenic climate change, and to know exactly what future daily temperatures will be, our analysis suggests that a warming planet will likely cause an increased burden of kidney stone disease on healthcare systems,” says study senior author and urologist Dr. Gregory Tasian in a media release.
Heat and kidney stones don’t mix
Past studies have demonstrated that high room temperatures increase the risk of developing kidney stones and, particularly in the United States, more people develop the condition after hot days. With this in mind, the researchers wanted to understand how climate change would impact any future cases of kidney stones.
To do so, the team created a model to estimate the impact of heat on future kidney stone cases in South Carolina. They chose the southern state as a model because it lies within the “kidney stone belt” of the U.S. - a region in the southeast with a greater number of kidney stone disease cases than other areas.

pFizer say it has a “vaccine” for both.
which is their Marketing Dept’s euphemism for:
neither will bother you when you are dead.
Looks like my beloved iced-tea is off the hook.
If heat causes kidney stones, why are they looking at South Carolina and not hotter places? I would suspect a high oxalate diet or other dietary causes before temperature when looking for kidney stones causes but that’s not the narrative.
High-oxalate foods:
Spinach
Rhubarb
Almonds and cashews
Miso soup
Grits
Baked potatoes with skin
Beets
Cocoa powder
Okra
Bran cereals and shredded wheat cereals
French fries
Raspberries
Stevia sweeteners
Sweet potatoes
This stuff is so bizarre; TV commercials today claim x% of children are “underhydrated”...now we deprive people of water?
Marketing today has become such a half-assed effort, just spewing nonsense onto a wall and seeing what sticks. When FReepers wonder why whites (males in particular) are absent from much of the advertising, it is because they watch little TV and believe little of what is aired. TV ads are targeted towards gullible people, just like TV news.
“women and children hit hardest “
Have had a lifetime of Stones, till I finally learned, water,water and more water...drink 2 32 packs of water a week.
And hangnails.
And pimples.
Idiocy is real and ‘science’ these days is filled with idiotic morons.
Only 9 more years left until we only have 9 more years left
The evidence is to the contrary
People fleeing the tyranny of New York and migrating to Florida have no increased incidence of Kidney Stones.
I had one and passing it was, ouch ,painful
“The climate crisis will cause more people to suffer from kidney stones, a new study predicts.”
The “solution” to climate change will result in the death of billions through starvation and exposure, common sense predicts.
Dehydration can cause kidney stones. I had them decades ago. Try to stay fully hydrated and avoided them most of my life since - except for a time when I was working hard outdoors in Arizona in the summer for a month. Just got behind on my water intake.
But how does “Global Warming” suggest we won’t have enough water to drink? These propogandists - NOT SCIENTISTS - are just bonkers!
That was my point; they are trying to project a drinking water shortage (adding it to a whole list of other nonsensical terrifying scenarios they are predicting). They are succeeding in at least convincing many people to stop breeding; mission accomplished. Now they have to get the “survivors” to stop buying homes and cars...
I was dehydrated once to to point of nearly passing out. Rubber legs and vision closing in. Not an experience I would like to repeat.
Forgot your BS tag.
Not to mention dishpan hands!
What color ribbons should we wear for “kidney stones caused by man made climate change awareness”?
