Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 Gene Polymorphism and Alcohol Consumption Are Associated With Nephrolithiasis in a Chinese Population

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
ALDH2 polymorphisms are associated with increased risk of nephrolithiasis in humans, and Aldh2 deficiency promotes kidney stone formation in mice, especially under alcohol exposure. ABSTRACT Background Nephrolithiasis is a common urological disorder and has become a significant global public health issue.

Transurethral Approach for Management of Large Stone Formed on Staples in a Female Patient With Orthotopic Neobladder Assisted by Transurethral Amplatz Sheath and LithoClast Trilogy

Case Reports in Urology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Bladder stones occurring in orthotopic neobladders are remote late complications with a reported incidence of 5%. They can be managed with open, endoscopic, or robotic‐assisted approaches. A transurethral endoscopic approach is usually offered for smaller stone burdens, while larger stones are often treated by a percutaneous endoscopic or open approach.

Expression of heterologous oxalate decarboxylase in HEK293 cells confers protection against oxalate induced oxidative stress as a therapeutic approach for calcium oxalate stone disease

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2017
Oxalates stimulate alterations in renal epithelial cells and thereby induce calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone formation. Bacillus subtilis YvrK gene encodes for oxalate decarboxylase (OxdC) which degrades oxalate to formate and CO2.
