Association between sex hormones and kidney stones: analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
ConclusionsThere appears to be no association between sex hormones and history of kidney stones. Whether there is a more complex interaction of sex hormone levels and the shared association with factors such as metabolic syndrome requires additional investigation. Further studies matching menopausal status for women are necessary to further investigate the potential relationship between estrogen and kidney stones.
