Super afternoon discussing all things BPH and Stones. Tobias page Alistair Rogers Kudos to Angus Luk for organising

Delighted that our publication demonstrating that central adiposity causes kidney stone disease via effects on serum calcium concentrations is now out. Thread describing what we did journals.lww.com/jasn/fulltext/…

Calling all people with kidney stones! Small poll below - we would be grateful if people could fill it out. Looking to develop better screening tests for recurrent disease... BAUS European Association of Urology (EAU) TheUrologyFoundation Robert Geraghty john sayer Sarah Howles

I am biased but do subscribe to the European Urology podcasts discussing each month’s issue, an easy way to keep up with what’s new in Urology each month in the impeccable Declan Murphy style! youtube.com/@EuropeanUrolo… via YouTube with @joyce_baard

Studies reveal that adiposity are independently linked to increased risk of kidney stone disease. Targeting adipose depots may counter this risk bit.ly/JASN0238 Sarah Howles CEL Jelena Ben Turney Mark McCarthy Anubha Mahajan Michael V Holmes (he/him) Dominic Furniss

💎Kidney stones affect 10-20% people 🧬Causes=environmental & genetic 🔎We aren’t good at predicting who will get stones 💊We aren’t good at preventing recurrences (~50% patients recur in 10years) 📚My PhD investigates some of this with Sarah Howles Info:baus.org.uk/patients/condi…

Glad you’ve recovered speedily! 🤔A problem with #KidneyStones is we often don’t understand why some people get them & others don’t 🤷🏼‍♀️We aren’t good at predicting who’ll have a stone again & who won’t 📚We need to learn more about this to help patients & use follow-up efficiently

Excited to share what Sarah Howles Dominic Furniss Michael V Holmes (he/him), collaborators, and I have been working on: medrxiv.org/content/10.110… We used systematic, regional #MendelianRandomisation & #Colocalisation to identify 3 genetic regions where #calcium, #phosphate, & #KSD colocalise.

If you live with ADTKD-UMOD please register and come along to our patient information and support day on 20th July at Freeman Hospital: eventbrite.com/e/adtkd-umod-i…

Venk Murthy MD PhD You are aware that these are completely wrong? It depends on whether the predictor is continuous or binary and, if the latter, the prevalence of the predictor. If a marker is found in 0.1% of population, has an OR of 20, AUC will be ~0.505.
