I believe that three kinds of changes can increase the risk of stones forming:
A *Lithogenic Triad* of:
1. Changes in urine composition
2. Changes in urine flow
3. Changes in kidney tubule wall composition

📚This is the topic of my research.
💎Stones affect ~20% people and half will get another within 5-10 years.
🧬Some risk is from common genetic changes.
💦Some risk is lifestyle (hydration, diet, obesity).
🔬If we can understand more about causes of stones, we can make treatments to prevent them.

At #ST3bootcamp for urology in Leeds this week. First-class teaching, simulation, and interactions across all new ST3s.
Stones, non technical skills, functional, uroradiology done so far, bladder cancer and recon today.

A privilege to hear from Dr @bristibasu.bsky.social on identifying therapeutic opportunities in pancreatic cancer & Prof. Piers Daubeney on advances in cardiac imaging at the 23rd @ballioloxford.bsky.social Medical Society Annual Dinner.
