The cumulative incidence of kidney stone disease in the United States has doubled over 15 years, and its prevalence is now equivalent to that of diabetes. 1, 2 This dramatic and unexplained increase in incidence has disproportionately affected children and young women. 1, 3 Nephrolithiasis is a disorder of mineral metabolism that is associated with increased risk for chronic kidney disease, 4, 5 fracture, 6 and hypertension. 5, 7 Individuals with nephrolithiasis also have a high risk for recurrent painful kidney stone events, 8, 9 some of which require surgery and are associated with increased risk for kidney failure and death. 10Due the rapid shift in the epidemiology of nephrolithiasis, investigators have focused on identifying novel determinants of kidney stone disease, including antibiotics and their impact on the intestinal and urinary microbiome composition. In 2011 in the United States, 262 million courses of antibiotics were prescribed, with the highest rates of prescription for children younger than 10 years and women. 11 Thirty percent of patients are prescribed at least 1 antibiotic annually. 12 In this issue of AJKD, Ferraro et al13 reported that prior antibiotic exposure is associated with incident symptomatic kidney stones among women in the well-characterized Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) I and II cohorts. Strengths of the study include prospectively collected antibiotic exposures and, for a subset of participants, availability of 24-hour urine chemistry test results.
