There is growing evidence that high levels of cholecalciferol or 25-hydroxyvitamin D may lead to increased excretion of calcium in the urine and an increased risk of kidney stones.
A recent study published in Frontiers in Endocrinology has concluded that patients with kidney stone disease (KSD)having insufficient serum 25(OH)D concentrations are at a higher risk of all-cause mortality.
This prospective cohort study included 2,916 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) participants. All causes of death and cause-specific mortality were identified using The National Death Index (NDI). Multivariate Cox regression models calculated Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals.
