Smoking can increase the risk of kidney stones in several ways:
1) Smokers have higher levels of cadmium and lead in their bodies, and cadmium exposure is linked to higher rates of kidney stones.
2) Smoking may increase the hormone arginine vasopressin, which has antidiuretic effects and can promote stone formation.
3) Smoking can cause oxidative stress in the kidneys through reactive oxygen species, damaging the kidneys and enabling stone formation.
A recent study found smoking more than doubles the risk of nephrolithiasis (kidney stones).

Smoking effect in the kidney, the urological point of view
1. Smoking effect in the kidney

2. Introduction
• Tobacco use is associated with increased risk of several cancers
including
• Lung
• Larynx
• Oesophagus
• oral cavity and pharynx
• bladder
• pancreas
• kidney
Tobacco is the single most preventable cause of death in the world.
we know both active smoking and environmental tobacco smoke)
causes almost a fifth (19%) of all cancer cases in the UK each year.
[1]
• Liver
• Stomach
• Bowel
• Cervix
• Leukaemia
• Ovarian cancers
9. I will not speak
about cancer
But
Can Cigarette cause
Kidney Stones ?!!!!!
10. Nephrolithiasis is a widespread
multifactorial disorder
• Constitutional
• environmental
• genetic factors
All play a role in stone formation.
what is pathophysiology of stone formation in
smoker ?!
11. Urinary tract stones more common among
1- individuals chronically exposed to cadmium
as compared to the general population.[2,4,5]
-Smoker has high body cadmium and lead level.
cadmium (cd 18-78mcg /20 cigarttes) and lead
(pb 0.9-2,5 mcg/20 cigarttes) for 20 brand of
cigarettes [3]
12. 2- increase in plasma arginine vasopressin level in
smokers.
plasma arginine vasopressin has a strong antidiuretic
action.[6]
13. 3- smoking can increase production of reactive oxygen
species and oxidative stress in the kidney, leading to renal
injury
These kidney injuries increase the nucleation, aggregation,
and retention of crystals in the kidney thereby promoting
the formation of stones[7.8]
14. • Recent study done in 2012 showed the
smoking significantly increases the risk of
nepholithiasis (OR = 2.06, 95% CI: 1.06-4.01, P
= 0.034).
There was no significant difference in the
number of cigarettes smoked (P = 0.830) and
years of smoking (P = 0.536) between subjects
with and without stones (P = 0.536). [8]
