Research Abstract

Urolitiasis looks like metabolic syndrome about mechanism of generation. Then, we performed research for establishment of prevention for urolithiasis by considering metabolic syndrome from genetic and environmental factors. In genetic research, we analyzed SNPs of the OPN gene and comared their results to patients background and stome composition.
We found the specific SNPs as a risk marker for stone recurrence. In environmental research, we found that NF kappa B as a stress receptivity signal was increased and mitochondria was received injury by oxidative stress.
