Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting contributions to a Special Issue of Nutrients focusing on the "The Role of Diet and Nutrients in the Management of Different Types of Kidney Stones." This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and healthcare professionals to share their latest findings, insights, and innovative approaches in the field of renal stone disease management.
Dietary studies have played a significant role in the management and prevention of different types of kidney stones. These studies have helped identify specific dietary interventions and nutritional approaches that can reduce the risk of stone formation or help manage the recurrence of kidney stones.
This Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics related to diet, nutrition, and their impact on various types of renal stone diseases, including but not limited to:
- Dietary interventions for preventing and managing calcium oxalate monohydrate, calcium oxalate dihydrate, hydroxyapatite, brushite, uric acid, struvite, and cystine stones.
- Food ingredients as inductors of different types of kidney stones.
- The role of nutrients or food ingredients in the prevention of kidney stones.
- The role of biologically active, natural, and plant-derived (e.g., fruits and vegetables) product preparations in the prevention of kidney stones.
- The role of nutrients or food ingredients in in vitro studies or preclinical animal models.
- Nutritional strategies to reduce the recurrence of renal stones.
- The role of hydration and fluid intake in stone prevention.
- Novel dietary approaches and their clinical applications.
- Tailored dietary strategies based on an individual's specific stone type, risk factors, and dietary preferences.
- Multidisciplinary approaches to patient care and nutritional advice, involving urologists, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals.
We encourage researchers, clinicians, and experts in the field to submit their original research articles and reviews to this Special Issue. All submissions will undergo rigorous peer review to ensure the highest scientific quality.
We look forward to your submissions.
Prof. Dr. Rafael Maria Prieto
Guest Editor
