Kidney stones are considered a serious disease, due to the great discomfort that they can cause and may even lead to renal failure. Dietary habits could be the reason behind stone formation in kidneys.
Twelve kidney stone samples were collected and analyzed together with typical foodstuffs frequently consumed in the Koya area using the x-ray fluorescent technique.
All the analyzed stones were found to be calcium-based. The results show that elements such as Ca, Zr, S and Cl can be regarded as the core elements for the formation of kidney stones in Koya city in north Iraq.
Many dietary foods and drink frequently consumed by the people in Koya city were observed to contain the core elements. However, more studies are needed to demonstrate if dietary intake may be the main source for kidney stone formation.
肾结石被视为一种严重疾病，因为它们会造成极大不适，甚至可能导致肾衰竭。饮食习惯可能是肾脏结石形成的原因。
收集了12个肾结石样本，并使用X射线荧光技术与科亚地区经常食用的典型食物一起进行分析。
所有分析的结石均被发现是以钙为基础的。结果表明，钙、锆、硫和氯等元素可被视为伊拉克北部科亚市肾结石形成的核心元素。
观察到科亚市居民经常食用的许多饮食和饮品中都含有这些核心元素。然而，需要更多研究来证明饮食摄入是否可能是肾结石形成的主要来源。
