Kidney stones are rising in incidence and prevalence worldwide. Given the temperature dependence of kidney stone presentations, climate change is projected to further increase the burden of disease for individuals and society. PATIENT SUMMARY: This mini-review reports current knowledge on climate change in relation to kidney stone disease. Kidney stones are more common in patients living in parts of the world that are hotter and more humid. Kidney stone problems are also more common after periods of high heat, which have a greater impact on men than on women. As temperatures rise with climate change, it is likely that the occurrence of kidney stones and the costs associated with their diagnosis and treatment will increase as well.
肾结石的发病率和患病率在全球范围内呈上升趋势。鉴于肾结石表现与温度有关，预计气候变化将进一步增加个人和社会的疾病负担。
本迷你综述报告了与肾结石疾病相关的气候变化的现有知识。肾结石在生活在较热、较潮湿地区的患者中更为常见。在高温期后，肾结石问题也更为常见，而高温对男性的影响大于女性。随着气候变化导致温度升高，肾结石的发生以及与诊断和治疗相关的费用可能也会增加。
