Question -What is the association between cadmium exposure and urolithiasis?
Answer- A recent meta-analysis concluded “that increased risk of urolithiasis is associated with high cadmium exposure, and this association is higher in occupational exposure than in dietary exposure. Nevertheless, well-designed observational studies with different ethnic populations are still needed.” (Guo Z et al. Association between cadmium exposure and urolithiasis risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis. 2018 Medicine 97(1): e9460)
