Will
Kidney Stone
Cases Rise Due To
Global Warming
?
Kidney stone
is a painful condition caused due to hard deposits of minerals that form in
urine
and cause pain when passing through the urinary tract.
The occurrence of this condition has risen in the previous
20 years
, especially among
women & adolescents
.
A study in
South Carolina, USA
was carried out using two different models to gauge the effects of
heat
associated
kidney stone conditions
.
The risk of
kidney stone
condition increases during
hotter seasons
due to
heavy
dehydration
resulting in concentrated
urine
and
altered urinary flow
.
If there is an urgent
reduction
in
greenhouse gasses
then the cases will rise by nearly
2.2%
.
If there is
unrestrained release
of
greenhouse gasses
then the cases will spike by
3.9%
.
In 2008
Brikowski’s
study had indicated that in the
USA
kidney stone disease epicenters from
2000
at
40%
will
increase
to
56%
by
2050
.
Scientists believe many
other diseases
will be triggered and
kidney stone
will remain just one of the many
health
issues
attributable
to
climate
change
.
