Risk of Nephrolithiasis in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Receiving Biologic Treatment.
Journal of Clinical Medicine 2023 September 23
INTRODUCTION: Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. Biologic drugs target specific molecules in the body's immune system to control inflammation. Recent studies have suggested a potential link between their use and an increased risk of nephrolithiasis. We conducted a study to further investigate this association.
METHODS: The study used multiple logistic regression analysis to assess the association between the use of biologic drugs and nephrolithiasis. A p -value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. SAS 9.4 was used for statistical analysis.
RESULTS: The final sample consisted of 22,895 cases, among which 5603 (24.51%) were receiving at least one biologic drug. The biologic drugs received were as follows: Adalimumab 2437 (10.66%), Infliximab 1996 (8.73%), Vedolizumab 1397 (6.11%), Ustekinumab 1304 (5.70%); Tofacitinib, 308 (1.35%); Certolizumab, 248 (1.08%); and Golimumab, 121 (0.53%). There were 1780 (7.74%) patients with Nephrolithiasis: 438 (8.0%) patients were receiving biologic treatment. We found that the use of Vedolizumab (OR = 1.307, 95% CI 1.076-1.588, p = 0.0071) increased the odds of Nephrolithiasis by 31%.
CONCLUSION: Vedolizumab use was associated with an increased risk of nephrolithiasis. The use of two or more biologic drugs also increased the risk compared to no biologic treatment.
