Conférence scientifique
Kidney stone disease is no longer considered merely an episodic urological condition. It is increasingly recognized as a complex, recurrent, and heterogeneous disorder shaped by metabolic, nutritional, genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Growing evidence also highlights its association with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the broader cardio-kidney-metabolic (CKM) continuum.
The 7th edition of the ICONEKT Online Academy, “Let’s Talk About Kidney Stones”, will explore how emerging scientific knowledge can be translated into individualized prevention strategies and more precise patient-centered care.
