Nephrolithiasis Concept Map Analysis by raquel maniego is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A 67-year-old male smoker and drinker who engages in strenuous farming activities is at risk for nephrolithiasis due to modifiable risk factors including a diet high in salt, preservatives, dried fish, and noodles from canned goods. His 52 years of smoking, 50 years of alcoholism, and coffee consumption increase sodium and calcium secretion in urine, causing supersaturation of stone-forming constituents and decreasing inhibitors that would prevent stone formation, leading to nephrolithiasis.
