Furthermore, in the USA, there was a sharp rise in KSD, i.e., nearly 200%, in the years between 1964 to 1972. Kidney stone diseases (KSD) and associated research have become widespread, with the correlation between genetic predisposition and calcium-based kidney stones being an early observation.

Hence, in this article, we review the corollary associations with the consumption of diverse foods and the role that these play in KSD in an Indian context. In this realm, epidemiological, biochemical, and macroeconomic situations have been the focus of research, even though food intake is also of paramount importance.

KSD associated with hematuria and renal failure poses an increasing threat to healthcare infrastructures and the global economy, and its emergence in the Indian population is being linked to multi-factorial urological disorder resulting from several factors. CHD, osteoporosis, malnutrition, and obesity are extensively discussed in the literature, although there are fragmented findings in the realm of kidney stone diseases (KSD) and their correlation with food intake. The consumption of a balanced diet is essential for overall good health, and a lack of equilibrium can lead to malnutrition, prenatal death, obesity, osteoporosis and bone fractures, coronary heart diseases (CHD), idiopathic hypercalciuria, diabetes, and many other conditions.

Food intake plays a pivotal role in human growth, constituting 45% of the global economy and wellbeing in general.
