    TLDR People with hidradenitis suppurativa have a higher risk of kidney stones.
    The study found that hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is associated with an increased risk of developing urolithiasis, a condition characterized by kidney stones. This association was consistent across different analytic models and subgroups, suggesting that there may be overlapping inflammatory pathways between the two conditions. The findings emphasize the importance of monitoring kidney health in patients with HS as part of their management plan.
