In this case report, a young woman experienced acute kidney injury linked to the use of a hair straightening product containing glyoxylic acid, suggesting dermal absorption may lead to calcium oxalate nephropathy; this highlights the need for regulatory review and public health intervention.

This case report details an instance of acute kidney injury associated with increased oxalate levels likely due to systemic absorption of glycolic acid from hair straightening agents, exacerbated by untreated psoriasis.

In this study, researchers identified a novel biomarker of oxalate metabolism, which plays a crucial role in conditions like hyperoxaluria and kidney stones, marking the first time this detection has been reported.

This review discusses five potential mechanisms for kidney stone formation, including urinary supersaturation, Randall's plaques, sex hormones, the microbiome, and immune responses, and reports no new results.

This study suggests that finasteride may help alleviate high-fat diet-induced kidney damage in mice by reducing TMAO synthesis and regulating gut microbiota.
