Urolithiasis is a disease of the genitourinary system, which is defined as the presence of urinary stones at any place in the urinary tract, resulting from the precipitation reaction of chemical compounds. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the important role of selected environmental factors (climate, ambient temperature) and the type of profession performed in the development of urolithiasis. In this field, the literature including original and review papers related to the epidemiology, pathogenesis and risk factors of urolithiasis was analyzed. The study used electronic databases such as Medline, Web of Science and Google Scholar. The prevalence of urolithiasis has increased in recent decades in both developed and developing countries. It is believed that this growing trend is associated with lifestyle changes such as the lack of physical activity, poor eating habits and global warming. Many factors are responsible for the formation of urinary stones. In literature, there is a division into individual and environmental factors. Today, external factors in the form of climate changes (global warming), geographical conditions and seasonal fluctuations, and the type of profession performed are becoming more and more important in the context of the occurrence of urinary stones. Currently, the presence of urolithiasis is becoming a significant problem all over the world and searching for causes is not easy, but particular attention should be paid to certain predispositions resulting from environmental factors, such as ambient temperature and the type of work performed.

Infections, high temperature and many of the toxic substances can cause kidney damage. Acute kidney injury is a well known complication of some work-related diseases, e.g., lead intoxication. Chronic kidney disease can also be caused by some occupational factors. Three work-related nephropathies, in which causal connection with work has been proved, are discussed in this article. There are different risk factors of nephrolithiasis, lead nephropathy and silica nephropathy, but each of them can cause chronic kidney disease. Prevention of these nephropaties seems to be relatively simple. The principles of protection from the toxic effects of heavy metals and silica dust are very specific. The most important prevention of kidney stones is correct fluid intake. In addition to providing adequate quantities of drinking water, it is also important to educate exposed workers and assure enough rest breaks at work. Med Pr 2015;66(4):583–593

Zakażenia, wysoka temperatura otoczenia i wiele toksycznych substancji mogą wywoływać uszkodzenie nerek. Dobrze znane jest występowanie ostrej niewydolności nerek w przebiegu chorób zawodowych, np. zatrucia ołowiem. Czynnikami związanymi z pracą może być spowodowana także przewlekła choroba nerek. W publikacji omówiono 3 przewlekłe nefropatie, w których przypadku związek z pracą został udowodniony. Kamica moczowa, nefropatia ołowicza i nefropatia krzemowa różnią się czynnikami ryzyka, jednak każda z tych chorób może prowadzić do rozwoju przewlekłej choroby nerek. Zapobieganie tym nefropatiom jest stosunkowo proste. Zasady ochrony przed toksycznym wpływem metali ciężkich i pyłu krzemionki są ściśle określone. W profilaktyce kamicy nerkowej najważniejsza jest prawidłowa podaż płynów. Poza zapewnieniem odpowiedniej ilości wody pitnej ważna jest edukacja narażonych pracowników i zapewnienie im wystarczającej liczby przerw w pracy. Med. Pr. 2015;66(4):583–593
