>Climate change may cause kidney stones
氣候變化或致腎結(jié)石發(fā)病率增加

Climate change in the coming decades could lead to an increase in cases of kidney stones that would bring huge costs to healthcare systems, according to research by scientists in the United States.
美國科學(xué)家的研究顯示，未來幾十年內(nèi)的氣候變化可能導(dǎo)致腎結(jié)石病例增加，這將大大加重醫(yī)療系統(tǒng)負(fù)擔(dān)。

A study, published recently in Scientific Reports, found even if measures are put in place to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, there would still be a rise in cases of the painful condition.
近日發(fā)表在《科學(xué)報告》上的一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，即使采取措施減少溫室氣體排放，這樣腎結(jié)石病例仍會增加。

With this latest study, scientists sought to project how climate change will impact the burden of kidney stone disease on healthcare systems in the future, The Independent reported.
據(jù)英國《獨立報》報道，通過這項最新研究，科學(xué)家們試圖預(yù)測未來氣候變化將如何影響腎結(jié)石疾病給醫(yī)療系統(tǒng)造成的負(fù)擔(dān)。

The scientists created a model to estimate the impact of heat on future kidney stone presentations in the southeastern US state of South Carolina, which has a higher incidence of the disease.
科學(xué)家們建立模型估算高溫對未來美國東南部南卡羅來納州腎結(jié)石疾病情況的影響。該州腎結(jié)石發(fā)病率較高。

The model predicted the number of cases will increase between 2.2 and 3.9 percent by the year 2089, depending on projected daily temperatures under two climate change scenarios.
