Many clinical-epidemiological and experimental observations show that a number of nutrients have an adverse effect on the physical-chemical risk profile in urine, thus suggesting that idiopathic calcium nephrolithiasis (ICN) might be related to diet1. However, a number of reports failed to show evidence for different eating habits between ICN subjects and controls-, We reasoned that if dietary habits were crucial in determining ICN, then obese patients, in whom western dietary patterns are or were maximized, might be at risk for ICN. |
